Emo began as a music style in the '90's, and has become associated with bands like My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy etc. It became a style that mostly (NOT ALWAYS) focuses on the vintage-look (retro brand names etc). Being emo myself, you're all gonna think 'OMG IT'S AN EMO, SHE'S, LIKE, GONNA BE, LIKE, OMGWTFBBQ MY LIFE SUCKS EMO'S RULE THEY'RE SO HARDCORE OMG LMAO' or something like that. (I'm not taking the mick out of anyone, I swear. Sorry if I offended someone.) I'm not depressed all the time, I'm not always writing dark poems about life, and I'm not anorexically skinny (I laugh about that).
Why is emo associated with self-harm? Just because some people decided that any depressing self-destruction music MUST be emo?
Emos are usually, as far as I know, into the retro emo bands that began the emo craze, and the more modern bands like Panic! @ The Disco etc. The most common feature of emo is the hair with a side-parting. The bangs are NOT always covering one eye, NOT always dark, NOT always straight, NOT always shaggy for boys and NOT always short for girls.
The thing I've noticed that made me laugh about people's descriptions for emo boys was that they all wear trousers fitted for girls. WHAT A CROCK. I've never seen an emo boy dressed in trousers that are fit for girls. It would look a bit dumb, I mean, with the hips and all. So what if the trousers might be tight? It doesn't mean they're for girls! SERIOUSLY STRANGE. But if there is an emo boy who wears girls trousers, SORRY.
Another big thing for emo is the gloves/bracelettes and scraves. NOT everyone wears them but it's pretty common, from what I've seen.
I AM NOT AN EXPERT. This is my opinion and it's not always right! Emo is a fashion sense that may have stereotypes but not all emos follow them. Who can tell me they know EXACTLY what the emo fashion is? Anyone? I don't think even emos can really tell me.

Him: Everyone says I'm not emo because my hair isn't cut across and isn't dark
Her: Stereotypes are fun, lets point and laugh
*Him and Her both point and laugh at the steroetypes dancing on the ceiling*

Reject of the Goth subgroup, although you won't be able to get a Goth to admit that these idiots were once Goth. Tend to have ridiculous hair-do's consisting of a random color mixed with black hair dye, tend to grow their hair over their eyes, usually wear extremely tight pants that if a non-emo wore would destroy a non-emo's genitalia, and Emo's tend to wear a shitload of make-up, completing the image of an Emo.
Often times the Emo will adopt the "woe is me" attitude, complaining that their life sucks and that they cannot get a girlfriend/boyfriend, which is funny because if you go to Youtube and look up Emo videos, you'll likely find said whiny bitch making out with five of their same sex friends. As well, they tend to exhibit a ton of butthurt over being ostracized for being Emo, not understanding that looking like a fag or a dyke is asking to be made fun of or beaten up. They also tend to run their mouth to other cultural subgroups in a vain attempt to look cool or tough, which instead leads to said Emo either running home, crying and writing bad poetry because their "victim" hurt their feelings, or leads to the Emo's hospitalization at the hands of the non-emo.
Emo's tend to write very bad poetry and waste the internet's bandwidth complaining about all their insignificant problems. Should conflict with the other subgroups arise, emo's will tend to gather in groups and attempt to intimidate the person(s) they started shit with. Seeing as Emo's are as intimidating as a care bear on morphine, this act is utterly futile. In the rare event that the Emo actually has non-Emo friends, this form of intimidation may have some effect on the person(s) in question. However, this is just goes to show that Emo's are too cowardly to fight their own battles. If one actually does have the courage to fight their own battle, they tend to lose very badly and in an embarrassing fashion, especially if fighting a Mexican.
Guys should be wary however, that due to the collective attitudes that all Emo's exhibit and the biological uncertainty of an Emo, that beating the shit out of one could land you in jail,due to the fact that you wailed on a woman who you thought was a dude.

I hate Emo's. I had no problems with them until high school when one tried to intimidate my friend who cried out "emo" when he walked by. she's rather odd and is lacking in height. I tried to explain that she's odd and that i told her not to start anything when he came back, but said Emo started to talk shit to me. I calmly pointed out that his sister's pants were tight enough to cause a rash or jock itch, causing the emo faggot to wander off, ironically calling me a fag.
Two days later, said Emo came back with ten of his friends (who were non-emo, oddly enough) and tried to start a fight with me. Rather than backing down, i did what any one should do: call the fucker out on his wish to kick my ass. This went on for 20 minutes until a teacher broke up the altercation. Said Emo did not fight me, and mouthed off all the way to the office. Seriously, fucking Emo's piss me off.

The way stupid teenagers spend their lives crying and thinking that their lives are horrible (they certainly are).
Also many emo teenagers like to pretend they tried to commite suicide just to gain a little attention... pathetic.
Please, if you are a emo, get a life and listen to real music, you are not special!!!

Emo boy: Damn, I'm so sad because nobody undestands me.
Normal person: I'm sorry, Did you said something?
Emo boy: You are my only friend ________ (name of the normal person), I love you.
Normal person: Stay away from me you freak!!!
Emo boy: ... If someone needs me I'll be on my room listening to shity music and pretending im commiting suicide...
PATHETIC

The name for derivative teenagers who try their very hardest to be "cutting-edge" by either telling literally the whole world (by that I mean classroom) that two men kissing is soo erotic, that their spoilt, middle-class existence is driving them to suicide and by shouting SEX! DRUGS! every 5 minutes. Also fond of throwing random tantrums, a la tortured rich kid Marissa from the OC
Emos are easy to point out:
1.tight black jeans
2.scrappy, anime-inspired hairdo
3.Neon jewelry
4.Enough eyeliner to rewrite the Da Vinci Code with

an emo isnt someone who sits in the corner and slits there wrist whilst sitting in a dark room alone. it is some one who doesnt jump for joy when the colour pink is mentioned and prefers to wear black. they are emotional because of all the crap that all the other people put us through. we dont slit our wrists but if we do then we have a good reason. take a look at the world and then try telling us its not shit. were not all suicidal, we just dont get the point of life if were just going to end up dead. all your lifes accomplishments will be piontless. stop pissing off us emos because at one time or another you will feel the same way as us.
cheerleder:omg, i totally love your black nailpolish. like where did you get it?
emo:its texta
cheerleader:omg what a good idea.*hugs emo*
emo:*is creeped out because we dont like hugs*

An Emo girl dresses in their own way of expression. They don't care what people think because it's what she likes.
EMO ATTIRE:: What I usually wear...
1} A black t-shirt with mcr on it or sometimes a shirt with my favorite superhero or cartoon.
2} A studded belt with hearts and diamonds on it. Dark denim, straight legged, jeans. When I wear knee pants, I always wear funky socks. Mostly they have stripes on them, but sometimes I wear socks with Jack the Pumpkin King (from Tim Burton's "A Nightmare Before Christmas") on them.
3} I usually wear converse shoes. I mismatch the colors though. On one foot I wear red and the other black...depending on the colors in my shirt. I also wear vans sometimes.
4} On my left arm I wear an armband with polka dots on it. On my right arm I wear tons of different color hair bands. My nails are usually black...but sometimes I mismatch them like my shoes.
HAIR::
My hair is short like a boy (not too short). My bangs are long and cover my right eye. I have spikes in my hair. My main color is black. My spikes are red and orange (so when I spike them it looks like fire.) Then I have red, blonde, and violet highlights in my bangs and some in the very back.
1} Hair must cover one eye. (sometimes it irritates my eye)
2} Hair can be any color(s). Express yourself in your hair. First timers get it done at a salon so the stylist can give you tips on how to do it, hair color to buy, etc. (it costs about 80 dollars to get it done at a salon.)
MAKE-UP::
My make-up consists of: powder, black eyeliner and dark gray eyeshadow.
1} Eyeliner is a must to get the Emo look. Use black eyeliner and put it on top and bottom (but not too much). If you can't put it on top then just put it on the bottom. Just as long as you have it on.
2} Eyeshadow can be any color. Sometimes it looks awesome if you wear it underneath your eye as well.
3} Don't wear too much powder. You can wear blush but it's unnecessary. If you want to look pale then exclude blush. ALWAYS put blush on before you put powder on. Unless you are using liquid foundation, then put blush on afterwards.
1 thing I want to let you know:: Emos NEVER say Oh My God or Oh my Gosh...Poser Emos and Preps do.

Prep boy: Hey cutter, you're outfit is so ugly.
Emo girl: My outfit is the art of who I am.
Prep boy: Come on raccoon eyes get over it!
Emo girl: I have nothing to get over. I am happy with who I am and if you don't like it...then I don't give a freak. Oh, and I don't cut. *shows wrists*
Emo girl walks away with a smile and puts headphones on her ears. Prep boy goes back with his buddies and they laugh.
Emos don't care what others think.
