Emo kid

"Emo" is shortened form of "Emotical Hardcore" which may refer to either the way of dressing or the music genre.

"Emo kids" are correctly kids who choose to style themselves in a certain way (often with bangs hanging above one or both of the eyes) or listen to certain music (such as Sleeping With Sirens).

"Emo" or "Emo kid" may today also incorrectly refer to people who self harm (most likely cut) or complain about how there life situation sucks to get attention on social media

Correct example: "I love the hairstyle of these Emo kids!"

Incorrect example: "Have you seen his arms? I'm sure he is seeking attention, he is such an Emo"

emo brony

Anyone that listens to the emo trinity (The Father, Fall Out Boy, the Son, Panic! At the Disco, and the Holy Spirit, My Chemical Romance) that hates their parents and likes the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. They're usually a pretty hardcore emo and more often than not have undiagnosed clinical depression.

Hey, look at that kid with the My Little Pony shirt and the headphones! Probably an emo brony.

emo kid

an emo kid is a boy/girl who is deeply in touch with their feelings and is not affraid to show them, we often wear dark clothes, tight jeans and small shirts, studded belts and wrist bands. We are not gays or fags just because we are emo, we do whatever the hell we want and dont give a shit, often we will have alot of peircings ad chill in isolated areas, away from the norm (average preppy people) we love emotional music and we are not affraid to cry, we will have long dark hair that often covers atleast one eye we see this world as a beautiful place. We are often obbsesed with love and hearts, because we dislike hate <3

Hey, look at that emo kid sitting by himself, he's probably gonna start crying...

Emo Gatekeeper

Someone who doesn't consider the nuances of emo music as a genre, and always try to shut down the conversation about what bands are considered part of the genre or not. They always refer bands like American Football, The Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids, and other midwest emo bands as "true emo", and anything mainstream like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Paramore as "fake emo".

They also like using the excuse "Gerard Way hates MCR being called emo" and completely ignoring that Rites of Spring and Jawbreaker also hated being called emo, but they proceed to insist their emo title anyways. It's the same thing that happened with Grunge and Nu Metal before where people used the excuse that bands hated labels, thus they aren't part of it.

Their primary source for this information comes from isthisbandemo.com which 1. Is an extremely contradictory website (stating bands like Senses Fail and Pierce the Veil aren't emo, but bands similar to them like Silverstein and Coheed and Cambria are) 2. They change emo rulings all the time (they used to consider The Used emo, but not anymore, or when they used to not consider Paramore emo, but now they do, etc.) and 3. The website owner came out and said that it shouldn't even be taken seriously back in 2019.

Obviously, there are some bands that aren't emo that people can clear the waters about like Panic! at the Disco or Twenty One Pilots, but to gatekeep what is "real and fake emo" is ridiculous.

Emo Gatekeeper Copypasta: "Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene...

Emo monkey

An emo kid that makes it their responsibility to make everyone around them emo and if you encounter one you should call the government because they are a biohazard

Emo monkey: you are all poppy’s because you’re not emo. Average American: honey, get the shotgun.

Emo fuck

stupid, ignorant, whiney wastes of human life. they sit in their corner with their friends, cutting their wrists and listening to fall out boy. emo fucks are mostly identified with their gay, shitty, and musically inept bands (such as hawthorne heights, senses fail, and underoath.) these emo creatures should all be drug out into the streets and shot simultaneously.

"My mom and dad hate me! Everyone hates me!"

In reality, this emo fuck is an only child and very popular at school, therefor getting excessive amounts of attention.

emo kid

The dirty lovechildren of underground rock kids, the scene and the dying goth movement. In other words, once middle class kids raped the grunge scene, the alternative scene, and when prep was too mainstream, they had to find something else. Luckily enough, lots of bands were crappily re-doing the sixties. From this and the remnants of the goth era, ( and some actually GOOD musical inflences thrown in ), this birthed the degenerate group of whiners we all come and know as emo kids. Now, they were helped a little. High-and-mighty scene kids were their idols and Hot Topic their vehicle to awesome. Sadly, they'll never make it. And noone wants to be scene anyway. Most of those kids are in the ana community on livejournal and snort blow while listening to the YeahYeahYeahs. Anyhow, did I mention that emo kids also rise up and overtake evil establishments like Myspace and the mall, making them more evil. They also slit their wrists on a regular basis, cry to AFI songs and try to be cool by playing oldschool Nintendo. (Even though most of them weren't alive in the 80's.) They also frequent sites on the internet that make fun of them, trying to refute the obvious with bad typing, bad grammar, and overall weak arguments. However, they aren't as full of crap as furries. Noone is below a furry. Except perhaps a lolicon.

Common emo kid quotes:

" I just bought the new My Chemical Romance CD with my mom's credit card. Then I cried all night because she doesn't understand how deeply Gerard Way speaks to the world. "

" Yeah, I hate Bush because he eats and rapes babies...at least Hot Topic told me so. "

" God, life just makes me want to die. "
