What is emo?

Hey guys,what the real meaning of emo?How emo dress like?And what are some emo bands?

what the f*ck!! Yall have a problem with emos? Their people 2. They just have more serious problems. your acting like thee freaks, or a type of musc. An there is nothing wrong with cutting urself!

There is no such thing as 'emo'. I am called 'emo' every day, jusy because I wear black, have long black hair, and I used to be a rather depressed person. People that are considered 'emo' are usually depressed, look gothic, or are rather anti-social. Bands people consider 'emo' are My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Fall-Out Boy, and Marilyn Manson. Hope I could help. =)

Emo is supposedly all the red and black, sidefringe and slitting your wrists while listening to my chemical romance.
But thats all crap.
Emo was originally an abbriviation for a genre of music, EMOtive rock, but then it morphed into a stereotyping word.

wow do you like want to be emo or something? its really sad that you want to label yourself like that. emo is a stereotyping word that means basically depressed cutter. CUTTING IS NOT A FAD it is a disease. I hate how its all 'in style' now. thats so stupid.

emo is dressin in black they cut themselves and like preschool tea party massacre,as blood runs black,I killed the prom queen,job for a cowboy if you want more info ask me

for short emo mean emotianal

Wow.

I know many 'emo' people. Not all of them cut themselves. Just because you cut yourself, that doesn't mean your emo. 'Preppy' kids can cut themselves. ANYONE can. It doesn't make you emo.

And FYI..

Emo is a type of music.
Not a label.

REMEMBER!!

LABELS ARE FOR SOUP CANS NOT PEOPLE!!

Yeah, emo was originally EMOcore music, not emotional or emotive. And the cutting is B.S.

EMO...The first time I heard that I don't have an idea what that's suppose to mean. Some of my schoolmates & classmates claim to be EMO...according to some it means EMOtional...some says

Emotional
Music
Overdose

I bet that the real EMO is related to music...but people who are called EMO are usually in black, rather depressed and sometimes rebellious people, listen to rock music like My Chemical Romance songs, their long black hair over their face (at least covers half of the face), wears dark black eyeliners(at least that's what I've obsered from those claiming to be EMO)...and the worst...wrist cutting...

My 'EMO' friend always cuts her skin using blade...and that's not just right...

I really am not into being 'one of them'...

But originally, EMO doesn't refer to people but to music...just don't know how it happened to be a stereotyping word now...

IM GETTING PISSED NOW!!
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS NOT EMO!!!
it really isnt people
everybody says that emo people listen to mcr
and all theyr songs are emo
but thayr not
get the facts
I bet all the people that just commented that sayd mcr is emo dont even listen to them
and maybe half of you dont evn know what emo means
and emo isnt a style its a life choice or a music genre formed I think the in 80's

There is a such thing. Just for the record, emo's are just emotionally disturbed people. the look into small things that you wuldnt even think of, there sensitve, and they feel like there is nomeaning in life. they cut so they can see if there is pain, which there isnt. Just because people cut and dress like emos doesnt mean there emos. emos have real problems, real feeling, unlike all of you son of a beaches

xxaloneinlifexx is right. I know it came from music and everyone goes around telling me that im not a label and like insulting me! ya know, my friends tell me im emo but im not the one claimin it! so if they tell me im emo well I have to live with it and that is that! its my choice if I want to be emo or wathever I want so quit judgin peopleee!!! you dont know if they have problems or feel alone or feel rejected by you guys and you make it worse when you hurt them with all your talking about emo being somethin ridiculous and maybe when you hear the word 'emo' you first think of cutting. well im telling you that im emo and I DONT CUT MYSELF!!! that doesnt make you emo! so the people that like going around sayin that emo or goth or punk or anything is something for childs or its something stupid well shut your mouths because it really hurts! so please stop doin that. it only makes it worse. ok im done. I think its confusing what I wrote but if you dont like it then go to hell...

I have not heard about Emo before now, and I think it is a very sad thing to be one, or to want to be one. If you are a Emo, go see a doc...you need it.

okay
first off
dont do friggin research on 'emo' just b/ because you think its a friggin fashion statement
emo is a music genre NOT A FASHION SENSE
and
I am so sick of people labeling themselves just to fit in
if its not u
dont even try

btw
MCR is not an emo band

STAY AWAY from the world of steorotyping NOW before it's to late :O

It doesn't matter how you dress. It doesn't matter how you look. All that matters is how you FEEL. If you are emotional and sad. If you are a dreamer and wish for things that give you a heart ache when you think of them because you don't think it is possible for you to get. THAT is emo. THAT is what we're about. NOT dressing black. It is not what we display ourselves as because that can always be a mask, covering up ouselves.

if you cant see the pic then heres what it says 'go ahead and freakin diss all the little emo kids. just remember they dont care what think of them. biotch... lol

lol that pic is true... but if your emo your sad & you just dont give a sh*t not all emos cut && just because you cut doesnt make you emo && why does everybody hate emos ...because they r [different] in my oppian emo are people 2 they just think different && what if people started hatin the preps or the jocks or anybody else it wouldnt fell so good would it ?... && btw there is a BIG difference between rockers punks sk8ers goths && emos **remember** that people

Emo hair becoming Very Popular with Emo Kids
emo hair has sharp edges and shapes. It does not always have bangs, but it usually does have some chunky sections twisted or pulled in a direction that conflicts with the rest of the hair. Girls and guys have emo styles of hair, and they are pretty much the same. Girls might have longer hair than guys, but they usually do not have hair past their shoulders.

=] hope I helped,trust me I'm a REAL emo none of that poser bull crap!

Emo's can dress in any colors, not only black! they can even wear preppy style clothing. Just because you look EMO doesnt mean you are. and you people telling EMO people to go see a doctor need to shut up! some EMO's have deep emotional damage and have a hard time or a big fear of talking to someone about that. EMO's are emotional people, not only people who cut themselves (which you dont have to do that to be EMO). so stop being jerks and giving advice on things you dont know about or understand. If your not EMO you cant understand what EMO'S go through

emos are people that are over stressed and cant find happyness inside, they like to dress in black because they feel any other colors will make them look like a fagit, they wear there hair long because there afraid people might see them crying and they cry because noone likes them and theyre afraid they may be too different, so they lock up there emotions, :meaning: emos. emo bands are very easy to find, just look up emotional bands, youll find them, I listen to emo christian bands like flyleaf. and theres a emo band that a lot of peope know about called evanscene, very popular.

emo is roughly translated into fag...its real easy to be emo...make it seem like life is terrible, b*tch bout it enough, cry here and there, and make everyone that comes in contact with you want to punch you in the face

Emo is defined in several ways.
But let's face it... everyone these days are too stupid to admit that emo has now become a trend, and no one's taking it seriously any longer.
Also, all those people who claim it's a music genre? Screw that, no one believes it's just a music genre anymore, it's now become a label, and anyone's who not a total blonde should know that.
