Emo

1. A new-age style of music developed by musicians such as Emmanuel from Emo Dagher who incorporate powerful emotion into lyrics with uplifting music accompanying. This could also be called 'soulful music' as the overall tone is relatively positive.

2. A dark genre of music that combines varied rock music type instrumentation with often depressed, depressing or downright whiney lyrics. This is in a way punk music gone bad due to a combination of depression, low self esteem and people apparently wanting to feel more depressed thanks to the singer whining about their problems. This could also be due to wanting to relate with it, but in the end it only turns a grim mind state into a rather generic lifestyle.

3. The people who walk around dressed in gothic/punkish clothing who constantly act depressed and/or monotone due to several reasons, usually including lack of attention from both peers and family, not wanting to get over their problems, and a dominating 'victim' mindset which usually causes them to falsely believe they can't do anything about their problems. This is obviously a foolish choice on the part of the individual but stupid and/or brainwashed people seem to enjoy not enjoying themselves, so in this writer's opinion, let 'em whine, just make sure they do it somewhere else.

4. An attempt to get 'friends' made most often by people who have none. In such cases as this the individual gives up their individuality for sake of conforming entirely to what these 'friends' say is right to be accepted. In reality these are not the person's friends as they are apparently very superficial and in some amusing cases, these same people can walk around whining about how others conform.
1. "Dude, this emo daugher group actually puts positive vibes out! Maybe emo isn't just all them whiney teens."

2. Jahred (from Hed P.E.) - "Friends do not let friends listen to emo!"

3. Also Jahred from the end of the song 'Game Over' - "Go ahead, spend your money on some stupid fuckin trend! Some shit that's gonna be gone by next year. Wear your hair like a girl, wear girl pants like a fuckin queer! Keep whining about your little cheating slut of a girlfriend! Like a fuckin little baby.. be a man... Checkmate.. ha!"

4. From the Emo song made by adam and andrew - "You can be a nonconformist too if you look just like me."

Emo

A subculture common to kids born post 1987 who want to identify as a 'punk' but have little knowledge of the origins of the word 'punk'. More than likely they grew up listening to other soft music like the Backstreet Boys and Christina Aguilera, but realised when they reached high school that this was no longer cool. So they start listening to bands like My Chemical Romance and Panic at the Disco or Jared Leto's band because they feel morose and suicidal and that their lives are not worth living. They then start dying their hair black and wearing 1990's punk clothing (skate shoes, heavy chain belts etc) usually consisting of black, red or white. They see themselves as being 'goths' because boys apply eye makeup reminiscent of Robert Smith from the Cure, but highly unlikely whether they actually know who this is. They believe they are being 'alternative' and 'edgy' however they are overwhelmingly conformist as they all look the same, dress the same and listen to extremely soft core, pansy, fluffy pop music disguised as 'punk'.
"My son is trying to look like Jared Leto, wearing makeup and listening to Fall Out Boy all the time, I think he's become an emo!"

Emo

emos don't get depressed they get sangry its like angry and sad, but anyway they sit in the dark slitting their wrists because they think it'll help their supposed problems in life. like "oh my god i've got a pimple" is a normal reaction an emo goes "A PIMPLE! I HATE YOU!" and retreats to their rooms for the rest of the day to cry and moan about, the lies the government cover over and how everyone picks on them because they are different, but how are they different if all emos dress the same!
"I'm emo because I listen to Emo Music"
"Thats nice"
"WAH WAH WAH CORPORATE LIES WAH WAH WAH I HATE YOU!"

Emo

1. Homosexual
see also fag, faggot, gay, homo

2. Genre of music that cant be described as rock because of the homosexual undertones or pop because of the semi - non - "mainstream" theme. "god-squad" bands are especially prominent in this genre , this music is an enigma because as soon as anyone other than the first person to hear the band, listens to the music, it becomes unpopular. so bands are constantly called "sellouts" which raises the question. How can they be sellouts if no one gives a fuck?
Bill: omg dude danielle left me...

Zach: dude quit that shit your not gonna go emo on me and fuck some butch girl or really feminine dude right?

Bill: what? no way! im not gonna let some cunt run my life who needs that stupid whore

Zach: exactly lets go get a beer

-------------
Craig: hey is that (insert emo band here)?!?! i love them!!!

Gary: wow, i like these sellouts less now thanks ass

Craig: what the hell just happened?
