Emo has nothing to do with cutting, depression, or black actually. I mean, yes, many emos have that aesthetic but it isn't part of the definition.
The real definition according to a real emo, like me, is more like a version of intensly emotional rather than dead inside.
To be honest, I would go so far as to say that My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Twenty One Pilots are emo. Why? Emo music is a genere of music that is extremely emotional, listeners can actually relate to it because it tends to talk about the subjects that almost no one else is willing to sing about, the stressful ones. And most of the singers are passionate about what they're doing with their life and they genuinely care about their fans, unlike Justin Bieber. Just because you wear black, like rock, wear eyeliner and an orange beanie, doesn't make you emo. Your heart does. Emos don't even wear that half the time. It's all stereotyping. Don't stereotype people, they decide wether they want to join The Black Parade or The Skeleton Clique.

Get the Emomug. Teenagers or preteens that listen to bands such as twenty one pilots, my chemical romance, pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens, bring me the horizon, etc... they all shop at hot topic and think they're depressed and have anxiety and spend a lot of time on tumblr. Oh and they're all bi or sexually confused.

Get the Emomug. EMO PERSONALITY

Get the Emomug. Originally started as a type of music genre, emo has evolved into a type of style for young teens. Many emo people are considored posers by people not in their cliques. Many people who considor themselves as emo are in fact not emo, but just favor the style. Posers who get a little carried away tend to cut themselves to show off how emo they are.
People who considor themselves emo are most likely not emo, unless you count what their friends say.
People who do NOT considor themselves emo are probably more emo than the other type of emo, who considor themselves emo.
REAL emo people most likely have depression disorders and mood problems.

Ex 1 (Poser Emo): Emo #1- Hey dude, your cuts make you look so emo right now.
Emo #2- I know, right?
Ex 2 (Emo): - Guy #1- Hey dude . . . are you emo?
Emo #1- I don't know . . . I don't really care. I'm just kind of depressed.
