There are loads of definitions for Emo,
And everyone has a different opinion of it.
Emo is a form and style of
music, generally bands such as My Chemical Romance, Fugazi, and such.
But this is no reason to say that the emo stereotype doesn'
t exist.
Because if it didn't exist, we wouldn't have the emo kids.
Generally, when Emo comes to mind,
people think of band logo t-shirts,
tight skinny jeans, and assymetrical black hair.
But emo is not about the look, nor the style. It's a lifestyle and way of thinking.
Not depression. Not suicidal.
You have many
people classified as preps and jocks and other labels that can be depressed and have suicidal thoughts.
Many of the emo friends I have are cheery and artistic.
And, oh get this, their emotions are quite in
check.
Emo 1: S'time to go to the concert. Moshpit!!
Emo 2: Fuck yeah! *grabs tickets*
Emo Kid: *jumps up and down*
Normal Kid: What are you doing??
Emo Kid: I'm celebrating the anniversary of my rubber
duck's birth.
Normal Kid: Wtf?
Emo Kid: *mocks an emo
poser* You.. don't understand! *laughs*
