emo

a term coined to describe the emotional (there is a rare misconception that "emo" is an abbreviation of UNemotional) or "angsty" subculture of the teenager; "emo" is generally associated with dark clothing, dark make-up, dark, heavily rimmed glasses, chucks, images of depression such as cutting and sometimes anorexia (due to the fact that emo is also associated with tight clothing), and certain hairstyles (typically long, sideswept, as in diagonal, bangs that tend to obscure the eye(s)); the emo philosophy combines a certain existentialism and classic tragedy and expresses these ideals through a genre of music
