What are emos and are there any here?

What do emos were? are there any emos here?

I'm not emo but I know what they wear they will wear black nail polish and black hair and black clothes pretty much every thing black

There's trendy, and then there's Emo.
Trendy- Hot Topic girl pants, slim-fit t-shirts/one size too small, Chuck Taylors, hair but by themselves in 'Emo fashion' (I.e., short in back, longer in front covering the eyes. The reverse mullet). Toss on some eyeliner, a sad attitude and you have your basic, trendy Emo kid.
Okay, and now for the non-trendy Emo kid description: Cheap clothes from a thrift store that are too small (girl pants, yet again, but not the jeans from Hot Topic), home-made shirts, hardcore (as in genre) band shirts, punk band shirts, maybe toss in some Bauhaus.
Emo kids are pretty much the reject Goth kids of the suburbs. They have no plight, no bad lives. They're just sad that they don't get to have a new(er) car when they turn 16. Emo kids are a spin-off of the Goth/Punk scene from the 1980's. Thank you My Chemical Romance, The Used, Atreyu, and so on. (Basically, the entire line-up of the Warped Tour 2005 contributed to the Emo Kid craze.)

I'm emo

I don't lable myself but people use to consider me emo..now they consider me glam rock lol...I have a lot of emo friends tho...and there not that bad lol..just people judge them a lot based on what they wear..most people look at emo kids but they dont really see...

Emo people have a certain sense of style, and I suspect that because there are so many questions on the web about people wanting to be emo,
that most
emo kids today
are probably posers! >_<
Emo kids are sometimes depressed; NOT always
they are highly emotional <3
and
as a

Postcript, Emo guys are HOTT, but they tend to be caught kissing other emo guys,
if anyone can tell me WHYYY
please Funmail me
^_^

I think emo guys are cute. I love their hair and even a bit of their makeup and jewellry. Like Christ Angels.

I love emos but emo means 'emotional'.They cut theireselves and wear black nail polish and eye liner/mascara.More than likely they have long hair that covers their eyes and they like to skateboard.Also wear black a lot aaand have a lip ring but if they are younger they probably wont have one : p Thats the way I see things now.Like the one in the pic ^-^

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.

Hi im an emo and if you want to no what they were then its simple, if you want to be an emo then just get a black top really tight jeans and sum converse or DC trainers.If you want accecories then all you need is a studded or thick belt and sum wrist bands and stuff. hope it wurks for you from Faye x.x.x

well, first off all emos dont cut themselves and cry. its their choice if they want to. well, im not emo but, emos are emotional (at least some are), they wear black, black nail polish, eyeliner/mascra. and emos are around. some also skateboard. so yea, thats what emo is. and emo is also a genre/style of music. like rap, hip hop, etc... so yea.

Emo is a music genre, but it seems to me that these days its been used a stupid label associated with self harm and depression.

To be honest, its one of the most pathetic labels ever. Its better to be yourself.

Wearing tight jeans, liking my chemical romance and crying doesnt make you emo. I dress like that and feel like punching anyone who calls me it. haha.

yeh I am an emo. but my pic is soo old with my brown hair!

I wear black nailpolish, have black hair my fringe is over one of my eyes, I mainly wear black, red and purple. listen to emo/rock/punk/metal/hardcore hehe we could go on for a while
I have cut myself before (not encouraging anyone to rofl)
I think thats it hehe

I am considered emo because I wear balck clothes and eyeliner..

To be emo you do not have to
That is called being a 'cutter'

probabaly. emos are everywhere. but dont diss emos. the depressed ones are posers, drug abusers or attention seekers
