Emo

*Emo can be considered a noun, verb or adjective.

1) A person that can usually be identified by loads of dark clothing, side-swept bangs that often cover an eye (or both), Chuck Taylor sneakers that may be written on with sharpies, and often times dark eyeliner and facial piercings for both genders. Can also refer to someone that is depressed or has resentment to society, or even inflicts harm upon themselves.

2) A load of bullshit.

3) Simply a name given to music (that is generally angst-y and may contain screaming and crying) so that it may be sorted.

4) To act in such a way that is appalling due to its depressing nature.

((Or even a mixture of any of the above))
"That girl looked so emo! She was wearing a lot of black, and her eyes were hidden behind loads of eyeliner."

"Emo is bullshit!"

"**Insert band name here** is an emo band."

"Don't be so emo."

Emo Bangs Kid

An Emo Bangs Kid is those kids who cut their hair short and get bangs but always push their bangs off to the side/part them so they don't look like they have bangs and then once their 'bangs' have grown out to be like around the length of the rest of their hair they push their bangs to their face so you can't see their eyes.

Usually Emo Bangs Kids will wear like the black doctor face mask so you can't even tell who they are and to be honest most Emo Bangs Kids don't look as bad/cringey as you expect them to- although then there's /those/ Emo Kids.....

The Cringey 'Emo' Fake Depressed Kids are a TOTALLY different thing than the Emo Bangs Kids

Emo Bangs Kids are pretty chill(From my experience)

I rate them a solid 96/10

emo

A term once used to refer to a certain style of music in the late 90s, then to a teenage stereotype in the early 2000s, nowadays used to make insecure people defensive (hence the many definitions trying to dissuade people from its common usage). For the teenage stereotype, "emo" connotates angst and nihilism; a fetishization of life's unfairness or meaninglessness; Reddit atheism without a god to denounce. This may be accompanied by attitudes and appearances reflecting a teenager's expected capacity for such extreme ideas.
