Emo

a person usualy between the age of 11 and 18 who wears tight jeans and brand hoodies

they are usualy from middle class white backgrounds and decide to become an emo because
A) they want to fit in (for some reason)
B) something very minor hapened in their life (like breaking up with some guy/girl) which they make a big deal of

C) they are confused

despite coming from semi privelaged backgrounds emo's usualy promote their life being shitty and hell and want to die

however as there is no real dramam in their lives they simply do this to get attention

The most hardcore Emo's are simply "pussy Goths"
"im an emo my life sucks kill me now WAAAAA"

"dude if you want to die it would contradict you being an emo cos then you would b happy"

"uh?"

"never mind, you baby"

"WAAAAA!"

Emo

Emo: a genre of music, usually applying to young teenagers that have long black hair, heavy eyeliner, black clothing, and like to express themselves. Emo people usually are the nicest people you will know once you break their shell, but that is only sometimes. This definition is not intended to be offensive to any Emo people.
The Emo band Pierce the Veil is often considered 'emo' music, such as Bring Me the Horizon, Falling in Reverse, Sleeping With Sirens, and All Time Low.

Emo

Emo was original short for emotional punk rock.

Emo culture and people

A actual emo describe themselves as shy, emotionally sensitive, but can be happy and fun to hang around just quiet and takes a while for us to warm up. we listens to rock, soft rock, emotional rock, screamo, and a mix of genres with songs based on hardships of life. some will cut but hide it from others, so they won't posted it on their Instagram or Snapchat because they don't care to draw attention and sympathy from other people. people don't understand not all emos will dress in mainly dark colors dye our hair and have it in our faces, have piercings and makeup all over our bodies. Some of us look quite normal just wear dull colors so we don't draw attention to ourselves but are more emotional then most people. if You look closely you may find some of us are your friends and just quiet and more or less socially awkward in conversations.

Fake emos

Fake emos edgy, puts a bad name on us, dress in black all the time does everything to look emo as possible, are looking for attention, will post on everything how much they hate their life and post everytime they cut can be straight up pricks to people even when they're just trying to help. they're emotional unstable not sensitive love to act out making big senses. so please if you are one of these people go to punk or goth or the other alternative cultures
Friend: hey, do u want to go on a walk or watch a few movies with me tonight?

Real emo: yeah that would be okay😌

Fake emo: I would rather be in the darkness of my own soul right now

Emo

A derogatory label for someone who is sad. I'm writing this to clear some things up about this label.
1) A person who listens to bands such as My Chemical Romance or Black Veil Brides is NOT "emo"
2) A person who is depressed is NOT "emo"
3) A person who dresses a certain way is NOT "emo".
4) Everybody who seems to make fun of people just for feeling how they feel, or liking what they like, or dressing how they dress, can fuck themselves. You don't see me going around making fun of you for listening to Lil' Wayne or wearing Nikes and playing basketball, now do you? The people you define as "Emo" have never done anything to you, and therefore you should stop shoving your head up your ass. Making fun of someone for self-harming or telling them to kill themselves is unacceptable and disgusting. Think about what kind of human that makes you.
5) If people call you emo, or you're suicidal, know that I'm always here to talk. They're not any better than you and you don't deserve the shit you get. Stay strong, and don't let them get to you. Don't be ashamed for liking a certain type of music or dressing a certain way. You be you, and don't let anyone bring you down for it.
Ignorant Person: omg!!! ur soooo emo!!! go kill urself u faggot lol lil wayne is so much better than black veil brides
Smart Person: Being "emo" doesn't define me or my life. I can listen to whatever music I want. I will respect you if you will respect me.

As sterotypical as Jocks, Goths, Punks, Gangsters, ect...just a bit more angsty. Seriously, who knew a definition could cause such an uproar??
This is way too Emo for my taste...
