Emo

A misunderstood person with a different personality then others, and is often made fun of for being emotional and for some, self harm.

Some are rather nice and are an emo because of their sexuality, some are emo because they like different music and like different clothing and just get called emo, and others are just people who think emo's are cool and will try to mimic them.
Look that emo has a pierce the veil shirt!!

Emo

Emo comes from the word emotional.

You can see how it fits in. An emo is a person with emotional problems. They may choose to wear black but that’s most stereotyped emos.

Emo- genre of music. Music that can be metal or has deeper and darker meaning to what it would be. Emo bands: My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Twenty Øne Piløts, LINKIN PARK ect
“ that girl is an emo. She listens to mcr and always has a different mood”

“My Favourite emo music comes from My Chemical Romance mostly”

Emo

A social trend of the early to mid 2000s. Characterized by angsty teenagers, mainly from middle class suburban families, dressing in tight pants (often girl jeans), studded belts, black band t-shirts, and heavy use of eye liner with dark straightened hair with crispy bangs meant to cover one eye.

Music tastes tend to be a form of rock characterized by whiny depressed lyrics about some deep seeded emotional issue.

The Emo trend gave rise to toxic social media where dealing with insecurity meant creating an embellished internet personality to appeal to the masses rather than actually learning to love and accept yourself for who you really are.

The Emo era ended sometime in the late 2000s when Myspace began giving way to Facebook. The fashion and music tastes died out but the general attitude of "depression is cool" remained to this day.
Look at that emo kid. He's cuter on Myspace than in person.
