A social classification that has been bastardized by scenesters, rich preps, and wannabe goths united. A true emo kid does not label him/herself as being "emo"...often this label is foisted on him or her against the alleged emo kid's will. True emo kids listen to whatever the hell music they feel like, and it is often poetic or expressive. Emo is not a clothing style, cutting your wrists, or being a frequent buyer at Hot Topic. Those who call themselves "emo" are most likely just trying to be "scene" and have really screwed up the genre through wearing generic, borderline gothic clothing that all their sad little friends wear.
FAKE EMO KID tries to be emo because it is "scene" at the moment. Is often rich and frequents expensive stores like Hot Topic to cultivate a flawless emo image. May go so far as to draw fake scars in strategic locations so as to look depressed and suicidal. Claims to listen to indie bands that no one else has heard...and neither has the fake emo kid.
TRUE EMO KID was most likely emo before this was a stupid fad. May shop at hot topic, but only if they actually like the clothing, not because they think it will make them look cool. Probably classified by friends and others as "emo"...the label is often not self-professed in the case of the true emo kid. Doesn't give a shit whether music is mainstream or not...it just has to be artistic.

A group on whiny teenagers who sulk on how bad there life is. Most of these winy faggots are very well off and have no reason to whine about everything. The emo guys were tight pants and look like girls. They complain about every little thing and the faggots cut themselves wen somthing dosn't go there way.

First of all, all of this crap out today like Dashboard Confessional and TaKiNg BacK SuNdaY lyk OMG!!!!!! is NOT emo. MTV just decided to call it that because calling it pop music wasn't "punk rawk" enough. Emo does not stand for "emotional." It stands for Emotive Hardcore, and had it's beginnings in the DC hardcore scene in the early 80's. This website >>>http://www.fourfa.com) explains it all rather nicely, for the most part. REAL Emo was never about being "scene" wearing tight sweaters and eyeliner, or acting like a pussy, it was about the music. But the Emo scene died in the mid 90's, and it should RIP, not be dragged up and slapped on all of these shitty bands as a label.

a person who likes rock music. real emos have a wider music taste that you would think and they generally do not give a shit if the popular kids like some of their music or not. they do not always wear completely black or cut themselves. real emos only cut themselves if they actualy are depressed about something. fake emos cut so that they can fit in with the emo stereotype.
