Emo

Emo: a genre of music, usually applying to young teenagers that have long black hair, heavy eyeliner, black clothing, and like to express themselves. Emo people usually are the nicest people you will know once you break their shell, but that is only sometimes. This definition is not intended to be offensive to any Emo people.
The Emo band Pierce the Veil is often considered 'emo' music, such as Bring Me the Horizon, Falling in Reverse, Sleeping With Sirens, and All Time Low.

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 clothing: Hot Topic

Emo bands: Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, blessthefall, The Word Alive

1. Despite what many people may think, emo is a genre of music
2. It can also be a synonym for scene kids
3. But most people refer to it as those goth kids who cut themselves, when really thats a pretty good name for them (no offense to you "emo" people)
4. Short for emotional

I see how many of you judge 'emos', and I'm sick of it. I mean, yes, some of them are just attention thirsty teenagers, but some are not.

"Emos" are people who would rather feel physical pain rather than emotional pain. I know it sounds stupid, but as a teenager, we all grow up differently and feel things in so many different ways. To one person, fumbling over a sentence for a moment is nothing, but to another...it could be something they think about all day, full of regret. I agree, that that is overly sensitive, but it's just they way some people are. There is no reason to hate on them.

Just let people be who they are and don't stereotype.
Emo is a state of mind, not a fasion statement.
