I see how many of you judge 'emos', and I'm sick of it. I mean, yes, some of them are just attention thirsty teenagers, but some are not.
"Emos" are people who would rather feel physical pain rather than emotional pain. I know it sounds stupid, but as a teenager, we all grow up differently and feel things in so many different ways. To one person, fumbling over a sentence for a moment is nothing, but to another...it could be something they think about all day, full of regret. I agree, that that is overly sensitive, but it's just they way some people are. There is no reason to hate on them.
Just let people be who they are and don't stereotype.

1. Despite what many people may think, emo is a genre of music
2. It can also be a synonym for scene kids
3. But most people refer to it as those goth kids who cut themselves, when really thats a pretty good name for them (no offense to you "emo" people)
4. Short for emotional

1) Not quite goth, not quite gay. A whining sorry excuse for a human being.
2) Some form of amphibian excrement you step on near a body of water.

The term "Emo" is used as counterculture; it is an abreviation of the word "emotional". Emo it's defining not only an attitude, but also a fashion that are coming from emocore (emo music). Emocore is a combination between hardcore and punk music which was very popular in Washington DC in the late 80's. The emo culture continued to develop between '90 and '00, reaching the height of its popularity today.

A style defined by people who listen to mellowed-out punk rock. Usually seen with striped arm warmers and oversized band tees, but sometimes blend in and wear ‘normal’ clothing.
Person A: I keep getting bullied for being emo
Person B: Imagine bullying someone for a style of music they like
