Get the urbis emosmug. 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
"Orchasttsrshjk is my favorite word" --Me, a former Emo Bangs Kid

Emo: Life is so meaningless
by scp049 August 5, 2022
Get the emomug. 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.
