Emo

Unlike what most people think, emo has multiple definitions.
1. Emo is a type of goth, like Victorian/Romantic, Classic, and Rivet Heads. They're just goths with a different view point and taste in fashion.
2. Emo can be a putdown to goths.
3. They can be regualr people that want to be goths. Goth-posers, if you will. These are the ones people normally talk about when they're insulting emos in general.
1. Hmm, I'm depressed and goth, and I like my bangs cut slanted. YAY EMO.
2. *to goth* "You emo pussy!"
3. Preppy rich kid: "I wanna look moody and sensitive."
2nd rich kid: "Yeah, chicks dig sensitive."

emo dance

Emo "dance" is usually called "skanking", or throwing it down - "throwdown". It's made up of throwing your arms and legs in random directions with a lot of swerving motions. There are some actual moves aswell. This is just very general.
Usually seen at concerts.

One of the basic moves is to throw one leg where the other one is as you remove the other one. So then theres a replacing. and its repeated.

ex. Left leg replaces the right as it swings over, then the right leg swings over to where the left leg was.

That would be a type of "emo dance"

emo kids

I'm an emo kid, nonconforming as can be, you could be nonconforming too if you looked just like me. I have paint on my nails and makeup on my face. I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs. 'Cause I feel real deep when I'm dressing in drag, I call it freedom of expression, most just call me a fag! Because the dudes look like chicks, the chicks look like dykes, 'cause emo is one step below transvestite. Stop my breathing and slit my throat, I must be emo, I don't jump around when I go to shows . . .

Emo Punk

An absolute oxymoron as "emo" is a false music genre created from drab bits of other music subcultures into a completely unoriginal music/fashion statement, whose adherents pride themselves on contrived self-loathing, exaggerated negative emotion in general, and looking like other emos, while "punk" is a distinct musical subculture that is an angry and creative rejection of "normal" society and "fad culture" in general. Emo fools also disregard the fact that all music is emotional, and instead delude themselves into believeing that only negative emotions are important.

Many emos attempt to make a direct connection between punk rock and the flacid emo trend. While "emotional hardcore" punk rock did exist in the early 1980s, the word "emotional" is a term that refered to the entire emotional spectrum and has nothing to do with today's unoriginal, cookie-cutter, fashion/musical trend.

Saying someone is an emo punk is like saying an animal is a monkey-fish.
That guy thinks he is an emo punk, but he is just a self-deluded trend-follower with an emotenuce haircut, little-girl's pants, and an Exploited T-shirt.
