emo

although you say that "emo" isn't a term that means "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" etc, surely if people commonly use the word "emo" to describe all that shit, then the word "emo" really does mean "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" because that is how it has come to be interpreted. That's called ETYMOLOGY, dumbass, and it's precisely what this site is designed for!
> He is sooo emo
* yeah. Eeeemooo...eeemooo!

Thus a person is labelled as "emo" and the word "emo" is used to describe that type of person. savvy?

Emo is something that a lot of people hate and god knows why. There's nothing wrong with it and people need to grow up. Quit putting emo and gothic in the same category they are completely different. I think people should know everything about something if they are going to hate it, I mean what's the point in hating something you know nothing about? So get a life, get off emo's case and worry about something worth while, and if you continue to dwell on it, then go have a cry about it and become what you people assume to be emo.

emo

A bunch of fags that wear black, cut themselves, cry over little things even though they are loaded enough to shop at Cock Topic( yeah you have lots of money and parents that love you enough to give you money, life is pain huh?) These are not considered human, but a subspecies known as emopithecidae. They should be shot on site and are an annoyance to all.

Emo

People become emo for different reasons.

1. Because they are depressed and need something to make them feel happier about themselves by conforming to a group of people that feel the same way.

2. Because they like the clothing or music and to fit in change other things to make themselves fit in to be proper emo.

3. Because they want an identity and emo is the easyest group to join.

I would be intrested to know if theres any other reason someone would want to become emo.

Emos try to say that they are not emo and just being themself. But themself just happens to be the exact description of emo and that doesn't happen unless you make it happen.

Emos wear tight t-shirts, black skinny jeans, converse or vans they have black dyed hair which if is not perfectly straight it is straightened untill it is. They try to be hardcore but just look like twats doing there hxc dancing to there shitty emo music. Just type in hxc to youtube for an example.

There are band out there that are not emo and are doing hardcore and punk much better than them eg gallows.

Emos stole alot of things from indie and metal and make it much much worse than the original.

emo

1)Country and blues music for the punk generation

2) Mature artistry that is overlooked by people who prefer misogynic music like gangsta rap, pop-rap, hardcore rap, most hard rock, certain R&B, and pop that only cares about sex
1)Emo is considered country and blues for the punk generation because it talks about the same things country and blues talk about--your lover leaving you and you think you can't go on without them-- yet it gets dissed while country and blues don't. What is wrong with this picture?

2) Anybody who claims emo is overwrought hasn't truely listened to it and are just hating on it because they're told it's cool to not express your emotions.
