Emo

A social trend of the early to mid 2000s. Characterized by angsty teenagers, mainly from middle class suburban families, dressing in tight pants (often girl jeans), studded belts, black band t-shirts, and heavy use of eye liner with dark straightened hair with crispy bangs meant to cover one eye.

Music tastes tend to be a form of rock characterized by whiny depressed lyrics about some deep seeded emotional issue.

The Emo trend gave rise to toxic social media where dealing with insecurity meant creating an embellished internet personality to appeal to the masses rather than actually learning to love and accept yourself for who you really are.

The Emo era ended sometime in the late 2000s when Myspace began giving way to Facebook. The fashion and music tastes died out but the general attitude of "depression is cool" remained to this day.
Look at that emo kid. He's cuter on Myspace than in person.

Emo

An amazing type of music. The most popular bands in the emo community are My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. We are not fucking depressed. We don’t slit our wrists. In the great words of Gerard Way get your bad vibes out of my cornflakes I am not interested.
Dumbass: Hey Sofia is emo now. Does she like slit her wrists or something?
Smart person: No! Not a lot of emos slit their wrists! One of the lines in an emo song is “Maybe it’s not my weekend but it’s gonna be my year!”
