emo

A term once used to refer to a certain style of music in the late 90s, then to a teenage stereotype in the early 2000s, nowadays used to make insecure people defensive (hence the many definitions trying to dissuade people from its common usage). For the teenage stereotype, "emo" connotates angst and nihilism; a fetishization of life's unfairness or meaninglessness; Reddit atheism without a god to denounce. This may be accompanied by attitudes and appearances reflecting a teenager's expected capacity for such extreme ideas.

Hamlet and Shadow the Hedgehog have one thing in common; they're both emo kids.

emo

Being an emo is not being individual. Emos are fashion sheep, as simple as that. Be yourself, don't let a label define you.

Emo music came from the DC scene in the 80's. It's definition has changed over the years with bands like Weezer and the Strokes.

Emo

Something that has become so made fun of, with people that scrape their arms on tree branches and are consequentially called "emo," that those who are in serious, self-harming trouble are passed off as simply "emo" instead of majorly or manically depressed.
