Emo

Emo is a genre of post-hardcore and alternative rock with more melancholy arrangements and more emotionally driven themes. The name of the genre is a shortening of Emocore which itself is a shortening of Emotional Hardcore. The genre is also known for its expansive subculture, which is associated black clothing, long dyed hair, black eyeliner, bangs, and white makeup.
Emo is often mistakenly conflated with Gothic Rock, Pop Punk, Melodic Hardcore, Alternative Metal, and Shoegaze.

Emo

Kids who don't live in a third world country, yet they find every excuse to be depressed.
These inferior species of kids are regally white and lack intelligence.

Emo

a rare species amidst a world of gangstas (aha, jk); emo- its a crappy stereotype and another way to call someone a cutter. the stereotype= sad depressed 'scene'(another stereotype) styled person who cries all the time and hates life and cuts/burns/whatever form of self inflicted abuse themselves. --> basically somebodies ignorant butt left their imagination stray while thinking of 'scene kids' and added a twist. (twist being that emo kids hurt themselves)
saying, "i hate my life, nobody loves me, i'm all alone in this world. diary and ipod, you're my best friends." is something that would get you carted into the stereotype of emo.

i have seen that most people have a low opinion of emos
which is unfair,how many of those people know any?

i have no opinion of them,so thiswill be fairer,
most of them are kids about 14-19 who are sad,they feel life is kind of cruel (which it can be) and then find something amazing, music

they will listen to it compulsively and the songs will explain how exactly they feel.

i dont believe the music genre "emo" exists
but some types of music make links to different groups of people MCR ARE NOT EMO
THEY ARE ROCKY/PUNKY
alright?

there clothing style is different but i like it

Emo
