Emo

Emo, over the years, has gathered a lot of different definitions. It can be used as the shortened version of emotional, emotionally unstable, emotion, etc. It also has become a genre. A lot of people have stereotyped emo, and like most stereotypes, a little of it CAN be true, but not completly. Some examples are

- All emos cut/slit their wrist
- They are always depressed
-Drama queens/kings
-Terrible with kids

There are a lot more, but these are actually a few of the least offensive I have come across. Again, there can be some truth to stereotypes, but most of it is made up.

Most 'Emos' are a bit emotionally sensitive (hence the name 'emo'), which isn't always a bad thing. They are just a little more aware of their emotions, and aren't afraid to show them. Some are. There also is a genre of music that is called Emo. This tends to get mixed up/combined with scene, goth, and punk.
Emo has become a fairly popular genre, hasn't it?

Emo

A person that was strong for too long but finally broke from the weight on their shoulders and showing how broken they are through their clothing and music choices also some of the nicest people you could ever meet because they know pain too well to let others feel it.

emo

not a fucking depressed guy. most of the time they like bands like Pierce The Veil, twenty one pilots, MCR, Fall Out Boy, and found often wearing dark clothes and a lot of eyeliner/guyliner. Many have taken on the habbit of the game Neko Atsume. Never says theyre a "true fan" of anything unless they can have a lyric battle of the artist/band with another. Obsessed with youtubers, particularly gamers and therorists.
