Emo

Okay you might hear alot of bad things about emos that isnt true. So here is the real definition to emo. Kids that may feel sad and or alone. If you heard the emo song thats all just a bad strioetype. Emo isnt like goth. Emo isnt a cult. Emo started out as a type of music and developed into a style. Emo is short for emotional. And next time you see an emo dont judge them right away get to know them first. If your child is emo. Leave it alone it may be a phase and they WILL grow out of it. Though it take a while support them and it will be be okay.

Emo

Emo means 'emotional.'
It does NOT mean that the person cuts themself;
they might, but lets not jump to conclusions.

Emo is also a genre of music. Also, Punk.

For example:

-Hawthorn Heights
-Amber Pacific
-Cute Is What We Aim For
-My Chemical Romance
-Mayday Parade
-Taking Back Sunday
-Panic! At The Disco
-Paramore
etc.

Personallly, I like them all (:

** You are not emo if you call yourself emo. **

-People who take pictures of themselves and put 'emo' as the caption are called 'posers.'

-Posers are people who act emo to be cool

or to be in the social scene as emo,
they only want attention.

-Emo people do not complain about EVERYTHING and they are not LONERS.

-When people cut their wrists it normally happens as a teenager and it will not happen as an adult, the person usually grows up and realizes they shouldn't be hurting themselves because of someone else.
*Goes on myspace and updates status*
xHIxIMxEMOx: " Im such a depressed emo kid, im gonnnna go cut myself. :'( "

^^^ That is called a poser(:

They want attention. (and comments on their status because its sooo dramatic) hah

Emo

An emo is not a well off teen that puts on a fake personality, when emos say they are misunderstood it is interpreted in entirely the wrong way, when emos say they are misunderstood it does not mean that they are depressed beyond what you could imagine, it does not mean people could not possibly understand the tough times they are going through, when an emo says they are misunderstood they mean people think they avoid having fun, self harm, are antisocial, and are essentially drama queens. These stereotypes are not true, what people dont understand about emo is that it is purely a fashion sense and taste in music, it is an alternative style, such as indie, goth (which also generalized blindly), punk etc.
It is time people realized that emos are sociable and just tend to enjoy socializing with others who share their taste in music and fashion. Any emos that do happen to be depressed, it is due to the fact that they have been bullied senselessly by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
One day Johnny discovers that he enjoys alternative music, he starts listening to it more and ends up wearing darker colours, tight jeans and hoodies etc.

Many people see what Johnny is becoming and instantly think he is depressed and self harms 'oi Johnny you emo cunt' is one of many offensive comments Johnny recieves on a regular basis, and slowly get worse, which makes him feel down, and he does end up feeling depressed like any other bully victim would, emo or not.

A popular style. Usually the people that are emo are teenager kids who want to be unique and different, but they're all the same.

Emo

ok, lets quit dissing the emos.
emo stands for emotional.
many of them dont know how to cope with the many hard obstacles of life(like me) and many of them turn to cutting themselves. it helps release everything that is being held inside. not all emos have black spiky hair and tight jeans etc. an emo person can look like a prep. it doesnt matter, fact is, is that emo means emotional.

it can also be a style.
Im having a tough time dealing with life, so people call me emo.

Emo

What was primarily a form a music which morphed into self-pitying teenagers has now become the ideal label for teens who want attention. The difference between actual emo and fake emo:
Actual- Don't ALWAYS wear black.
Fake- Always wear black.
Actual- Take antidepressants because they actually need them.
Fake- Take antidepressants to look emo.
Actual- Pity themselves and are depressed.
Fake- Want attention.
"Boo-fucking-hoo you're not the only one whose lifes a piece of shit.
And yet, miraculously, somehow we all seem to deal with it.
Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists?
In fact, I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit."
