emo

Ok, emo and punk are NOT alike at all. Goth and emo also not a like at all. Emo is just a new bullshit genre of music and new style that steals it's sounds and look from other things.

Emo is a style that has becoem popular, mainly teens pretending to be depressed for attention, dressing like tranvestites mixed with clothing from other styles and genres, make up sad stories also for attention, and some are dumb enough to go to self mutilation to fit in or get attention.
Emo cunt: My life is so depressing! My dog died! *tear*
Punk: *curbs* Stop fucking crying, my parents just kicked me out and my brother died of a heroin overdose and I'm not fucking complaining.

emo

A subgenre of hardcore music originating mainly from the D.C. hardcore punk scene in the late 1980s. The word is an abreviation of 'emocore'. Hardcore was mainly about politics and anger. Fugazi were the first emo band and their first album , '13 Songs', talked more about their emotions leading to the creation of the word.

Emo is now a word used by people with very small vocabularies for anybody bohemian/alternative (i.e. those who do not wear trackies or listen to rap music)
Emo bands include - Fugazi, Lifetime, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jets To Brazil, Jawbreaker, Texas is the Reason, Mineral.

Emo bands do NOT include - Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Lostprophets and more.

emo

Emo stands for Emotive Hardcore.

It's not the clothes, or the people. It's the music.
You can't dress 'emo' and become 'emo' You can't be a music style. And if your trying, stop now.

Emotive hardcore was first experimented after the punk era, with bands deciding to focus on a more emotional side.
Emotive hardcore, shows emotion, but so does alot of rap and classical music.

People who 'cut' aren't neccessarily 'emo'.
Imagine this.
We like to relate to things. To books, to life, to music.
So If you have emotional feelings, bad past experiences, you relate to songs that are about that (Emotive Hardcore), Thats why emos are called depressed, because alot of people see meaning in the lyrics and can relate. So 'emo's' aren't the happiest bunch. But logically, 'emo's' don't exist.
Emotive hardcore -> 'softer' music created following the punk era.

emo

the stupidest "culture" you'll ever come across.
it consists of trashy 12 and 13 year olds who hate their life because they think it looks cool. they often wear wristbands to cover up the "cuts" they've created on their wrists... with a butter knife. often found with headphones in their ears, playing distasteful music such as my chemical romance and cobra starship. heavy eyeliner. thick rimmed glasses. hot topic frequent buyer card. refer to the song "emo kid" by adam and andrew for further stereotypical description.
the world is really really over it's whole "emo faze." it's time to look up and start appreciating the life you were given.

emo

For the happier person, emo is nothing more than being:

E- exquisitely
M- magically
O- optimistic

Sounds the same, different meaning. A homonym! Heard of it? :)
Person #1: He keeps smiling ..why.
Person #2: Cause he's emo .. DUH!

emo

short for emotional
the opposite of being emo-less

-they were traumitized as a kid
-they cut themselves to feel pain, because they were sheltered all their life
-they blow things out of proportion, to see if anything will happen
-they are too poor to afford nice shiny clothes so they wear cheap black clothes
-they like things they can relate to, its very hard to come by
-like music with "emotion" in it, not shallow music or slow paced helpless music
-the solitude makes them deep
-poser emo's are idiots that need to get shot on sight
-someone who stops being emo has a greater understanding of critical depressing situations, after they stop being emo they either become normal-or very active, or become emo-less, that actually don't care about most people

posers are scene kids, goth kids, punk kids, but if you want to make someone emo you just have to traumitize them and make them feel like shit, so they don't lose it and kill everyone including you then commit suicide, idiots at virginia tech -.o

the younger they are the greater the success rate

methods of causing traumitization are... stuff...
lue: that emo is a poser! he likes run kid run! what a fucking fag

slywaker: and he has tattoos, makeup, piercings, 80 dollar clothes.. what the hell is wrong with this fool

lue: slay him!

(headstrong by trapt would be typical emo music, 80 dollars is a whole lots, goodwill for the win)

emo

A label coined by the media to define a new soft core punk rock tendency and its followers. Even when false, it is nowadays used to define a new teenage generation with dense emotional interface. Very soon they found themselves antagonized and unaccepted by many groups and creeds. A curious phenomenon given the fact that they are mostly concerned with their own matters and pose no threat to anyone else.

Much like the hippies in the sixties, who also suffered heavy discrimination despites their peaceful and non-violent tendency, emos have borrowed only more notoriety from the criticism and developed into a modern era phenomenon.
Josh: People in school are saying Peter is emo...
Gary: Thats so gay.
Josh: Tell me about it. Did you buy tickets for the next show of Monstertruck Madness?
Gary: Sure did. I never miss the chance to see fuel burning and metal grinding.
Josh: Now THATS something manly... poor Peter.
Gary: ... poor Peter.
