emo girl

an emo girl simply refers to a female who enjoys music labeled "emo".

emo girls, like emo boys, are intellectual music snobs, and are very particular about the music they listen to. emo kids usually prefer underground bands, and would never listen to anything on MTV. in fact, if a band that an emo kid listens to is heard on MTV, the emo kid will immediately discontinue listening to that band. emo kids are usually very bright and interested in philosophy.

since the term "emo" has hit the mainstream in approximately 2005, the style of clothing and music associated with "emo" is completely wrong compared to the true meaning of the term "emo". the 2005 mainstream style of emo is identical to the goth style of dress, and rock-pop-punk music. this new mainstream style is completely inaccurate, and should not be labeled as emo.

emo girls are NOT all-black wearing cutters. if a girl wears all black, is a cutter, and calls herself emo, she is mistaken, and probably a poser. it is more likey that she is goth, or a disturbed individual in need of professional help.

a real emo girl wears whatever she wants, and has a style that resembles punk. she probably shops at a thrift store, cuts and dyes her hair herself. and is opposed to any manufactured look.

Emo girls are 14-17 years old, but unfortunately its spreading to the younger generations (12,13). They wear skinny jeans, band tee's, studded belts, black and red, wrist bands, converse high tops and shop at hot topic and Spencers. They have medium length dyed, greasy hair with bangs that cover at least one of their eyes. they can be annoying, but are not all bad. They listen to bands like, blood on the dance floor, my chemical romance, green day, and even sometimes, Nirvana. They are usually attracted to emo or skater boys and some consider goths, scenes, and punk-rockers posers. Most are obsessed with anarchy, but have the wrong definition. They will all most always have a facebook or myspace where they upload angsty pics of themselves. Emos are not emos because they cut, which most of them don't.
"i just got the new evanescence Cd at hot topic, i'm going to go light some candles in my bathroom, listen to the cd, right angsty teen poems and cry. And when i'm done i'm going to post some angsty pics on myspace so all my angsty friends can see how emo i am." ~an emo girl

Emo Girl

An emo girl is a girl who likes to dress in emo fashion, has an emo(tional) personality and listens to emo music. (Such as Bright Eyes.) Emo girls like to hang out with other emo girls and emo boys. They are usually sad most of the time, do not smile very often, and just like emo boys, show no signs of self worth or self confidence whatsoever and will not make eye contact with you.

An emo girl has very dark hair, either cut somewhere around their shoulder, or in the classic emo haircut, which is sort of short and spiky in the back with long sweeping bangs in the front. Their hair has to be very dark brown or black, or in some cases very light blonde as long as the cut is right. No matter what, it must be worn so that it is covering part of their face at all times. This is because emo girls tend to be shy and mysterious and don’t really want their face to show too much. They usually wear a lot of dark eyeliner and tend to have washed out skin.

Most emo girls are vegetarians or vegans. Although some girls just dress in the emo style, most emo girls are sad; cry and write poetry a lot, and tend to cut their wrists. They usually hide this by wearing armbands or lots of happy colored bracelets.

Their clothing consists of tight jeans, converse and dark colored tight shirts. They also might have a scarf on. They may a few have pins from shows on their jeans. They usually have at least a few piercings and wear lots of happy colored jewelry. Some wear horn rimmed glasses, some do not. They really don’t like it if you confuse them with a goth. Emo and goth are very different so don’t make this mistake.

They are most likely to be seen at shows, looking completely sad and lost. Emo girls also love it when emo boys make out with each other (which they tend to do a lot).

Just like Emo boys, they usually walk with their head down not making eye contact with anyone. Although most Emo kids are very sad and feel like the world hates them, they tend to understand what other Emo kids are going through.
That girl over there in the corner with the dark hair, listening to Bright Eyes, and staring at the floor must be emo.

Emo girl

Who the hell wrote these definitions? Just cuz some girls like to dress a certain way and listen to a certain style of music, it doesn't instantly turn them into shallow/fake/attention-seeking. That's emo poser.

Anyhow, true emo girls are usually fun, amusing people ( though to others they may appear odd). Some are quiet and reserved too, but they are always intelligent or artistic, and they love japanese cartoons and cute hairclips/bows, so much that they buy loads no matter how much they need. Emo girls who smoke/drink/do drugs/self-harm are only doing it because they feel like it, and are probably a bit messed up at the time, because that DOES HAPPEN TO PEOPLE SOMETIMES. (In fact I think the reason they dress like that in the first place is because they're trying to express the way they've felt). They are very true to themselves and won't stop doing something just because it's 'uncool'.
(Pointing at tartan skinny jeans)

Emo girl: That. Is. Awesome.
Non-emo friend: Em, sure, whatever you say.
Emo girl: I want it.
Non-emo friend: You don't have enough money.
Emo girl: I want it.
Non-emo friend: I though you were saving up for a hamster?
Emo girl: =C *disappointed*
