-1. To Metal Heads an emo band is a band that isn't brutal enough to be Thrash Metal or Death Metal.
-2. To Punk Rockers emo bands are like punk rock bands that don't spread Anarchy.
-3. To Goths, emo bands are "emo" because things like My Chemical Romance are more angsty than The Cure; Goth
and emo are both alternative rock but aren't the same music or fashion.
-4. Emo is sometimes used as an insult towards anyone with depression.
-5. Emo is a subculture with dark clothes, bright accessories (arm sleeves, necklaces, piercings), dyed hair, eyeliner, skater shoes and music that's too expressive to be accepted by other subcultures and doesn't sound Goth.
"X" is not metal, they're Emo!
An amazing type of music. The most popular bands in the emo community are My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. We are not fucking depressed. We don’t slit our wrists. In the great words of Gerard Way get your bad vibes out of my cornflakes I am not interested.
Dumbass: Hey Sofia is emo now. Does she like slit her wrists or something?
Smart person: No! Not a lot of emos slit their wrists! One of the lines in an emo song is “Maybe it’s not my weekend but it’s gonna be my year!”
