(negative connotation):A Robert Smith wanna-be, most of whom have probably never even heard of the Cure nor do most understand the meaning of his lyrics. Many often complain about how dark and depressing life is, living in the suburbs with mommy and daddy all the while. Also common to emo kids is a feigned interest in all things deep, dark and meaningful. Nor do most know that true emo originated in the 80's, although not by name, and NOT because it was considered to be cool.

An Emo Kid is a term used to identify not one, but many different styles of dress, music and life styles, so this will be a rather broad definition. But, to make it easier, I will give the definition of only three different kinds of Emo kids. I am emo so I know what I am talking about.
1) There is the "Hard Core" Emo, who listens to very heavy music, usually made by under ground bands, but could possibly be semi mainstream. Examples of Hardcore Emo music would be bands such as Bring Me the Horizon, Arch Enemy, Berzeker, and others like that. These kids who are Hardcore Emos, dress in typical black and white, but are now moving to color, wearing lumberjack plaid and darker colors. They almost always have long hair, which is brushed over just above the eyebrows, not in front of but over. This is the kind of Emo that are not noticed as much as the others because they are not vocal about being Emo, but in all actuality they are the most common form of "Emo".
2) Now we come to the more stereotypical Emo, the one that listens to mellow Indie music and cries a lot (even though they don’t, a lot of people think they do). These Emo's are Emo even though they don't wear all black; instead they wear light colored cloths like white button down shirts and pale green scarves. Unlike the other forms of Emo Kids, you will rarely see these kids in Hot Topic, they more like thrift stores, or GAP, or sometimes American Eagle and Hollister (I know, it's really surprising!) We, in the Emo Subculture, call these kids Indie Emo, or just Emo. They listen to slightly more known bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Gym Class Heroes, Snow Patrol, and Playradioplay!. (Note to editor, Playradioplay! is the actual band name so don't "correct" that particular grammar mistake) These Emos are actually pretty rare to find, but they start most of the Emo styles.
3) Now this kind of “Emo” makes the rest of us in the subculture pretty mad. Now I will tell you why: because they aren’t, but they are the most vocal about being Emo. They are the ones who listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, and all the other mainstream bands that real Emo Kids hate (Nothing against those bands if you happen to like them, but real Emo Kids just don’t like them). They are the kids who give Emos a bad name, with wrist slitting, crying a lot, and “Emo Kissing”. Real Emo’s call these kids, “Wanna-be Emo”, or if they are being nice, “Altern-Emo’s”. They are not real Emo’s. Most of these Kids are bi or homosexual in some form or another.
The point to all of this is that I got on here and, as an Emo, got annoyed by the people out side the Emo subculture trying to define an Emo. I kept seeing only the definition of the "Altern-Emo", so i thought i would put some light on this subject.
So now to a more broad definition that will completely remove “Altern-Emos” from the picture. Real Emos don’t listen to very much if any mainstream music, whether it be Death-core metal, or underground indie, it is usually not heard of by anyone other than the people in that subculture. They usually write a lot of poetry about love, life, friends, or the lack of all the above. Emo’s are very interested in art that has hidden meanings or dark symbolism imbedded in it, and most of the time only the artist knows what the symbolism is or what the hidden meaning of his/her picture or poetry is. They may or may not be involved with their family, depending on the person. Emos almost always have gone through trying Family or friend situations and while trying to deal with it turned to music and art, which usually leads them to being full fledged Emo.

a sad teenager who is caught up in the depressing parts of life and cannot deal with their problems; someone who listens to sad love songs and cries a lot and obsesses about love and the lack thereof; the look: to get the emo kid look, just dye your hair black or red or black AND red, make sure your hair covers one eye, wear wristbands to hide your cuts, and otherwise dress like the opposite sex.

n. Sad kids. They go to shows and stand around because they don't want their hair to get messed up. I mean they spent all that time getting it to do that flippy thing like that guy from that band. Any self respecting emo kids wears dark colors or band shirts. That's the only thing that's acceptable. That and the little pyramid belts.
Emo kids love to write poetry about heartbreak. They're sad and it's their mode of expression. Wah!
Tight pants and make-up are a must. Without them, no emo kid is complete.

To reject pop culture by doing something equally as mainstream and trendy. Makes sence hey? Apparently i am too wise to understand it. I am also loved by all women. At least i am in my neurological processes of recognition and interpretation of this life.
***AT THE NITECLUB***
Mike: Ladies, lets take a moment away from talking about how successful I am to contemplate what drugs one would need to abuse in order to blur their judgment enough to dress and act like that emo kid.
Group of ladies: Who is this guy that is leaning at the shooter bar and talking to us.
Girl #1: I don't know but he is talking about your emo boyfriend.
Girl #2: Lets kick his ass! He looks like he could get his ass kicked by a girl.
Girl #3: Why has he been trolling the shooter bar all night?
Girl #4: I don't know, he does that most nights, and he is usually here alone.
