An Emo Bangs Kid is those kids who cut their hair short and get bangs but always push their bangs off to the side/part them so they don't look like they have bangs and then once their 'bangs' have grown out to be like around the length of the rest of their hair they push their bangs to their face so you can't see their eyes.
Usually Emo Bangs Kids will wear like the black doctor face mask so you can't even tell who they are and to be honest most Emo Bangs Kids don't look as bad/cringey as you expect them to- although then there's /those/ Emo Kids.....
The Cringey 'Emo' Fake Depressed Kids are a TOTALLY different thing than the Emo Bangs Kids
Emo Bangs Kids are pretty chill(From my experience)
I rate them a solid 96/10

*Emo can be considered a noun, verb or adjective.
1) A person that can usually be identified by loads of dark clothing, side-swept bangs that often cover an eye (or both), Chuck Taylor sneakers that may be written on with sharpies, and often times dark eyeliner and facial piercings for both genders. Can also refer to someone that is depressed or has resentment to society, or even inflicts harm upon themselves.
2) A load of bullshit.
3) Simply a name given to music (that is generally angst-y and may contain screaming and crying) so that it may be sorted.
4) To act in such a way that is appalling due to its depressing nature.
((Or even a mixture of any of the above))
