What is an Emo?

just a stereotype. usually the misfits or outcasts of high school. said to listen to hard rock, cut themselves, have black or crazy colored hair, wears dark make-up...

others on here will answer that emo is also a type of music.

Ok. Thanks!

ok thats wrong im emo its just a person mentaly off I do cut im not an outcast I dont listen to kock music but we are mostly sad and have been hit by someone I was raped by someone I dont know I tried to find hm but it didnt work out so well and now im sad all the time I just cant shake the feeling but its just a person (extremly mentaly off) (emo)hello

you cant explain emo its just there you cdant be like oh yeah im so emo the truth is no one knows wht emo is except the emo people which the are very few of us out here

being emo isnt all that bad ok

From the way you explained it it sounds horrible. I am not saying this to be mean but maybe you should see psychiatrist. It may help you to be able to talk about your problems to someone. I hope I dont get cussed at for writing this but I really am not trying to be smart about it. I just want to help.

emo cut themselves , wearing crazy colored shirts ,punk belts , long hair and they have really sad stories. They usually write poems , sad stories!

Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music which describes several independent variations of music with common stylistic roots.

well emos dont cut themselves...everybody who says they do are retarded...emo is mainly a style of music...it was envented a long time ago emotional hardcore music' is were it came from... its also a style. just like punk, goth, prepp, whatever...its another music genre and fashion style thing. the style is usually black hair half over the face, tight black pants, ect,ect. but emo people wear other things ot can look completly different to the steriotype everyone thinks is right. as well as that is also used as an insualt by simple minded idiotic twats!

Ugh...y? F*ck...y? why are there so many kids sayin they are emo? Or thinking that you can BE emo?

Emo stands for Emotional Punk, a branch off of Punk Rock in the mid-80s, and early 90's. A MUSIC GENRE.

you CAN'T BE EMO. THIS IS NOT AN OPINION, ITS A FACT. STOP CALLING URSELVES OR OTHERS EMO. The whole idea of a stereotype of a person who cuts themselves(a lie) listens to dark music(also a lie) and dresses in the style now known as emo is the most retarded idea I have ever heard of.

Hope I made some sense

well I do believe emo, is not merely about those weird or the outcast type of person.
its really on your personality.. being emotional, is what it is..usually, emo's are really having those different kind of problems which made there view in every aspect of life a litle bit dramatic, but you cant blame them cause its their own choice. I tried to be one before, its not about the fashion, its more about the feeling, how you handle and carry yourself, I just realized that I cant really be an emo cause I cant stand a day without even trying to smile..hope this helps!! lol

OK emo means lots of things.
1 its a music genre
2 Its a fashion
3 It means someone is emotional
Some peope think emo means that you cut yourself but thats nothing but self distruction.

they cut them selfs my sis is emo

cheer up Emo kid

like a goth, only a lot less dark, and much more Harry Potter =) I'm emo! but I dont cut myself, and I'm not always depressed!! I like to have a lot of fun
