Emo

There are two types of emos. One considers itself genuine and the other a poser. They are virtually indistinguishable and both are equally tiresome to anyone who has managed to mature past using "rawr" and making claw hands.
So and so dresses like me and likes the same music, but they're not a real emo. They just saw it on tv and thought it was cool.

Emo Hijack

An emotional hijack that takes over your body and puts you into a sad mood.
I woke up feeling totally emo hijacked this morning. I ended up listening to Bright Eyes all day and crying.

Emo-lectual

A person who is defined by their outer appearance and inner knowledge.

Emo-lectual is a person that is usually seen with tight pants, an appearance that is a cross between grunge punk and emo. Usually seen with face tattoos.

Can be described as a tall man with a dapper appearance. A legendary unicorn with a very unique personality indeed. Usually spotted with or without glasses.

This man will casually throw big words because he has a vast vocabulary. These types of individuals will look smart even when not speaking.

Emo-lectual females can have similar traits such as big vocabularies but are usually shy. They can be seen with or without glasses. They appear to be demure but will challenge you in a friendly debate any time of the week.
"Look at that hot guy with glasses and tattoos he looks smart and talks well too he's a real emo-lectual." 💘
