pseudo-emo

Somebody who pretends to be emo, or makes up false stories about their sucky life. Usually tend to be 12-14, but there are numerous pseudo-emos who can be found in a higher age range. In difference to someone who actually has something like depression, or a disorder that singles them out, pseudo-emos act solely for attention.

Teenager 1: Joe told me his dad beat him last night so he cried so hard and then cut his wrists!
Teenager 2: Yeah, too bad I've known Joe since he was five and his dad is really nice. And his wrists look very untouched for something that happened last night. He's just the classic pseudo-emo kid.

pseudo-neo-emo

What a modern day 'emo' really is. Emo music is actually defined by such bands as Rites of Spring, and was really just another subgenre of hardcore punk. Today's pseudo-neo-emo is just a digusting individual who looks at livejournal, cock-in-hand whilst crying about nelson mandela's death. Irony, it's a virtue.

emo: I enjoy my subgenre of hardcore punk
pseudo-neo-emo: *cuts wrist* oh how my life sucks so much that I steal my 'scene' from an already poor subgenre of punk.
true punk: 'oi, anarchy yeah!'
normal person: right.
