Emo : Slang for Emotional, An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It is a prime determinant of the sense of subjective well-being and appears to play a central role in many human activities. As a result of this generality, the subject has been explored in many, if not all of the human sciences and art forms. There is much controversy concerning how emotions are defined and classified. Emo in our era today, cuts wrist, cries, listens to AFI.

A person who is truely depressed and usually cuts themselves. Not just their wrist; legs hands fingers cheast, anywhere. There can also be emos mixed with a goth; A person who hates themeselves, everone else, usually hurts themeslves anyway weather its cutting, scratching until you bleed, choking, burning, anyway really. A person who is truely ''fucked up'' and who wants to watch the world burn, and then light themselves on fire to burn with everyone else. Not an actor truely has problems.
