emo

A word that people who have no idea what the hell they are talking about use to describe music that is different or they do not understand. Mostly used when the members of the band wear facepaint, black, or sing love songs, or perhaps any combination of the above.
As seen on YouTube comments for a Dimmu Borgir video:
randomguy: this shit is so emo! emo fags!

emo

emo is when a teenager is overly emotional or very sensitive. the majority of the definitions on this websites that have to do with emos are only making fun of them.one thing to know is that not ALL emos cut themselves. they are children approximately from ages 14 through 18, that are unstable with their own emotions and become depressed. they tend to cry alot, read alot of books, write poetry/ stories/ lyrics, & dress in a certain way. Emos usually have on almost all black or other dark colors. for example, navy,crimson,brown, and rarely neon.an emo always has a pair of converse/vans that looks like it has been worn for years. they can have lyrics written on then or drawings.their hair need sto be jet black and covering one eye & soemtimes spikey in the back.they wear mostly band t shirts or no name brands, mostly from Hottopic.extremely tight clothing is a MUST.

NOTE: many people think emos are bitter, retarded,etc. but actually ive met alot who has been very thoughtful ,sincere, and respectful. unfortunately, they get judged by stereotypes & the way they dress.
this is one type of stereotype :

john is prep & he is talking to alex, another prep.

john: wtf ?! look at that emo fag! he wears tight ass jeans & looks like a fucking girl!

Alex: i know right? dude, lets got beat him up!

emos take alot of shit from preps, goths, skaters, punks, etc.

emo

A fucked up bitch that just so happens to be less intelligent than a nerd, but is still socially outcast, and therefore will submerge him/herself in a lame subculture where everyone is a carbon copy of one another, then they appear to have serious emotional problems with their friends, family, school,work,cat,dog,parrot,detroit,their lampshade,a bus tire, wet fence wood, rubber products, toothpaste, real people, origionality, attemting to be mediocre at any musical instument, learning basic phrases, and drinking milk. they also appear to enjoy cutting themselves as punishment for them bitching about bitches. therefore, they accomplish nothing but looking like a jolly ol' fool. oh dam it seems as if they would stop there, but oh noes! it gets far worse, they see it fit to bring normal people, (like you, me, bob, and someone else in the construction biz.) by saying "gee, it sure is depressing round here" and then we say, mai boi!" this peace is what all true americans strive for." then they say,"I just wonder what my girlfriends up to." then we say,"Enough!" and see thats no good, because that lead nowhere and was a waste of time.but oh dear, wouldntcha know that they are up to their evil parlor tricks, like slashing parts of their fragile, pasty bodies with a razor blade. (enter the dramatic music, better yet, the sandman.) lo and behold, they have slit their wrists, now lets watch them proceed to write a pissy lil song about how the sweat builds up on their ass crack and it itches, u know what? im sick of your culture, its a no-no. fuck off noonie-heads.

emo

Emo (or emotional punk) is a subculture of mostly teenagers from white middle class suburbia, who claim that their life is hard and nobody understands them.

They wear mostly black but will often wear other stange items such as elmo backpacks (whilst crossing out the 'l'), or spiderman keychains. Emos often style their hair in rediculous fashions that can take hours to create.

Emo's constantly whinge and whine about how hard their life is and how everyone looks down on them but don't realise that they make their lives hard by acting this way and dressing like that makes people look down on them.

Emo's need to wake up to themselves and realise many people have it so-so-so-so-so-so much worse. I'm sure half of the Congo would give all 4 limbs to be in white middle class suburbia.

emo

A stupid word 12 years old enjoy calling each others in chat rooms or online games.

if you ever do any of these, prepare to be called emo:

-Wear anything black, even with only a little bit of black.
-Talk about anything that happened in your life.
-Have emotions.
-Listen to any kind of music (except rap or country, if you listen to this you are already a ''fag'')
-Do or say just about anything.

emo is the new lol.
You: Ok back, I wasn't feeling like cooking so I just called pizza.
