The other popular style of dress focuses on darker colors. Commonly seen styles include straightened, dark colored hair, dyed either black, red, multi-colored (brown and black, red and purple, etc.) which covers one eye, or an unnatural dark hue, males wearing pants tailored for females, lip, eyebrow, and labret piercings, and dark make-up on males and females (most notably black eyeliner, although red eyeshadow is becoming increasingly popular). A common accessory for both males and females is glasses with a dark coloured (usually black), thick rim, a style sometimes even worn by persons who do not require corrective eye-wear. Converse All-Star style shoes are common amongst both styles of dress, as are Vans and other skate shoes. While "emo" is often used to describe the dress and attitudes of fans of emo music, "emo" as a musical genre and "emo" as a slang term are largely separate. "Emo" as a musical genre long pre-dated the use of "emo" as a slang term. At the same time, most current bands are labeled "emo" unwillingly, largely because they share some of the fashion trends and attitude associated with "emo" as a slang term. There is also a common stereotype that associates "emo" with self-harm, most notably cutting wrists, partly due to song lyrics associated with "emo" bands, which often speak of acts of self-destruction. However, apart from the anecdotal, there is no significant evidence of any correlation between emo and self-harm.
In today's world bands like Dashboard Confessional and My Chemical Romance are considered "emo."

why cant you lot just stop talking about stuff you dont understand why cant people see that everyone is different. Believe it or not some people dress like this because they want to and most of us do have really tough lives and aren't well off but we dont complain about it we just keep ourselves to ourselves and deal with it in our own way when do you see an emo spit in the street or kick a can or yell abuse at you or graffiti everywhere unlike some people i could mention.Let me ask you a question could any of you lot hold a blade to your skin and cut it at will you couldnt,so just think about how much pain you'd have to be in to do some thing like that.
we dont do anything to upset you so why upset us and look down on us like your better and too intelligent to feel emotions and cry.Believe it or not theres this organ in the human body called a heart why dont you use it.

Those kids you see wearing tight cloths and girl pants, They like to sulk and cry a bunch (even though most of them have no real problems) write poetry and cut themselves a bunch. Many are Bi.
Emo is basicaly a sappy, crying, punk version of goth.
Emo originates from a kind of music that comes from a sappy kind of punk music that was pretty much started by dashboard confessional.
Emo stands for Emotinal Mental Outbreak.

Most people misunderstand the term "EMO".
It does not mean a teenager who thinks life is tragic and cuts him/herself for attention while listening to lame "deep" and "emotional" music.

A word whose definition has been so butchered by so many people that most people just make up their own definition of the stereotype, which is usually complete bullshit. If ANYONE wants to know the REAL, ORIGINAL definition of the word, here it is (otherwise, fuck off): a genre of music which branched off of 80's punk music to create a soft, unique form of rock. NOT to be confused with punk, metal, screamo, or alternative rock. NOT to be confused with angsty teens, boys who wear tight pants, people who are depressed, cutters, goths, or a combination of all six. I know lots of people will disagree, but I KNOW I'm right.XD (Yes, I already know that I'm a stuck-up bitch who thinks she's always right, so don't even bother telling me something I already know)
Person #1: "I've been listening to some Moss Icon lately."
Person #2: "Wow, that's pretty emo, isn't it?"
Person #1 "Damn straight."
