Emo

Emo was original short for emotional punk rock.

Emo culture and people

A actual emo describe themselves as shy, emotionally sensitive, but can be happy and fun to hang around just quiet and takes a while for us to warm up. we listens to rock, soft rock, emotional rock, screamo, and a mix of genres with songs based on hardships of life. some will cut but hide it from others, so they won't posted it on their Instagram or Snapchat because they don't care to draw attention and sympathy from other people. people don't understand not all emos will dress in mainly dark colors dye our hair and have it in our faces, have piercings and makeup all over our bodies. Some of us look quite normal just wear dull colors so we don't draw attention to ourselves but are more emotional then most people. if You look closely you may find some of us are your friends and just quiet and more or less socially awkward in conversations.

Fake emos

Fake emos edgy, puts a bad name on us, dress in black all the time does everything to look emo as possible, are looking for attention, will post on everything how much they hate their life and post everytime they cut can be straight up pricks to people even when they're just trying to help. they're emotional unstable not sensitive love to act out making big senses. so please if you are one of these people go to punk or goth or the other alternative cultures

Emo

The term "Emo" is used as counterculture; it is an abbreviation of the word "emotional". Emo it's defining not only an attitude, but also a fashion that are coming from emocore (emo music). Emocore is a combination between hardcore and punk music which was very popular in Washington DC in the late 80's. The emo culture continued to develop between '90 and '00, reaching the height of its popularity today. Emo is also a popular type of fashion now a days.

The society thinks emos are failures; they are not strong enough to hide their emotions.

You don't have to be emo to listen to punk/hardcore/post hardcore music.
Also having black hair (natural or dyed) can't label you as an emo (unless you want to). Emo is used as an insult these days to label people with high emotions and/or people who wears black clothes.

Emo is not as bad as the society sees them. Why would people discriminate or judge emos when they have done nothing wrong to the society but all they have done is having their hair painted/naturally black, listening to rock/punk/hardcore music, or wearing black clothes.

People shouldn't be judging anyone just because of what they do or just because of the music they listen to. Everyone has different tastes and no one should be discriminating others just because of those reasons.

Emo

Somebody, more often than not an attention seeker, who is/acts as if they have depression, suicidal tendencies, social anxiety, and other mental disorders. They tend to wear black and red, and usually wear their hair over one or both of their eyes. Not every emo is an attention seeker, many people just like the style of it. Eyeliner and the g note appear to grab their attention.
