A lifestyle chosen by people.

Originally was a label of music but has now expanded to a lifestyle. Mostly high schoolers dress "emo". This is currently defined as black straight hair, tight girl pants, band shirts and can include self-mutilation (cutting), writing depressive poetry and dressing somewhat dark.

For the people who think that "emo" people are fags or queers or anything offensive. You are wrong. Its just how they wish to be. If you are a prep you aren't necessarily rich and happy all the time.

Emo should be defined as dressing and acting differently from the current scene of life. Not being 'emotional' or being a 'wannabe goth'.
Good version) She dresses emo, look at that purse, I would've never thought to decorate it like that.

Bad version)OMG! He is soooo Emo. I say we go make fun of him until he cries, or rips out his fake black hair so he can cut himself and write a song about it. *giggles like an idiot*

A pussier version of punk music that always cries, bitches, and moans about how life in suberbia sucks so much. Somehow it became popular fad, leading to large populations of emo inhabiting our school systems.

Emos can be seen feeding off of bread and water(as most are vegans), wearing tight sriped cotton shirts, tight girls jeans ( all emos seem to be members of the vajority), sriped wool scarfs, and cutting themselves in the school bathrooms. Be waery of joining the emos, for once you become one, you can never go back. Just like a sex change, Coincidence?
Normal person: Thats a nice striped shirt you got there. What is it, an extra small?
Emo: I don't know, the tag only had woman sizes on it.

In my personal experiance, most "emo kids" either a) have a genuine reason to be depressed, b) like the clothing style, or c) like the music... they aren't just the whiney bitches you all make them out to be. Sure, there are the few whiney ones here and there, but face it, there are whiney people everywhere. also, for the record most emo kids I know arn't the snobby rich kids that cry over the little BS and only one person I know cuts herself, and god forbid someone come to the conclusion she has a mental disorder... I'm not an emo kid, I make no claim to be, infact I like baggy clothes and like my hair short. And stop dissing the music! it doesn't suck. well some of it does, but most of it doesn't. Look, I wouldn't give it five stars, but it sucks less then lotsa stuff I've heard on the local hip hop station, and I do infact like hiphop-just not all of it, some of it does suck. just don't go there with the hater crap... it's getting old, just "shut up and smile"-Bowling for Soup
(assholes) your not just like me, infact your like someone else,so your gay, and you have emotions and thats gay too! , you emo fag!

(anyone else)...shut up retard!

Emo, is more of a state of mind then a style. FOr those of who who are on here complaining about Emo Kids, you obviously dont know the definition. Emo is a state of mind in which you are depressed, sad, hurt. Its not a sense of fashion. Emo's do not cut themselves. Emo Kids have the option to, but most do not. Cutter would be the term for cutting yourself. Okay?
Kid1: Wow, he looks emo today.
Kid2: DO you even know what that means?
Kid1: Sure. HE cuts himself and crys all day.
Kid2: No dude, your an asshole.
Kid1: Why?
Kid2: Cause your dumb.
Kid1: Your gay
Kid2: Go to urban dictionary. There you can learn.

Jeez guys. Get it right.
