emo

A label coined by the media to define a new soft core punk rock tendency and its followers. Even when false, it is nowadays used to define a new teenage generation with dense emotional interface. Very soon they found themselves antagonized and unaccepted by many groups and creeds. A curious phenomenon given the fact that they are mostly concerned with their own matters and pose no threat to anyone else.

Much like the hippies in the sixties, who also suffered heavy discrimination despites their peaceful and non-violent tendency, emos have borrowed only more notoriety from the criticism and developed into a modern era phenomenon.
Josh: People in school are saying Peter is emo...
Gary: Thats so gay.
Josh: Tell me about it. Did you buy tickets for the next show of Monstertruck Madness?
Gary: Sure did. I never miss the chance to see fuel burning and metal grinding.
Josh: Now THATS something manly... poor Peter.
Gary: ... poor Peter.

Emo

Someone who doesn't realize a lot of people have worse lives than they do. Usually spoiled, and are attention-seeking pussies. When their pissed, they go and cry in their rooms and write poems.
I saw this emo kid and got really pissed off. He was fucking crying, probably because his parents took away his razor.

He doesn't realize some people his age have no parents to take care of them, and others his age are starving.

[emo]

im not sure if u've noticed but where i come from emo is being used more as an insult more than a label. people r always joking about being an emo and pretending to slit their wrists it is kinda pathetic.

also emos r seen as weak and cry-babies, and dont like to do anything. im emo and im stronger than most of the guys who arent and i dont cry and i skateboard so im only part emo.

also no offence to emos but i dont no about u but im pretty sick of people saying im sh*t at sports and everything. it annoys me, the only reason i dont do anything is cus of them. but i think emos shud do more things to show them tht they can.

last thing. emos dont reli have a bad point of few on life. but the only reason the world dont have time fot emos is cus it dont have time for anyone.

so heres a definition of emo - open minded being, who listens to killer music and isnt afraid to express their emotions. but dont always slit their wrists.
um ... dont no wot to put in here lol soz. um i am a emo/skater and anyone who is emo has an awesome music sense .... oh and dresses kewl.... well i got to go dye my hair.

emo

Someone who is very emotional. They dress however they want to dress, and they don't always slit their wrists and want to shoot themselves. A lot of emo people just write poetry to deal with life. And just to make a note, emos are not posers. You don't choose to be emo. Emo chooses you. In my opinion, the emo haters need to get to know emo kids before trashing them.

It's also a genre of music.
I am emo, and I don't slit my wrists or want to kill myself. I write poetry to deal with the crappy hand life has dealt me.

1. People with problems who don't want to put forth the effort to fix them.

2. People who make up their own problems, then cry about them.
1. Why can't that person get off their @ss and do something about they're problems?

They are emo.

2. That emo is such a poser.
