a HORRIBLE label for a group of people with a sense of style that is obviously too much for society to take without saying mean things, are generally sad and may or may not cut themselves.
Some things to know about emo kids:
-they typically do not go about declaring themselves as "emo," people who do that are what you would consider "posers." (posers suck.)
-they DO NOT ALWAYS CUT THEMSELVES!!!!! plenty of people of all ages cut themselves, emos are just most stereotyped for it.
-they are usually very nice people, and good friends to have because they do care about what you have to say. they're awesome listeners.
-they are very open and accepting of people outside their own "social cliques" exempting preps/ghetto-ass wannabe gangster trash kids. they are also some of the least homophobic heterosexual people i have ever met.
-they can be drama queens sometimes, but unfortunately, they usually do have some major life issues that go on at home that the rest of the world doesn't see, making them seem more whiny and pointlessly depressed than they actually are.
-they are more often than not very intelligent and intellectual, and are more concerned about deep matters than other people.
-they typically have darkly colored, straight hair that covers one side of the face, sometimes wear eyeliner, skinny jeans, tight novelty or emo/indie band tees, scarves, wristbands and vividly colored bracelets, and usually just wear as much black, grey and other dark neutral colors as possible.
-many emo kids have the tendency to obsess over gir from invader zim. i don't know why or how it started, but it did. i think it's kind of like an emo fad or something. (i don't blame them however, gir is pretty damn rad.)

(adjective) attention seeking pseudo-depressive individuals (usually middle-class teenage boys) who cry about how they can't get laid, and hate their parents. Usually self-indulgent losers who mistake artless public descriptions of their "emotional depth" and "suffering" for genuine sophistication. If they really are that miserable, they could try listening to The Smiths. At least they were witty.

well i never thought i would be here writing a definiton about emo but i have heard (and read) a lot of shit about emos.i myself am emo so please feel free to call me a fag i dont really care i have more important things to do than worry about what you ppl think. So to claer things up,
emo: does not mean being gay or bi wearing black and cutting oneself listening to dashboard confessional or taking back sunday.being emo isnt being depressed or angry all the time like some of these deffinitions have led you to belive.
now,the true emo: is over emo-tional so yes emos can be happy sad angry or surprised and have feelings just like any other human being.they listen to rock bands,and sometimes goth bands in other words very loud music and they also listen to sad songs. emos usually find themselves to befriend other emos goths punks or skaters and some preps and ghetto kids.they r very creative and usually quiet (unless happy then the get a little loud) they mostly dont care what ppl think about them but when teased or bothered they will remain calm and silent.they mostly dress in dark cloths but also wear colorful cloths too.emos r very nice and r usually good students and get good grades. i cant say all emos dont cut but the ones who do mostly have a good reason to.

A term teens give to themselves when they feel that life has become pointless. What they don't realize is that when they say "No one understands me" there are hundreds of normal people that don't like life as much as the "emo" people do, and they just deal with it. Emo people are just hungry for attention, and they believe that this attention will get them somewhere. The irony is, you'd think that given how much they hate life, you never see an emo person actually kill themselves and get rid of it, rather, they continue posing and getting all the attention they can.
Normal person: What's with you?
Emo Person: My life is closing in, and I'm unloved and no one understands the pain I go through.
Normal Person: Um, sorry but Everyone goes through life, you're no different.
Emo Person: You don't understand. You've never hurt yourself to get to the next day.
Normal person: Uh, if it sucks that much, why do you look forword to tommorrow to bring pain and suffering instead of killing yourself and ending the pain alltogether?
Emo Person: ...*silence*...
Normal person: Poser...

describes a kind of music that has miraculously branched into a subculture of people. an 'emo' kid has a lot of product in their hair, bracelets, jeans that are far too tight, a studded belt and an xs t-shirt featuring a band with a lot of eyeliner. they cut themselves and write bad lyrics with the blood. these people are so horrible, they get broken up with on a daily basis. fortunately this fuels their entire paradigm.
an 'emo' kid has long bangs.
this is to shield them from a cruel judgmental world that will never understand.

Emo isn't about the look at all, it's started to be now but many are just posers, emo is an old music genre-an offshot of punk/post hardcore. But since some lazy reviewers have started calling pop-rock emo it's got worse.
Self expression features heavily and is a good thing to do esp. through art, poems and songs. The "Self-harm" can be for various reasons; a common one is distraction from emotional pain because for all physical pain emotionally it can be so much worse. Others, due to a fragile state of mind need to be reminded that the're still alive in a droning and all-to-painful world.
But if you really think it's about fashion (well the streo-typed fashion); i'm a guy with long blonde *curly* hair, not emo, i wear whatever i feel like and never vans etc., not emo, i hate streo-typed emo music,not emo.
So yeah, after all that i'm known as an emo, i don't label myself as due to stereo-types i am many things-none of which are emo.
