Emo

Emos do not always wear dark clothing. We usually like dark colors so that is what we wear. Some of us are secretly emo so some people don't know that we are hurting. Emos are not over emotional and do not seek attention. We do not always cut, cutting is a stage and some stay in that stage. Emo is not how you dress, or how you treat your body, or how you act. Emo is a state of pain. Yes, most of us do have antidepressants or antianxiety medications. The thing that people don't understand is that when you cut, you are in so much pain that you are trying to release it or you feel you deserve pain. This word is more of a lifestyle/personality style. I hope this doesn't offend anybody as other people's definitions have offended me.
Technically, Demi Lavato is emo because she has cut, been through a lot of pain, has that edgy style where she wears her favorite colors that are usually dark.

Emo

Funny people that are not satanic
Suicidal outcasts

They are some of the most chill people out there in my opinion

I can be myself around them and talk about Mcr and Fob non-stop and they wont even be irritated

Unlike some people emo's are okay with admitting that they are to confirming to a group

The real ones know that they are not "making a statement" or
"Trying to rebel against society"
Maybe they just thought that it would be nice to wear band merch with some black skinny jeans

Not all emo's are depressed

In fact some of the happiest people I've ever met were emo they were probably just faking it but they weren't going around writing poems and songs about it
What people think emos are:
OH MY GOD MY LIFE SUCKS
I HATE MYSELF
IM GONNA GO KILL MYSELF

What emos really are:
WHOOP WHOOP

BRENDON URIE REVINED MEE

OH MY GOD MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS GETTING BACK TOGETHER!!!! Hrudhdgdidvshx*faints*

Emo

Originally short for emotive hardcore, a subgenre of hardcore punk and post hardcore catagorized by more personal, emotional, and confessional lyrics. It is not a shitty subculture of edgy teenagers who are desperately trying to be unique and different, those are just scene kids. No, chances are if you see it on a shirt at Hot Topic, it is not an emo band (Or a screamo band for that matter).

Some examples of emotive hardcore bands are:
Embrace,
Rites of Spring,
Moss Icon,
Indian Summer,
Dag Nasty

Emo more commonly also refers to another genre known as midwest emo, indie emo, or simply just emo. This type of emo is more closely related to indie rock (which is also probably different than what youre thinking).

Examples of indie emo bands
are:
Sunny Day Real Estate,
Cap'n Jazz,
Joan of Arc,
Jimmy Eat World (early),
Mineral

Both of these types of emo often include shouted, screamed, or occasionally sloppy vocals, respectively.
Respectable emo fan: "Moss Icon is a really good and influencial early emo band."

Scene kid: "i luv emo!!!!1 are they like My Chemical Romance??? RAWR XDDD"

Respectable emo fan: "God has abandoned us."
