Emo

A term used when describing someone who listens to the genre of music and/or genres such as rock and metal, wears mostly black and other dark colors, has hair that can easily be mistaken as "Bieber hair," is assumed to cut themselves, want to kill themselves, and/or is depressed (which they probably are but thats nothing to make fun of). They're horribly mistreated and judged just because of what they wear, the kind of music they listen to, and the way the portray themselves to be.

Emo

A word heartless people use to either describe themselves (which may actually make them just attention whores) or people who are "controversial" in their beliefs(that makes the person using emo an idiot, a bigot, and a person whom we can only describe as a mini me of Donald trump, easily hated, could be even easier murdered)
Person 1: I'm such an emo, I cry and cut twenty times a day. (Liar)
Person 2: Who cares about that emo kid? He thinks Fetty Wapp is stupid.

Emo

I'm sick of people saying ALL Emo's are fake I don't think I am. An emo is somone who is supposed to be unique but unfortunately lots of supposed 'Emo's' totally f**ked that up the whole point of Emo is to be different not the same!!!

Emo

Emo can mean a lot of things, & as with any label, it is just one word trying to desribe something much bigger, so it's not strictly one thing or another, & it's meaning changes over time.

Originaly, emo was a music scene in the 90s & short for "emotive" now Emo is more generaly accepted to be short for the word "emotional" which is not to say one is more correct but that the word "emo" has changed over time.

1. A music genre of a typicaly melodramatic, not always depressing but often emotional rock genre, or a softer version of hard-core rock. Describes bands like MCR.

2. A type of indavidual, generaly a teen, who is very emotional. They may or may not listen to "emo" genre & may or not follow the "emo" style (black hair covering one eye, tight dark clothing, wrist bands...) they typicaly wear alot of black but don't have to, but are troubled indaviduals, often with a mood disorder &/or alot of abuse in their past. Some emos cut themselves or self-mutilate, but not all do. some are suicidal, but they don't have to be.

Alot of people would classify someone as "emo" who really is more "poser," or trying to "be" emo, or any other subculture, in order to get attention. (pretending to cut, making a point of wearing "emo" clothing...) This does NOT go for all emos.

3. Anything particularly dark or emotional. Any writing that is particularly anxty or talks about loss, depression, feeling of being alone or differant. The same goes for any form of artistic expression.
1. I like to listen to alot of music; i like metal, emo-rock, and some alternative.

2. I have been acting alot more emo since i got into high-school, becasue i have had alot more anxiety, and i find myself wearing alot more black.

3. This poem about my dog dying came out sounding really emo.

Emo

Emo is a state of mind, or the modern term for depressed. What people say is emo, long hair, guyliner, converse, raccoon eyes, ect. is all called scene. Scene people are bubbly but deep. Emo on the other hand, is where something in ones life seems to have scarred them. They beleive there is no-one to run to, so they bottle stuff up, and or use self harm.
Scene kid: "YAAY! I bought a new Tu-tu and some new liquid eyeliner! VICTORY IS MINE"

Emo kid: "There is that side of me where im sad...but happy enough to fake being happy...then there are those days where i cant even bring myself to be happy"
