emo

In my personal experiance, most "emo kids" either a) have a genuine reason to be depressed, b) like the clothing style, or c) like the music... they aren't just the whiney bitches you all make them out to be. Sure, there are the few whiney ones here and there, but face it, there are whiney people everywhere. also, for the record most emo kids I know arn't the snobby rich kids that cry over the little BS and only one person I know cuts herself, and god forbid someone come to the conclusion she has a mental disorder... I'm not an emo kid, I make no claim to be, infact I like baggy clothes and like my hair short. And stop dissing the music! it doesn't suck. well some of it does, but most of it doesn't. Look, I wouldn't give it five stars, but it sucks less then lotsa stuff I've heard on the local hip hop station, and I do infact like hiphop-just not all of it, some of it does suck. just don't go there with the hater crap... it's getting old, just "shut up and smile"-Bowling for Soup
(assholes) your not just like me, infact your like someone else,so your gay, and you have emotions and thats gay too! , you emo fag!

emo

A group of fucking people that want other people to feel bad for them. Go ahead and wear black become an outsider to society. If you want to be that person that everyone stares at go ahead. No one feels sorry for you for cutting your damn wrist. Get over your life. Life is not meant for sadness or black. It's meant to be happy.
She is so emo. No one feels sorry for her

emo

an attention seeking subculture.
they lie about their whole life and say their sensitive and all this whole load of crap, only so people can fall for them and so they can gain attention.
they also claim that their life sucks, HOWEVER, half of them spend most of their time on myspace and all this other shit; hey dumbass, as far as we know, your life isn't that bad, cos you have the internet and all this shit so stop fucking complaining.

they label themselves though still get pissed off when we label them. RIGHT, you already said you were emo, so why can't we say that you're emo too, since you said you were?!
gosh, idiots.
everyone hates emos because:
-why bother being their friends if they'll probably kill themselves anyway.
-most of them lie about their whole life and speak a whole lot of bullshit.
-they just always want to be the centre of attention.
-they're embarassing cunts.

emo

Emo began as a music style in the '90's, and has become associated with bands like My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy etc. It became a style that mostly (NOT ALWAYS) focuses on the vintage-look (retro brand names etc). Being emo myself, you're all gonna think 'OMG IT'S AN EMO, SHE'S, LIKE, GONNA BE, LIKE, OMGWTFBBQ MY LIFE SUCKS EMO'S RULE THEY'RE SO HARDCORE OMG LMAO' or something like that. (I'm not taking the mick out of anyone, I swear. Sorry if I offended someone.) I'm not depressed all the time, I'm not always writing dark poems about life, and I'm not anorexically skinny (I laugh about that).

Why is emo associated with self-harm? Just because some people decided that any depressing self-destruction music MUST be emo?

Emos are usually, as far as I know, into the retro emo bands that began the emo craze, and the more modern bands like Panic! @ The Disco etc. The most common feature of emo is the hair with a side-parting. The bangs are NOT always covering one eye, NOT always dark, NOT always straight, NOT always shaggy for boys and NOT always short for girls.

The thing I've noticed that made me laugh about people's descriptions for emo boys was that they all wear trousers fitted for girls. WHAT A CROCK. I've never seen an emo boy dressed in trousers that are fit for girls. It would look a bit dumb, I mean, with the hips and all. So what if the trousers might be tight? It doesn't mean they're for girls! SERIOUSLY STRANGE. But if there is an emo boy who wears girls trousers, SORRY.

Another big thing for emo is the gloves/bracelettes and scraves. NOT everyone wears them but it's pretty common, from what I've seen.

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. This is my opinion and it's not always right! Emo is a fashion sense that may have stereotypes but not all emos follow them. Who can tell me they know EXACTLY what the emo fashion is? Anyone? I don't think even emos can really tell me.
Him: Everyone says I'm not emo because my hair isn't cut across and isn't dark

Her: Stereotypes are fun, lets point and laugh

*Him and Her both point and laugh at the steroetypes dancing on the ceiling*

emo

Reject of the Goth subgroup, although you won't be able to get a Goth to admit that these idiots were once Goth. Tend to have ridiculous hair-do's consisting of a random color mixed with black hair dye, tend to grow their hair over their eyes, usually wear extremely tight pants that if a non-emo wore would destroy a non-emo's genitalia, and Emo's tend to wear a shitload of make-up, completing the image of an Emo.

Often times the Emo will adopt the "woe is me" attitude, complaining that their life sucks and that they cannot get a girlfriend/boyfriend, which is funny because if you go to Youtube and look up Emo videos, you'll likely find said whiny bitch making out with five of their same sex friends. As well, they tend to exhibit a ton of butthurt over being ostracized for being Emo, not understanding that looking like a fag or a dyke is asking to be made fun of or beaten up. They also tend to run their mouth to other cultural subgroups in a vain attempt to look cool or tough, which instead leads to said Emo either running home, crying and writing bad poetry because their "victim" hurt their feelings, or leads to the Emo's hospitalization at the hands of the non-emo.

Emo's tend to write very bad poetry and waste the internet's bandwidth complaining about all their insignificant problems. Should conflict with the other subgroups arise, emo's will tend to gather in groups and attempt to intimidate the person(s) they started shit with. Seeing as Emo's are as intimidating as a care bear on morphine, this act is utterly futile. In the rare event that the Emo actually has non-Emo friends, this form of intimidation may have some effect on the person(s) in question. However, this is just goes to show that Emo's are too cowardly to fight their own battles. If one actually does have the courage to fight their own battle, they tend to lose very badly and in an embarrassing fashion, especially if fighting a Mexican.

Guys should be wary however, that due to the collective attitudes that all Emo's exhibit and the biological uncertainty of an Emo, that beating the shit out of one could land you in jail,due to the fact that you wailed on a woman who you thought was a dude.
I hate Emo's. I had no problems with them until high school when one tried to intimidate my friend who cried out "emo" when he walked by. she's rather odd and is lacking in height. I tried to explain that she's odd and that i told her not to start anything when he came back, but said Emo started to talk shit to me. I calmly pointed out that his sister's pants were tight enough to cause a rash or jock itch, causing the emo faggot to wander off, ironically calling me a fag.

Two days later, said Emo came back with ten of his friends (who were non-emo, oddly enough) and tried to start a fight with me. Rather than backing down, i did what any one should do: call the fucker out on his wish to kick my ass. This went on for 20 minutes until a teacher broke up the altercation. Said Emo did not fight me, and mouthed off all the way to the office. Seriously, fucking Emo's piss me off.
