A lifestyle which seems to have been blown out of proportion. Goth is not emo. Emo is not goth. Emos have usually a dark outlook on life, and just because someone dresses in all black does NOT make them emo. People tend to judge emos unfairly.

Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.
::sniff sniff:: "The Demise of the Siberian Traintracks of Our Rusty Forgotten Unblemished Love" sounds like it would make a great emo band name. ::cry::

Emo is a common word used to describe a group of nice, friendly people adhering to these standards (typically):
-Long, usually straightened hair, flipped to one side of the face.
-Tight skinny jeans, usually black, grey, reds, or certain neon colors.
-Black horn rimmed glasses
-Band shirts, striped clothes, checkered patters, all black shirts, etc all can be common apparel for emo kids.
-Slip on Vans are a favorite for emo kids shoes. Typically any kind of skater shoe may be worn as well.
In conclusion, I myself have been called "emo" and im your typical emo kid. i have cut before and do wear skinny jeans etc. i feel just the same as any other emo kid. i get picked on, made fun of, and called names because of who i am. Deep down inside ALL emo people are really friendly people. You dont even need to look deep down inside. Haters just need to stop judging us for who we are. I love EVERY emo person on the face of the planet. We are all here for each other, us emo's. Emo ppl RULE!!

Emo kids are dark, sensitive, and scary looking people but beneath all that there is a person who has a heart and truly cares.

Emo is another type of people. There are jocks, preps, nerds, goths, ect. Emo fits right in there, where it belongs. Emo people are normally happy, but at times get let down. Emos are normally labelled by the kids at school. Bullies help with the labeling. When people get called names and get picked on, they seem sad. A lot of them find ways to avoid it, but some hangs on to it no matter how long ago it was. They hang on because nobody lets them forget.
Next thing you know a rumor or secret gets out about how these people that got bullied hates themselves, or "cut". This is how emos get their names.
Emo people don't all hate themselves, nor "cut". Some are just tired of the life style they live, and people around them. Some don't want to die, they just want to start all over, but they can't. Emo people aren't allways outcast. In fact, some are rather poular.
Take it from someone that has been called "Emo" a lot of times, even by my bestfriend. Emo people aren't what everyone assumes, we can be rather cool.

Bully: Your fat and ugly.
Emo: Okay...Thanks.
(Emo goes home and texts her friend)
Emo: I got called fat and ugly today.
Friend: Again?
Emo: Yep, and I'm getting tired of it.
Friend: Wow, that's nice.
Emo: Yeah.
Friend: Well bye.
Emo: Bye.
(Friend tells people at school emo wants her life to stop)
Bully: So, you want to die know.
Emo: Whatever.
Bully: You should go be "emo" in a hole and die in it.
(Emo goes home and cries)
