Emo

A guy/girl who says they're "different" and if you say they're "wierd" they'll tell you your not "wierd enough"

Too many today, it used to be a thing only a small ammount of people did, now you can see some kids as young as 10 getting in on the act.
They often sound the same when justifying themselves aswell, (see below).

Emo

1. Despite what many people may think, emo is a genre of music
2. It can also be a synonym for scene kids
3. But most people refer to it as those goth kids who cut themselves, when really thats a pretty good name for them (no offense to you "emo" people)
4. Short for emotional
Connor: You are so emo!!
Zoya: IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO BE EMO!! IT'S A GENRE OF MUSIC!!!

Emo

Often a word confused with a fuzzy red little creature who just likes to be tickled
Gjon- "Emo people are weird people that wear black and are really gay..."

Dan- "I thought he was the cute dude from sesame street... I'm pretty sure I saw his toy and it said to tickle him"

Gjon- "That's Elmo!"

Dan- "I've heard it both ways"

Emo

A style of clothing and music that includes black along with accents of neon, skinny jeans, long hair and bangs that fall partly or completely over one or both eyes, usually angled. Some emo guys wear eyeliner. Emo music can includes screaming, along with singing. It's a type of metal. Emo music can be screamo, death metal, emo-core, alternative, etc.

False Stereotypes:

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE DEPRESSED. There are plenty who are happy with their lives.

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE SELF-HARM. Self-harm and emo style have nothing to do with eachother. There are preppy people that self-harm, as well as emo people. Self-harm is a serious problem that should not be laughed at or looked upon as wierd or crazy.

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION. Of course some are. But not all of them. Some preppy people look for attention too.
Emo clothing: Hot Topic

Emo bands: Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, blessthefall, The Word Alive

Emo

Emo is NOT a genre of music, or a grop of pissy fags. Emo is the way they dress, they act, and their perspctive on things.

the way they dress: usually choppy, long, "swooshy" hair. Either Black, bleach blonde or brunette. they have lip, ear, and nose peircings and where black eye make-up. the bangs cover the face and they wear a assortment of rubber band braclets from hot topic or spencers.

The way they act: known to be very romantic, sensitve, mysterious, and shy. But once you get close to one they open up to you and are always there fr you no matter what. so to all them bitchy preachers who think if we wear chains and such, that we are devil worshipers (which some are) fuck you. it's who we are. its what we want. If we gived a fuck what other people thought, we probably would try to fit in with them.
They call us clones, have they looked at themselves??? all kakie shorts and abercrombie bs clothesthat cost 50 dollars for clothing that rips when you put it on?? at least our clothes last.

we also really enjoy music. we love music. it gets us going and gives us this feeling in our chest that makes your heart beat fast and moves you.
Preppy kid: oh look, its the emo fag!
emo kid: oh look its the kid who has to go to parties and get drunk to actually be somebody
