In the mid to late nineties the term Emo applied to people who wore lots of colours in there clothing and cute charactor patches or back-packs, often sporting lots of buttons. These people were eceptionally happy and bouncy. The emotion (emo) the was displayed was a super cheery one not the angsty depression of today's Emo. Happy Emo is also refered to as Old-School Emo.
Normal Person: "Hey there Emo girl"
Happy Emo Girl: *Giggle* "oh Hi there." *bouncy head bobble* "Have you seen my new bag with Bert and Ernie? Isn't it Soooooo Cute!" Giggle squeel*

A person who doesnt wear much black, but listens to screamo and other emo genres. And cuts themselves ONLY when they get depressed. Although they are not always depressed.
Emo: i hate life.
Happy emo: i hate life. hey look a pretty flower.

Happy Emo: "OMG i love life so much! I love being outside in the sunshine smoking weed willy nilly"

Someone who is a 'Happy Emo' is usually someone who acts happy around their friends but inside they're really depressed,or is really sad when they get back to thier home life.

Hah! There is no such thing. Emos are always miserable, otherwise they shouldn't call themselves emos. The whole emo philosophy is to be permanently depressed in order to get attention. Stupid brats.
Therefore, the isn't any such thing as a happy emo, because that would be breaking strict emo rules - and you wouldn't want to do that; you'd only make them cry even more
*shudders*
Me: hello!
Emo: *cry* ...hi...I guess
Me: so you're an emo now are you?!
Emo: *cry*
Me: fucking trend follower
Emo: *cry*
