A sheeplike creature often seen milling about waiting for their next opportunity to pour disdain on the very culture they embrace, although the music scene is said to be blamed for the name Emo meaning EMOtive music i think it far more likey it is due to the emo's style guru Emo Philips the comedian. also see otaku for more info on the original roots of this culture
Although a seemingly us trend this began in the otaku region of japan which spawned the older trend named after the region these "Otaku" kids were almost identical to emo teens except that they started to become violent and several muders were commited. both of these trends are merely precursors to the cult of the drummers seen in the graphic novel "Halo Jones" first seen in the comic 2000ad the drummers were a group of emo lookalikes who had a hypnotic drumbeat implanted in there brains that would make them almost catatonic with bouts of psychotic violence very much like the otaku

A musical genre that originated in the 1990's.
People are normally associated with emo.
It is a stereotype.
ALL STEREOTYPES ARE BAD.
but..
Emo. How to describe?
Most emo bands are catergorized by screaming and lyrics like "cut my wrist and black my eyes" (from Ohio is For Lovers//Hawthorne Heights). The band members normally wear make-up but what bands don't? Some even go to the extremes of wearing female clothes (most emo bands are all male) and thick black make-up around their eyes to have them appear beaten up. Emo bands are never put on MTV or FUSE. they are thought to be to depressing and inappropriate for their viewers.
I'm not saying emo is a bad thing. or a good thing for people. "Emo kids" are normally known to self-abuse. They will cut themselves. or burn themselves. give themselves bruises. or any other way of self-harm. They are known to walow in their own agony and write depressing poems about suicide and pain. Most "emo kids" are made fun of on a daily basis about their clothes or make-up. Anybody that does that is a bitch. I dont care if you're the fucking president.. you just don't do that!
emo and goth are NOT the same.
emo and scene are NOT the same.
emo and sXe are not the same.
emo and chav are not the same.
mmmmmkay?
emo is a stereotype all in its own.
all stereotyping is bad.
accept someone for who they are. not how they look.
(some a-hole) damn emo kids..
(me) shut up. they are people.
(some a-hole) but look at their clothes!
(me) look at yours! do you want to be called a fag?
(some a-hole) well no.. but..
(me) didn't think so.

Emo is a fashion and music style that originated in the 1980's. Emo music consists of screaming, and ncredibly poetic lyrics. It is short for Emotional Hardcore, as it began as a form of punk rock. Emo bands include (but are not exclusive too): My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Panic! At The Disco, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Hawthorne Heights, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Escape The Fate, Die Mannequin, AFI, The Academy Is.., Cute Is What We Aim For, Dashboard Confessional, From First To Lst, Funeral For A Friend, Rites Of Spring, Silverstien, Thrice, Thursday, Coheed And Cambria, and Underoath. Some emo, such as PATD, has been known to have a dance/techno aspect to it.
Emo fashion is far more easier to define. When it comes to hair, black is usually the staple, although any colour is acceptable (my natural hair colour is actually barbie doll blonde). Hair normally covers half the face, and is straight. Spikes in the back is also emo. Clothes are mostly black, with the odd flouresant colour (such as pink) mixed in. Emo's wear ties, and scarves in just about any colour. An emo shirt is most likely a tight fitting black t with an emo band name on it, or anything from Nightmare Before Christmas or Emily The Strange.
Pants are ALWAYS tight-fitting skinny jeans. No exception. A girl can wear a black skirt overtop, or tight-black leggings (black with skulls is better) and the skirt. Denim in this situation is also acceptable.
Shoes can be converse, or vans. Writing on them (and your jeans) adds a nice touch.
Gloves are a staple of emo, if you can get them fingerless, even better.
Emo can also take on a gothic-hybrid style. Dress shirts and lace can be your best friend. ^^
Make sure you wear thick black eyeliner, black, purple, or grey eyeshadow, and black nailpolsh. Even if your a guy. Trust me, it's hot.
Also, I will say this once, and once only. Emo does NOT mean gay, depressed, or cutting. Emo kids are just being themselves.
Poser Emo: Dude, do you see these cuts? I'm so hardcore!
Real Emo: No, you're not. Get a life, poser.

Ok so from what I have seen ppl think of emos as sad imitations of Goths, that cry all the time and are never happy. Well apparently you donβt know any1 that is emo. Yes we do cry allot and yes I have cut myself. But Iβm not always sad. I have friends that r Goth and we r easily confused. emos r kids that have been through allot and just are tired of life. if you get to know an emo, we're like any other kid. and no, cutting doesnβt hurt if your already crying.
