Emo

A relatively new form of douchebaggish behavior (sometimes, a complete lifestyle) where usually well off teens ignore the fact that they can be an individual without having to look stupid to get attention. The "look" can involve multi colored scarfs which don't match a damn other article of clothing worn, even leg warmers have been seen, multiple piercing's seem to be a must, the ever enlarging earlobe hoops which can get so big you can stick an erect penis in them, dyed hair of any color, and once again, it won't even match the scarf, and it's only part or parts of the hair, usually the front or top. Then the hair is cut in different ways, almost always it is combed to an angle across the face, sometimes covering an eye. Goofy glasses, men with makeup, women without, lots of black outfits, wristbands that actually may match the scarf, but seriously doubt it.

Kid to parent- "hey, look at that person with the green hair, and why are they wearing winter clothes, it's July?"

Parent to kid- "Remember when you asked me what emo was?"

Emo was marked in the year of 1984 when the band Rites of Spring started to play in Washington, D.C. these songs gave heart-wrenches of woe which woe means sorry, lost, distance, grief or that someone was hurt real bad.Emotional Punk Music started in the e. 1900's that grew nationwide that teens grew hunger for songs with guitar solos that were loud and piano or keyboard riffs. Punk music is also positive showing that others can be hurt by words or things just done. Emos can show good messages too...not just about pain and suffering. Actually today about 73% of known emos are energetic, upbeat,happy,hyper, yet some may just smile all the time cause they just love the emo sense of style or emos that rarely smile but if you say something funny you could get a smile and a laugh. 18% of emos are sad, emotional, cutting, self-blamming teens but its not like they can't smile or laugh in awhile.

emo

Right i've had enough of this bull shit!. If you all think that so called emo's are attention seekers and that they're lives aren't tough then i've got something to change your minds. A few months ago my frinds mum left home deciding that she didn't love my friends dad anymore and she is the only girl in the house now and so she has to bring up her brothers care for them and her father, clean their clothes and do all the work around the house and look after their many pets.And she still goes to her college and goes to work and then has to come home and do more.I am her only real friend.

Yes she did cut herself at one point and she listens to rock music because the lyrics pull her through all the shit life throws at her and she can relate to the music and if you think about it the reason why so called emo's listen to rock is because the lyrics are about things that effect the so called emo's like self harm, family trouble, and love. Instead of all that chav music which is about killing other people. A lot of teenagers have jumped on the band wagon and called themselves emo's but if you ask them the real ones never actually wanted to be called that at all they just wanted to deal with things their own way. i think you will find that the majority of these kids are having family trouble and i agree with definition numer 45, could you cut yourself just for the sake of it.i've cut myself before when i had some serious problems in my life and i know that no matter how much a person wants to be liked they couldn't put themselves through that pain (trust me cutting yourself hurts a lot) a great man once said 'i think sometimes you have to sort of die inside in order to rise up from your own ashes'

so next time you go to put the girl with the cuts on her arm down just think about my friend and what she has to go through everyday she doesn't have '2 loving parents, a comfortable and stable home enviroment or friends'.
