Elder Emo

An emo kid from the early- to mid-2000s who is now in their 30s and 40s but still loves the genre, listens nostalgically the old bands, and waits for the emo wave to come back. Elder Emos have jobs and family responsibilities but still wear band shirts and skinny jeans on the weekends. At their best, they joyfully encourage and promote the next generation of emo rockers. At their worst they hold onto the past and fall into despair while lamenting how the new music “just isn’t as good.”

Person 1: I just found my iPod Nano from 2007. Want to listen to some Circa Survive?

Person 2: Ah, I see you’re an Elder Emo.

Emo

A person who tries desperately to be a goth, fails miserably and cries about it. Usually writes feeble songs about death/rejection, has ruined eyeliner from crying and will whinge and whine incessantly about wanting to kill themselves but don't have the guts to go ahead and do it. Usual target for chavs, along with moshers, goths grungers etc

Emo Girl: I had an arguement with my mum today. I cried for hours afterwards. I was that close to picking up a razor and slitting my wrists...uh...You're not even listening are you? *crys*

emo

a total joke; a form of amusement for people who are sane and relatively normal; yet another money making machine for MTV; an excuse for well to do kids with no real problems to sit around and complain about something;

emo dude/girl/it: my life is a dark abyss
sane person: *laughs and walks away*
