Can anyone tell me what emo is?

could someone give me a pic of an emo style or tell me what emo really is help me please

I think its someone who wears black, dark makeup and looks like a goth but is really cheerfull and happy

Emo stands for emotional, so its the people who look bored and wear a lot of black...they think that no one understands them.

Emo,It Means Emotional.
In the 90s,It was brought up as a type of music.
In the early 2000s,Emo exploded.
Emo music contained screaming,crying,and dark lyrics,compelling self mutilation.

Now a days,Ignorant people have made the term 'emo' Into a label.A Classification.
if You Asked someone today what an Emo Kid was,Youd probably hear:

A Person who:
-Cries a lot.
-Is Depressed.
-Cuts/Burns/Harms themselves in some way.
-Dresses in black,and Red
-Listens to 'Screamo'

Honestly,I think the Term Emo shouldbe used as to music,And not a Perosn,
because judging a perosn like that is rediculous.
=]

emo kan b 2 things people who gets angry and crys or people who ut temselfs mi friend does that and I hate it!

people that cry a lot and cut themselves

thats so stereotypical... its more of a trend nowadays init

emo is a type of music.
but people have made it into another label such as punk but softer.
like generaly emo kids are just a little more emotional then others.
and some cut their wrist but a lot of people do it to fit in
which is stupid.
but anyway ehh I wouldnt worry to much about emo kids,
their no harm :]

emo is different to different people. it can be music,an emotional person,like sad, or like angry at themselfs or other people and take their anger out on themselfs by doing things like cutting!!! THINK ABOUT IT!!! Peace be with you!!! -Sentrell
