The dirty lovechildren of underground rock kids, the scene and the dying goth movement. In other words, once middle class kids raped the grunge scene, the alternative scene, and when prep was too mainstream, they had to find something else. Luckily enough, lots of bands were crappily re-doing the sixties. From this and the remnants of the goth era, ( and some actually GOOD musical inflences thrown in ), this birthed the degenerate group of whiners we all come and know as emo kids. Now, they were helped a little. High-and-mighty scene kids were their idols and Hot Topic their vehicle to awesome. Sadly, they'll never make it. And noone wants to be scene anyway. Most of those kids are in the ana community on livejournal and snort blow while listening to the YeahYeahYeahs. Anyhow, did I mention that emo kids also rise up and overtake evil establishments like Myspace and the mall, making them more evil. They also slit their wrists on a regular basis, cry to AFI songs and try to be cool by playing oldschool Nintendo. (Even though most of them weren't alive in the 80's.) They also frequent sites on the internet that make fun of them, trying to refute the obvious with bad typing, bad grammar, and overall weak arguments. However, they aren't as full of crap as furries. Noone is below a furry. Except perhaps a lolicon.
Common emo kid quotes:
" I just bought the new My Chemical Romance CD with my mom's credit card. Then I cried all night because she doesn't understand how deeply Gerard Way speaks to the world. "
" Yeah, I hate Bush because he eats and rapes babies...at least Hot Topic told me so. "
" God, life just makes me want to die. "

an emo kids is a kid that is emo. cant get much more simple than that. but contrare to popular belief most do not cut, well just their wrist for that matter, they might have crappy lives they may not. anyones life can seem meaningless if you look at it in the right direction. Also Emo people do like being alone so whats the point of bothering them just to make fun of em. like wtf. also emo kids dont call them selves emo, so if someone does theyre just looking for atention like FOB. Emo people hate being looked at so dont stare, also it's rude to stare.
"Why are you looking at that emo kid"
"Because I am a fag"

Usually 13-18 years of age, these courageous individuals constitute one of the few stable market segments in the current American economy. Fueled by a seemingly endless supply of their parents money (and the considerably less-endless amount they make working at the mall after school), these brave crusaders for capitalism will purchase damn near anything that's black, 80's pop culture themed, spiky, tight-fitting, or otherwise sold at Hot Topic. They're also some of the top consumers of mobile phone data plans in the nation.
Unfortunately this positive contribution to so many bottom lines makes it impractical to ship them all to a desert island until they grow out of it.
The emo kid's outfit cost $300, but somehow she still looked like shit.
Or
I wonder if emo kids will still buy $20 t-shirts when their mom stops paying their rent?

An emo kid, is someone who listens to emo music and wears the emo style.
For boys the emo style is:
black, or multi-Colored hair, with side bangs
tight band t-shirts, or shirts with funny slogans
tight jeans
lip ring (usually)
eyeliner (sometimes)
studded belt, or a sparkly girly belt
converse all stars (hi-top or lo-top) checkered vans, or any other type of vans for that matter.
tons of braceletes, and wristbands

chin lengh or longer hair
black or white blonde hair

studded belts, sometimes girly belts
converse all stars (hi-top or low-top) checkered vans or any other type of vans

Emo Kids usually dress in the style stated above and they listen to emo or screamo music. Examples of emo and screamo bands are:
dashboard confessional, taking back sunday, alexisonfire, juliana theory, silverstein, etc.
Please note:
Emo Kids aren't always depressed, they don't all have eating disorders, and emo does not mean you are a cutter.
'Normal' Kid: Hey! Look its Jill the stupid depressed emo girl!
Jill/Emo Girl: I AM NOT DEPRESSED!!
'Normal' Kid: Why do you listen to songs that say cut my wrists then you stupid cutter?
Jill/Emo Girl: I like the music...its the same as you listening to songs saying I shoot hoes...just because a song says something doesn't mean the person who listens to it copies it...so go away now.
'Normal' Kid: Okay then (mumbles under breath) stupid emo kids

Annoying adolescents and/or teenagers who insist they are "depressed" but in reality, just want attention. They usually tend to listen to music that involves skinny guys whining and "screaming" about things that supposedly have deep meaning. The drummers of these bands often try to look cool by using a double bass pedle (stop kidding yourselves, you suck). They tend to make fun of any other genre of rock music and only like bands (especially underground ones) until they become popular. Once they're popular "they suck".
They can't admit that they bought an article of clothing in hot topic b/c that would make them a "poseur". <Newsflash: you're a poseur if you shop there and THEN do not admit that you do.>
They also mosh like pussies. If you're going to go into a pit, fucking stop swinging and actually mosh or else you WILL get knocked the fuck down.
Simply put, they just need to stop crying and actually try to see all the great things that they DO have in their lives, instead of whining about that girl who dumped them in 7th grade.
All the little emo kids I hang out w/ are so annoying. All I ever hear them talk about is how great a new band is that no one has ever heard of.. by next week everyone will know all of that band's songs by heart and then no one will like them a week after that.

someone who used to like punk and ska and make fun of emo but then everyone turned emo so they started 're-evaluating life' and wallow in depression. does a lot of name dropping in references to band. beleives in scene points. assures you they listened to any band before you did. when you admit you listen to said band, they admit they don't listen to said band anymore because they got too popular. also quotes obscure lyrics in aim profile, hangs out on friendster, and fits into nothing but youth large or adult small, regardless of body type, and hands always go in the back pockets. carabiner key chains help too.
that kid, standing in the back, in the dark, with the big glasses, and the haircut that looks like he cut it himself... such an emo kid
