A subculture consisting of 14-19 year old teens (usually girls) Who constantly whine and complain about everything. Those who dont are very rare. The typical "emo" kid has MySpace, Tumblr, Instagram, and a Facebook and are always whining and obsessing over bands.
Bands they like are Black Veil Brides, Blood On The Dance Floor (Though half of the time they hate this band), Bring Me The Horizon (Sempiternal only), Memphis May Fire, Asking Alexandria, Suicide Silence (mainly only The Black Crown), Saywecanfly, Falling in Reverse, I See Stars, We Came as Romans, etc. Most of these bands they only know the singer and do not care about anything else other than "Omg thes singer ish s0000 hawt!!!" They own band merch, but lack to own the album itself mostly. They also act like they know who Nirvana is, but do not know who Dave Grohl or Krist Novoselic is. They never know anything about music usually.
The typical emo kid wears:
Skinny jeans (tight enough to take 1000 years to get off)
those giant bracelets
a shirt of one of the bands I mentioned above
piercings
painted nails
multi-colored hair (or a really wacky color)
eyeliner
giant boots or Converse All Stars
neclaces
straight hair
a really flashy belt
really long hair
Most of them are really into attention, although there are some who arent. Most of them will cut to get likes on facebook, act desperate for love, whine on their tumblr page all the time, and any other way that you can get attention.

Get the Emomug. First of all, we're not those people who say: Okay i'm gonna do this to look cool. We're the type of people who do this for a real meaning. To express emotional pain and depression. I know this because i'm emo myself, as i've used first person pronouns. Second, don't associate us with skaters, goths, and scenes. My girlfriend is a scene and I know the difference. Anyways, we like darker colors. Black, red, purple, whatever. You may think our style of music is crazy, but it really isn't. We're not loners. Emos have friends too. We're not forever alone. We get dates too. So quit hating on us. Okay? Okay. We don't cut for sympathy. We cut for a reason. Same as why we're even emo.
Emo: My life sucks *Cut*
