Emo

A perfect three part mixture of punk, goth & suck.
I work with a guy who is a total emo. He updates his mood on myspace on a daily basis so others will know how he's feeling. 9 out of 10 times it's always some adjective for his self-inflicted depression. The really sad thing is he's 27 years old.

Emo

Emo culture in england..

Its subculturial plagiarism. A cancer of social uniques. Absorbing its favourite bits of symbolic social groups, creating a mainstream mash-up thats easy to follow with mass appeal.

Its prime targets will be "cool" underground scenes or movements. These are discovered, expoited, they quickly become commerical, thus ruining the appeal of feeling "different" while still being apart of something.

It's the lust to be unique, but at the same time feel apart of a group that fuels this popular social tend.

It seems appeal mainly but not exclusively to middleclass white boys with no clue about pussy or music.
skinny fit jeans from the 70s, flat peak caps from hip hop, bright luminous colour from 90s house/rave/dance, gloth/grunge jewelry and make up, converse/indie shoes, jock checkered shirts, metro/indie hair cuts.
blokes wearing make up. Someone that likes pendulem or chase and status or says they like dubstep but didnt know what it was 3 years ago. They like "nu rave" which isn't even a real genre.

(emos always call me a chav but I just know that girls dont give a shit what im wearing cus my dicks massive)

Emo

Emo people have low self confidence, and are usually sensitive. Many of them are easily upset and are sometimes depressed at small matters and overreact. They many times wear out-of-the-ordinary clothing much as skinny ties, tight jeans, hoodies and sweaters, horn-rimmed glasses, studded belts, bands shirts, and much of the clothing is either very dark or brightly colored. Some clothing have stripes, stars, broken hearts, skulls, or checkerboards. They often have friends who are also emo, goth or punk.

Popular Emo Rumors:

1. All emos cut.

No, not all emos cut themselves. Some like self-inflicted wounds, while others prefer to express themselves through other things, such as poetry and songs. But if an emo cuts themselves, that doesn't mean they don't write poems or songs, as this is not uncommon in an emo.

2. Emos worship Satan(Or the devil...W/e)
No. Simply no. This was most likely sterotyped from the fact that they wear dark clothing, and some have anchany symbols or skulls on clothing.

3. All emos are depressed ALL THE TIME.
No. Emos can laugh and love others like anyone else. Emos are simply get depressed more easily than most people. They are often NOT as depressed as everyone thinks, and really, well, ya.

Emo

Probably the most stupid and soft form of punk. (NOTE that other punk genres kick ass ).
Songs are usually themed with depression, teen angst and suicide. Also emo music has developed its own form of fashion : Scene. Scene or Emo kids always cry around for how about their lives suck and how nobody understands them.
Another also annoying and totally wrong thing about emo is that they think are brutal or hardcore.
1. There is nothing brutal in emo songs. Songs structures are with crappy guitars, almost unnoticable drumming, and singing that really sounds like crying.
2. There is nothing hardcore about emo. HARDCORE is a type of punk, and is fast, agressive and totally kickass. And emo has none of that. The emo songs are depressive and slow.
Emo is not brutal. If you want brutal, go listen to some good death metal.
OMFG ! My life sucks, I'll go cry and slit my skinny wrists !
