Emo

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.

Emo

“EMO"

It's a word commonly misunderstood as a modern stereotype,which is used day after day again and again.

"emo" is actually referred to a specific sub-genre of punk rock known as "emotive-hardcore" which has been around since the 80’s

Emotive-Hardcore has branched off of other similar genres such as "Hardcore" and "Post-Hardcore".

Emotive-hardcore is the true meaning of the word "emo" and has been twisted to refer to something far from what originally intended. In fact, “emo” has kept its original meaning and now its new meaning causing it to become an ambiguous word. Most however just use it to make their lives less boring (haha)

However these people, although most listen to “emo” music, cannot possible be referred to as “emo” because they are not a sub-genre!

It is not only wrong to label someone as “EMO” but also degrading because of the numerous stereotypes. the most common misconseption: CUTTING. These do refer to a minority of the “Scene/HxC” society. Although scene kid’s clothing may represent a state of depression it has nothing to with being a cutter. Scene kids and cutters are two separate types of persons.

-Remember that if everyone were the same, it would be a pretty boring, bland, and monotone world. The need to be different is necessary in order for one to express their inner feelings and thoughts, as well as share common interests with others.

So Stop the hating! :D

Emo

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.
I'm not emo mom, this is the real me and it's not a phase.
