An emo kid is someone who, because of his or her poor self-image, feels the need to segregate himself from the bulk of the society. By presenting a ridiculously exaggerated appearance of individuality, the emo kid bolsters his ego-centricity, thereby masking a sense of alienation behind the mirage-like appearance of self-solidarity.
Emo kids, who are sometimes referred to as "whining children", derive their sense of identity against that which is outside the narrow "emo" canon of thinking. They are often viewed as pests by those with a sense of self-confidence.
Identifying characteristics include badly written poetry, the perception of talent where no such talent exists, be it in self or admired "artists", a style of dress that reflects the ill-sophistication of a parrot's hierarchy, and a general lack of awareness as to how the world really works and how things actually are. Generally speaking, emo kids understand the world by comparing it to a childishly unrealistic system of ideals.

Emo kid (unisex): "Once I took 8 Tylenol and slit my wrists sideways. My parents took me to the hospital in their BMW* and the doctors sent me to a psychiatrist, but I don't take the pills he gave me because I hate the pharmaceutical industry, it's so corrupt and evil. Lets go down to Cafe Bean and write haiku on our laptops."

Get the emo kidmug. Well as far as i read, all the definition of "emo kid" were by...you guessed it, emo kids. I personally don't care that you are "in touch with your emotions" and are "loving towards one another". I'm going to hate you because I'm a close-minded, sadistic mother fucker and I hate emos. I really hope you die.
Oh, and for those of you that put that difference between "cool" emos and "gay" emos, then preach about how you shouldn't label people, congradulations, your a hypocrite...pussies.

Get the emo kidmug. One who walks around moping with a pouty face. Usually expresses him/herself 'artistically' by writing depressing 'emo' songs, writing depressing 'emo' poetry, or drawing depressing 'emo' pictures. usually has a notebook and/or guitar with him/her at all times.
male forms usually have long hair that covers about 3/4 of their face and attracts a lot of the ladies. they wear t-shirts from hot topic with such depressing artists as kurt cobain and pablo picasso on them. male forms may also have different girlfriends for different days of the week, as they believe that the more broken relationships they have, the more bad whiny ideas they have for their emo art.
female forms usually have emo kid glasses. they wear dark clothes and are (generally, but not always) self mutilators. they like to whine about how their mom abuses them and they live in a broken home. often, they also date different people of the week for inspiration. emo females are not as common as emo males.
if you ever see an emo kid, watch out. not only are they dangerous to your mental health, but if you get too close to them, they are likely to base some of their emo depressing art on you.

Get the Emo Kidmug. Ive read some of the other diffinitions for this class and i really liked what i saw from thier difinitions. Emo is all about doing what you want. Its not about being over dramaticle and over emotional, thats part of it but its more about expressing what you really want to express about yourself and no more. Its most closly related to goth. But people say that they dont call themselves emo or goth or prep, etc., but by saying a true emo woudnt, arent woudnt you be contridicting your self? So an emo kid is just a label put on a list of rules that happen to not be very limited, but at the same time restrict what people think or say. If people want to really follow what these sites suggest to be emo, then dont allign your self with any social class what so ever. The only class you should be in is Your Self. So be true to yourself no matter what that means!!! I dont support being gay, but if thats you hay, run with it. I'm a christian, so i think you should follow God, but even the choice of your religion should be what you really feel like. (its not confillcting with your self if you go with christianity) EMO IS JUST A DUMB TITLE!!!

Get the emo kidmug. This group (notice I didn't use the word 'individuals') is mostly characterized by kids from middle school to high school age. Emo kids are very rarely adults because if your still enough of a pussy to be emo when you're 20, you actually kill yourself when you start to realize that you had no idea what depression(or 'the deep black emptiness thats raping my withered soul' for translation purposes) really is.
The second largest characterization is by their dress-code, taste in media (notice I didn't say art. See porn if you want art) and writing poetry with all the same literary devices and genre. The music is usually made by someone who has managed to get rich off of being the most pathetic people the fad has to offer(raise a glass if you see them). They seem to think that dressing exactly the same(black everything so don't bother with your high beams) is also a sign of individuality (See individuality). Their clothes are all purchased, or scavenged, from patronizing all the same places: garbage bins, wal-mart lost and found, thrift stores, Hot Topic, and gratuitously burglarizing the storage buildings of pop stars from the 80's.
Finally, the third largest characterization is the insistence on being known as an individual whilst being part of the largest fad in recent history. Most of these children would say that they are individuals because they do what they want when they want. The fault in this logic is that everyone in America does the exact same thing. I highly doubt most of America's youth is still being dressed by their parents and are deprived of choice. They get uppity about getting called goth as well (if you ripped off the culture of an entire group of people that are just as stupid just because you where to scared to be as hardcore as they were, would you want somebody bringing that up all the time?). In effect, all anybody manages to do being an 'emo kid' is to subject yourself to ridicule, dress like a moron, and most likely end up with a head full of regret later on in life about how stupid you were to make out with a member of the same sex just to be seen as 'cool'.
They usually are found to frequent malls(a pop-culture hub oddly enough), MySpace and/or Face Book. Their pictures are from a 45 degree angle above their face. (See money shot)
