Emo is not a word that can simply be defined using words. The only way you can define it is by living it. Emo is not just a genre, it's a way of life.

Get the Emo kidmug. someone who doesnt exactly fit in. they probably dont even try. we dont all slit our wrists, and can be great people if you get to know an emo person. it could be called a way of lif or just whatever you define it as. they most likely want more alone time than others. Emo has a distinct style that others may call kinda gay, but they obviously know nothing about being emo. We listen to watever kinda music we want wether its cool or not. A true emo will where whatever they want wether its tight jeans or a pink and black striped scarf, it doesnt matter, a poser emo will try to where tight jeans and black and talk about how they LOVE to cut themselves. This is all that comes to mind so, yeah.
Emo Kid listening to his favorite music:_the lyrics of that song are deep and move me to an emotional level i have never felt before

Get the emo kidmug. Emo is a term currently used to refer to a subculture of young people (generally teenagers) who wear dark clothing and act in a melodramatic manner. They tend to wear tight clothes, which are usually black. Both male and females will complain about their lives and their families, even if there is really nothing wrong. They will often claim that their parents hate them, even if their parents are actually very caring. They tend to be immature, since their melodramatic demeanor is usually the teen manifestation of brattiness.
The easiest way to reverse this behavior is simply not to put up with it, and to point out their bratty attitude to them (see example 1). It is important to provide the emo kid with both reassurance (see example 2), and tough love (see example 3) It is also important that you ignore any attention-seeking behavior.
The biggest problem with emo kids is that they emulate kids with depression, which makes it harder for the kids with actual problems to get help.Many emo kids write suicide poems for the attention, and as a result it becomes harder to spot the kids who are actually contemplating suicide.

EMO KID: My life sucks. My mom hates me. She won't give me money for the movies.
FRIEND: Your mom gave you money yesterday. You spent it all at hot topic.
EMO KID: I knew it. You guys hate me. Everyone hates me.
FRIEND: We don't hate you. You're just being immature right now.
EMO KID: My teacher hates me. Look, she gave me an "F" on my test. It's just so unfair. I work so hard, and I still fail.
FRIEND: You failed the test because you didn't study, and because you only answered half the questions. Suck it up. Some people have actual learning disabilites. Like dislexia, the one that makes some letters appear BACKWARDS? Take responsibility for yourself.
EMO KID: My life sucks.
DEPRESSED KID: mine too.
EMO KID: My parents cut my allowance just because I got an F on my test. And they wouldn't buy me any eyeliner.
DEPRESSED KID: Nothing I do is fun anymore, I can't sleep, I keep getting headaches, I can't remember the last time I had fun, and my parents grounded me for a month because I "stole" my step-mom's mascara. When I told them how depressed I felt, they told me to stop being emo.

Get the Emo kidmug. an Emo kid is someone who listens to Emo, Screamo.
By really understanding this Music, even before reading the genre (on the net), well that wuold make him emotional.
what im trying to say is that by understanding Emo or Screamo Music makes you an emotional person.
by saying Emotional I mean someone who is in touch with his feelings, not that he is only depressed!!!(he could or not be).
if someone is emotional and doesnt listen to emo that means he is not emo but is an emotional person..
emo doesnt stand for emotional music (almost all music is emotional) but it stands for EMOTIONAL (hardocore) PUNK ROCK
(NOT ALL EMO SONGS ARE DEPRESSING, but emotionally happy,sad,Angry,etc...) by saying this i dont want to say tht punk rock isnt emotional but EMO is based on shouting out loud emotions...
THTS HOW I SEE IT...
(about the scene, well choose i think its cool so il semi go for it, u dont like it, well look at veda skyes,chasing victory,etc... VERY NORMAL PEOPLE)
about kissing guys, well NOT EVERYONE DOES IT, if they do so well they have their reasons (emo is not about kissing guys)
make-up:well thts always the trend part (like it or not u choose if put it on or not)
i wont say anything about the posers 'cause those are everywhere.
EMOS do NOT care of showing their emotions to everyone.
plz dont identify EMOS for fags, or weirdos... if u do well its ur life...

Get the Emo kidmug. this is my definition.
we are the people who cannot be defined by the "normal" society around us.
that is that.
emo isnt about tight pants, black hair, band shirts.
its about how we feel towards life and music in general.
no. you DONT HAVE TO LIKE EMO MUSIC to be EMO.
no. you DONT HAVE TO WEAR TIGHT PANTS to be EMO.
no. you DONT HAVE TO WRITE POETRY to be EMO.
(but if you do write. thats grand. keep it up.)
to be "emo": know that the world is truly beautiful and worth trying to find that truth.
its all in the mind.
not the body.

Get the emo kidmug. Ok this is to every one thinks that emo is all about the cutting and the music and the clothes. Its not! Emo kids are extremlly sensitve and we are not posers! We actuly listen to the lyrics in songs and we don't want to fit into the cheerleader/jock mold. We are ourselveves and that is a good thing. (and you can't say guy on guy ain't just a little hott!) (no offence)
Jock:Hey emo you gonna kill yourself now, huh?
Emo kid:No im not, why would you think that?
Cheerlaeder(holding on to jocks arm and giggling like th air head she really is) Well isn't that what you do?
Emo kid:OK then. If you think that then you really are an airhead poser! God, don't be stereotypical.\
Cheerleader to Jock: ummmmmm... what does ster-eo-ty-pi-cal mean??
Jock: i dunno but let's get out of here and have sex in the back of my corvette.
Cheerleader:OK "giggle"
