emo

a pathetic, sad "hip" millenium-brat word a watered down word of what used to in the 80s-90s be simply called a goth.

a way of making being "emotional" and "poetic" seem outrageously trendy also one who frequently goes to hot topic to buy ridiculously expensive clothes--and who wears shirts with bands and pop culture references they know nothing about--a usually upper middle class kid who wants everyone to know what a "misfit" they are

an emo is the equivalent of a yippie--which was back in the day a poser hippie

a multicolored sheep who thinks they go against the grain
emo:
"my life is so tragic, my mom won't get me a cell-phone i need to listen to sad music and contemplate the woe of my existent"

emo:
"i love tight pants and rainbow colors but inside i'm so dark and i've been through things you can't even contemplate like that one weekend when i couldn't go to the mall and hang with my equally troubled and complicated friends"

emo:
"my mommy didn't give me dessert so i gave my self a few small scratches on my wrist cause i'm so dark and sad and oppressed"

emo:
"everything's so sad and hard and no one understands me except the people at hot topic who facilitate my need to be a "rebel"

Bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco are not emo and emos need to know this. They're pretty good bands, I listen to them all the time...BUT they're not emo. I hate to have to give in to conformity and say that I am emo but personally, if I were being told about this kind of stuff by someone who wasn't emo, and didn't have the experience of participation, then I would find it hard to believe them. I don't cut, I don't cry all the time, I don't sit around feeling sorry for myself. I normally go out whenever I can and get totally drunk and enjoy myself. Emo is not about following the apparent stereotypes of the mainstream audience, it's about expressing the way you look and act through the emotive hardcore music scene. Emotive hardcore bands include:

The Rites of Spring
The Get Up Kids
American Football (Yes, it's a band, too)
Etc Etc...

emo

someone who is different and doesn't give a f**k and they want to express it to everyone, they like screamo bands, which can now be infused with rap (examples of this on youtube) they also like real hardcore rock, they dress in bright colours to stand out, they want to show a darker side of themselves by colouring their hair with a black base and wearing black band t-shirts of more hardcore rock groups, they are pretty nice people once you get to know them, usually if someone is an emo society has driven them to it.

Emo girl's usually look innocent but threatening, and Emo guys usually look stick thin and depressed.

Most emo's are usually bi or bi-curious.
Society:that person is different lets mock them
Society Agrees
Emo gets s**t off society
Emo then realizes how different they are and decide to try to be normal like society.
It fails.
Emo creates a cool band.
Emo guy meets Emo girl.
Fall in love.
Emo's win, Society FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!
