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
