people write things bad about emos and act like they are poisen,and everyone wants to act like all we do is cut and cry and be sad. But really they are the best people you will ever meet. They dont care what others think they are real and maybe everyone should be like this cause its better than a world of preps and bitches. they dont like shallow meaningless things and do know how to have fun with thoose who understand them. wich is other emos.
bitch:"Hey sad little emo cry for me and show me your arm."
emo kid:"my arms are clean jackass"

Heres what I think -
Emos arn't depressing sad little wussies with no friends. We arn't fakes. We are humans. In fact the emos I know are perfectly happy, good friends. we wear black clothes, does that make us sad little wussies? Well I don't think so. Too many people hate emos without knowing what they are.
Emos sometimes get sad but then, everyone gets sad. That doesn't make us more sad than you

People who follow the emotional hardcore music scene. Emo is a shortening of emotional and in most cases refers to the style of music. Many people beleive that all emos cut themselves, this is not true. Yes, some emos cut themselves but so do some goths, punks and people who don't follow a particukar trend. Admittedly self harmers do seem drawn to the emo scene but this doesn't mean all emos self harm, most just dress and listen to music to try to seperate themselves from the herd.
Self harming is an act commited by people who either beleive they need punishment, find some releif from emotion through physical pain or suffer from low self esteem. I used to be emo, I cut myself once or twice but only as a response to the constant ridiculing I was subject to.
Chav: Hey, emo kid! Do you slit your wrists?
Emo: Not all emos do ya know *shows wrists with no
cuts* Do you see anything?
Chav: Yeah, I see you're an emo!
Chavs group: Emo! Emo!
*Chav and large group of friends laugh hysterically and emo leaves*

Ok, I really want to get this straight. The ORIGINAL definition of "emo" can be broken down like this:
"Emo" is short for "emotive hardcore," or "emotional harcore." The word "hardcore" is referring to hardcore punk music. Emo is a form of hardcore punk music, although after different "waves" of emo coming and going through the years, there are still some bands that differ from the original emo music that can still be defined as emo.
NOW-
the word "emo" is being used to describe the current sub-culture of the supposed genre of music that is emo, although this current subculture is often found not to listen to real emo music. It is actually true that the original subculture of emo looked completely different from what our perception is now.
Just because somebody dresses or looks "emo" doesn't mean that they cut themselves and act sad all the time. And if they do, it's not always necessarily to get attention. Depression is a real thing and should be taken seriously.
"Emo" kids should be given the same respect that is given to any other kind of person, because we are all people and deserve equal treatment, regardless of how we look and what music we listen to.
NOT real emo bands:
My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy
REAL old/new emo bands:
Moss Icon
Fire Party
Underoath

To me, emo is a word used inappropriately too much these days.
Everyone has their own definition on emo, but really emo can mean alot of different things.
Emo - A kind of music that originated from Hardcore Punk.
But what i think an emo PERSON is, it is someone who is emotional, someone who is emotional about what is happening and what they do, they are a person, not a creature from outta space. They use very touching and "emotional" words, and they care.
Emo, does not mean "wrist cutter" a wrist cutter is someone with problems, someone who has to figure out their life.
Most people judge others they have never met, rather it be they see them in the city or at school if they wear wrist bands, have a side fringe with black hair and they wear lots of black and make up they instantly think "Whoa look at that sad emo!" then go and tell their friends, without even knowing the person.
I know alot of people that dress like the above and they are the happiest people ever and i can not imagine them slitting their wrists to "hawthorn heights" or "Dashboard confessional", It's all just a big label.
If you wanna know what emo is, its basecly a word used too much to describe people that other people have never met.
Judgmental person: "OH MY GOD!!! LOOK AT THAT EMO OVER THERE!!!"
Judgmental persons friend: "Do you even know them?"
Judgmental person: "No"
Judgmental persons friend: "Then how do u know their lifestyle?"
Judgmental person: "I don't"
Judgmental persons friend: "Then why did you call them emo?"
Judgmental person: "Because they are"
Judgmental persons friend: "Do you even know what emo exactly is?"
Judgmental person: "...No..."

Life is either what you make of it or what you do not make of it. IF you're happy going thru life sad and that's your thing, OK...BUT there is a lot more out there if your attitude is that "the glass is half full" - be positive. Just cause bad stuff happened to you, don't internalize it to the point where you cannot see the good stuff all around you. Personally, I find most emo's a downer who work hard at exuding bad vibes.
emo - Trying to exude no perceptible positive emotion, trying to be sad, and internalizing their feelings. Spending time writing in a journal, creating poetry, etc. Not trying to make a contribution to the world, only themselves (ie: vanity and self-centered behavior). Ask a question - "Where does this get me...where does this help me grow as an individual?"

short for emotional. emo people tend to have really cool hair. they are emo because they either have a very traumatized life or they are spoiled little brats and dont get what they want the first time. they are almost the opposit of gothic people. goths hate everyone. emos hate themselves. goths want to kill everyone, and emos want to kill themselves. however, i have nothing against emo people. they have their own song.
have you seen the new kid in math?
yeah hes so emo.
