Emo

ok ya emo is a type of music that is usually refered to as screamo... but the word emo has a different meaning..... to be emo means to cut ur self.... its not always on ur wrist... it could be anywhere on your body. if you think som1 is emo... talk to them DONT judge them.... usually somthing is going on and they have no one to talk to... so they cut... some cut because its a pain that they can see, feel, and control unlike the pain they r prolly feeling inside.

emo people will occasionally wear tight pants, black, scarfs ect. but not all. bottom line: DONT BE STERIOTIPICAL
Girl 1: hi... i noticed ur scars and how u always seemed depressed... do u wanna talk about it
Girl 2: no(she starts crying)
Girl 1: r u sure... c'mon... cutting is bad for you... its not going to solve anything... u need to talk to som1... u can start by talking to me
Girl 2: ok... ill tell u....

and she goes on with her story and girl 1 finnaly understands that all this emo girl needs is a friend

Emo

A person that says they are Emo. So stop calling a person that wears all black or an anime jacket emo. They either have nothing in their clause or just a big fan.
hey are you emo”.

EMO

mo was originally a nickname for "emotive hardcore" (type of music), but has evolved into meaning "emotional" because it was misinterpreted, since fans of this music were ususally known for being a bunch of depressed-self-harming-teens with too much free time. It's all stereotypical. But this is what it's known for now. An emo person (like I said stereotypical) would be very depressed, hate the world, including themselves and probably cry all the time. They've even stereotyped and emo style. Usually "emo" kids dress in skinny jeans, dark colors (but not all black), band tee shirts, and chucks. But, like I said about 5 or so times. IT'S ALL STEREOTYPICAL!!! And it did originally mean "emotive hardcore". (and if some one dresses like that it doesn't mean they're gonna go suicidal!)
an Emo thought "the world hates me im gonna cry and cut myself"

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: “ :) “
