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

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

Emo was a genre of music that developed out of the failing straight edge movement, especially in the DC area when bands such as Minor Threat and Bad Brains began to lose popularity.
These bands decided to take the energy of punk rock but without the anger, creating emo. Bands include: rites of spring, indian summer, some fugazi, ect. During emos height (84-87), it was generally very emotional, fast, and powerful music. Eventually, it became influenced by pop (much like punk) and is what it is today. It has also become a term to describe someone who is depressed and overly emotional, generally for attention.
I was wondering how Rites of Spring and My Chemical Romance are both labeled Emo and are completely different.

Emo girl

The thing you get called by at school because you are either shy, dark, wear dark clothes, You are weird, or something else. Or they just call you fucking depressed, or gay, or the weird kid, or they don’t even realize you are there.

There is honestly no point to it.
Even if you are emo, why the fuck do they care?
It doesn’t even fucking bother me, like “Oh no, I’m so offended that you are calling me emo.” Like no bitch, nothing is even wrong with being emo, alt, punk, goth, etc.
Kids on the bus: “Your a emo girl”
Me: “okay??”
Me: “you’re fucking unfunny. And I am not offended. And why the fuck do you care? Really that bored?”
Kids: “well you’re gay!”
Me: “Okay? Did you just find that out? Sweetheart you’re just stating the obvious, basically everyone knows.”
Kids: “…”
Me: “ :) “
