Emo

An emo is someone with unstable/hightened emotions. Most people joke about emos saying that they have nothing to to be sad about, that they have perfect lives or that they cut but the truth is to be emo you don't have to cut. Lots of emos really do have crappy lives and lots of emos think that cutting is a waste of time as it creates more problems than it solves.
Emos are also focus lots on music such as Black Veil Brides/Escape The Fate which are often classed as emo. Their meaningful lyrics and heavy music being too heavy for mainstream music such as Madonna or Usher. The lyrics to emo songs are often confessional e.g. the Escape the Fate song The Day I Left The Womb about Ronnie Radke the lead singers mother who abandoned his family.
Emos also have a very specific style including skinny jeans for both males and females, band hoodies and band t-shirts which display the names of various 'emo' or 'screamo' bands such as BFMV, Buckcherry or BMTH. They often wear black sneakers and hate being seen minus their IPod.
Emos are subject to abuse most of the time due to their differences although these are what makes us great. Emos often have facial piercings. They are often associated with tattoos as well, the more sterotypical emo tattoos are 'depressing' sayings, chest tattoos such as hearts with wings and star designs
Despite this though emos are just average people with a different outlook on life than most people. They love, they laugh, they hurt.

Jock: Look at that emo girl and guy, are they going to cry and cut themselves together?
Random Girl: Up the shut fuck! They're people too and they just have lots of emotions!
