Emo

Likes dark clothes but doesn't always wear black. Don't always cut themselves. The title isn't always given by someone else sometimes they realize it first. Likes music a lot. Favorite bands are probably Mcr, FOB, P!ATD, and TOP. Almost always accompanied by a black hair tie on their wrist. Almost always seen in skinny jeans, a band t-shirt and beanie. Not completely friendless but usually only a few close friends. Doesn't usually care what other people think. Will wear pajamas to school if they want to. Emo isn't always a bad thing. Emo is short for emotional. Emo is also derived from music. Do not get them confused with goth or scene usually has eyeliner.

Emo

Most of the people who call themselves “emo” and attention seek are fakes. A real emo is someone who is very sensitive and overreacts to things.

Emos also either heavily express themselves through music, art, writing and many more things OR like me they hide their emotions and feelings because people judge them and they are shy.
Just because you self harm doesn’t mean you are emo and vice versa.

Emo

A style of clothing and music that includes black along with accents of neon, skinny jeans, long hair and bangs that fall partly or completely over one or both eyes, usually angled. Some emo guys wear eyeliner. Emo music can includes screaming, along with singing. It's a type of metal. Emo music can be screamo, death metal, emo-core, alternative, etc.

False Stereotypes:

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE DEPRESSED. There are plenty who are happy with their lives.

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE SELF-HARM. Self-harm and emo style have nothing to do with eachother. There are preppy people that self-harm, as well as emo people. Self-harm is a serious problem that should not be laughed at or looked upon as wierd or crazy.

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION. Of course some are. But not all of them. Some preppy people look for attention too.

Emo

Emo is a music scene started in the mid '80s, as an offshoot of punk. Emo is, despite stereotypes, not all about cutting and suicide and crying. Emo is simply EMOtional. It's a music genre, and a state of mind.

People often hate on Emo because it's not "normal" or because it's cooler than them. These people are not cool. If someone insults you because you are a true emo, just ignore them or make a witty, intelligent comeback.

Emo

A guy/girl who says they're "different" and if you say they're "wierd" they'll tell you your not "wierd enough"

Too many today, it used to be a thing only a small ammount of people did, now you can see some kids as young as 10 getting in on the act.
They often sound the same when justifying themselves aswell, (see below).
