It's a word that recently seems to have lost all meaning. It is not music. It is not a style of how people dress. It is not people who cut themselves. It is not a watered down style of goth. It is a almost meaningless word like nice. It is a word that was poked, prodded, overused and left to rot.

It does not mean to cut your wrists or wear skinny jeans or have side bangs. To cut your wrists means your depressed, to wear skinny jeans is along the lines of clothing and fashion, and having side bangs is about hair. Being Emo, is not possible because Emo is a music genre, meaning "Emotive Hardcore" and last that I have heard, people can not be a music genre

The sub-culture taking suicide by storm. Teenagers may find themselves interested in the music ie. Aiden, My Chemical Romance, The Used but that doesn't inicaite them into this "emo" culture. Black jeans, black hair and side finges have been previously worn by non "emo's" so therefore they have nothing to do with being emo. Example, the band The (International) Noise Conspiracy. Cutting yourself is not compuslry if you wish to be an "emo".
Kid 1: I havn't heard of that band... are they emo?
Kid 2: No... actualy their not. More Punk/Alternative if you ask me.
Kid1: But the lead singer has black hair?
Kid2: And...?
Kid1: Only Emo's have black hair.
Kid2: So I'm guessing your mum's emo then.
Kid 2: No... actualy their not. More Punk/Alternative if you ask me.

stupid kids that are so synical and blind to the world's greatness that theyve never listened to the band primus and learned what true music is. I purposely set aside 5 minutes each day to bother emos because of this reason. if everyone would just listen to primus the world would be awesome.. and I'd have 5 minutes more each day.
steers and queers, steers and queers, where I come from there's steers and queers and you aint got no horns, boy..

1) A derogatory term for any demographic of people with attitudes, beliefs and taste in clothes and music that the speaker thinks he understands better than they do.
Use of the term 'Emo' will almost always preceed a lecture about 'Emo's in a way that grossly underestimates the number of demographics that there are.
It is incorrect to use the term for any demographic that the speaker already has a name for.
2) Any young person who dies their hair an unnatural colour
3) Any young male with a Lisa Stansfield hairstyle. One of only two demographics to call themselves 'Emo's but they have, fortunately, been mostly killed now.
4) 'Emotive hardcore' music or a fan thereof
5) Over the top whinging in any work of art.
6) A name now adopted by a variety of people that couldn't come up with a better name for themselves than 'Alternatives' in the late 1990s. Frequently accused of conformist hypocrisy, most consciously intend to conform to their peer group and have never pretended otherwise. The only consistent characteristic of such an emo is that they dislike sportswear. Some look good but most have no idea

1) "Are you an emo or a goth?"
"Eh? I'm wearing a Metallica T-shirt"
2) Nah you can't get in the cafeteria; there are bloody emos sat all over the floor
3) Kill that fuckin' emo faggot
4) I like 'emo' actually, yeah, but it's like, not what you think... (Interrupted by snoring)
5) No mate Evanescence do not rock they are whinging emo bollocks even goths wouldn't listen to
6) Please don't call yourSELF an Emo for Christ's sake. I'm getting called it because I hang around with you.

Fucked up loser who has no real problems so has to make-believe.
May i say MY Chemical Romance are not emo..
Gerard Way was quoted;
“I think emo’s a pile of shit,” said Way. “I think emo is fucking garbage – it’s bullshit.
