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?

As sterotypical as Jocks, Goths, Punks, Gangsters, ect...just a bit more angsty. Seriously, who knew a definition could cause such an uproar??
