emo-short for emotional, often expressed through sadness, a distinct style of clothing and often veganism or vegetarianism.
The
popular idea that all emos are anorexic, sweater wearing, wrist cutting fags with tight
pants is just another stereotype in a very stereotyped world. Is like saying that all Italians are
fat chefs that make pizza, and while that is true for a small percent of people it is not the case. emo is just short for emotional, a type of
music, and can mean many things and can be expressed in many ways by wearing many types of clothing and other actions.
