Emo is used to describe a person thats in this hole called depression. Girls cut their hair short. Guys grow their hair out. They also wear black and band merch. They also listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Twenty One Pilots, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, etc. Some emos cut and kill themselves.
That boy seems emo.

An emo, also known as the average LeafyIsHere fan. LeafyIsHere being the lord and savior of the Emonian empire. An emo can be described as a long haired suicdal creature. It has a bizarre tendency to do a combination of a selfie and the 'perfect' emoji sometimes.

1) Behavior of an emo - Emo's usually behave as if they were depressed, but they are truly not. They tell dark jokes just to go with their outfit, and how they talk. They are very socially awkward, and will avoid you if you are a normal person. If you do try to communicate they will act shy, because nobody has given them attention like you have in years, and they finally get a single shred of evidence that they are living an embarrassing facade. They will instantly have a huge crush on you once you do communicate with them...
2) Clothing - Usually strange items you've never seen before, and when you try to study them you almost gag at why they are wearing them. They wear things like, mini hand cuffs on their bracelets that also happen to be black leather or a silver metal. They also add to their apparel a half shaven head with their hair swept to the side.
3) Hobbies - Usually drawing, or something that is kind of depressing like singing quiet songs or watching anime cartoons. Sometimes they are pretty good artists, and sometimes the stuff the draw will require 8 gallons of bleach for your eyeballs.
I personally dont see why someone would do something like, becoming an emo just for attention. Its sick. Enjoy life because you're gonna be 83 years old realizing that you did nothing but act sad your whole life just because you wanted someone to notice you. fuck off m8

emo's are people how like to express their feelings through song or poetry.We dont hate the world, we just want to feel loved by others, we're just a little lonely, and confused, (thats perfectly normal, anyway, like, who here doesnt get lonely or confused about something?, i dont get why people see as as freaks!) We're perfectly normal, we're just a bit more emotional than others.Not all emo's cut them selves, you dont need to cut yourself to become emo, yeah we do cut ourselves, but we seldomly do that, we just cut ourselves sometimes because it helps us feel something but again you really dont need too if you dont want to.Emo's are very affectionate, and actually very nice, we dont listen to music because its different and probably wierd to you haters, we listen to music because we can relate to it, because we could see the meaning in the lyrics.When emo's want something , we go for it, we dont care if others dont like it as long as we're happy with it. Emo's are not lowlifes who do nothing but lock their selves in their rooms and cry every night. we can have fun too, we can laugh and make jokes too, we have our own lives too!Maybe if you haters get to know us better you'll probably like us alot.Being emo is my own way of expressing myself, and its my own way of solving my problems.Any way thanks for reading this and i hope it helps you understand a little more about emos... Oh, and almost forgot, EMOS DONT OVERREACT TO EVERYTHING!OKAY? well see yah........ BYE;)
people who listen to emo music, even if they dont want to,just so they can get noticed-POSERS!
people who cut them selves excessively and display their scars to others-DEFINITLEY POSERS!
people who dont care what people say,as long as their happy, write emotional songs and poetry and cut themselves(rarely),NOT TO GET NOTICED, they just do it when they feel like it- now thats an Emo...EMOS DONT NEED OTHERS SYMPATHY, AND WE DEFINITLEY DONT WANT OTHERS TO PITTY ON US, so when some one tells you their emo just to get your attention that person is a M**********n' poser.
