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

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.

I agree with Heather really, ugh emo people are morons, same with the scene people wannabes!

really are you people naturally this stupid or do you have to try I mean SHUT UP IF YOU PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOUR TALKIN BOUT damn stereotype crap

I agree I think emos are sensitive people and I like them I like to be there to help them. and emo isnt just a music genre emo can be fashion and its good because there proud to be EMOS...and not all emos are depressed bacause I dout 4 one minute thousands ov kids can be depressed and turn emo why not go do some research just like I did you might find you like emos... and for all the people that dont like emos...GO SUK ON THIS>>>

ok people always call me emo.
what the f*ck im not emo yes I may be sad or depressed often but I've alson gone throurh a lot of sh!t,
yea I've cut but that dont mean fu*k all its my way of escaping from the world and everyones bullshit
like honstly why cant people get lives and STOP fu(k!ng judgeing people let everyone live the way THEY want to live THEIR live YOU can live YOUR life the way You want.
JUST LET ME LIVE MINE THE WAY I WANT WITHOUT BEING HARRASED AND JUDGED

emo just means your emotional.IT DOESN'T MEAN WEARING BLACK AND RED.WE WEAR WHATEVER WE WANT TO!THERE ISN'T CERTAIN MUSIC WE LISTEN EITHER,AND EMO DOESN'T MEAN YOU CUT YOURSELF IT MEANS YOUR EMOTIONAL ABOT CERTAIN THINGS!!!because I'm emo and I don't cut myself.

Emo started as a sub genre of non mainstream music which slowly evolved into a "culture", if you will. It developed a unique style and personality, b ut unfortunately it gets confused with scene. Those idiotic morons who cut themselves and crap like that while claiming to be emo just for the attention are called scene kids, and they give emo people a bad name. In case you don't already know, the term emo stands for emotional. An example of an emo band would be Jimmy Eat World. I'm glad you're one of the few people who actually cares to know what emo is instead of just bashing it over things you're not sure of. I hope my explanation helps.

all ya'll are stupid!!! do you know how emo originated? it comes from the type of music, emotional hardcore. most people like the emo's we have today listened to emotional hardcore music, and so the shortened it and just started calling them emo. no, emo's dont have to be depressed, and no, emo's dont have to cut themselves. im emo/scene. im not depressed, actually rather happy with my life. and I absolutely DO NOT cut myself. actually one of my friends (the most preppy person u'll ever meet) cuts herself. didnt think that'd ever happen didja? so do me a favor and stop labeling people.

I know its short for emotional.
they're pplez who dress...scary, not always
they have their hair covering their face
some cut their wrist...
hmm just lots to say

what the hell im 11 and im a cutter but I dont dress or act emo but I still cut myself and I think im a real person and I dont have a problem with people cutting them self

emos rule
soo if your hating on us
then fukikng burn in hell
your so mean!

"emo" is a stereotype that america has defined as "black hair with long a** bangs, tight clothes, cutting, hardcore music, etc..." but its not true. many other people say that "emo" is short for "emotional". but the truth is its just a stereotype, just like "prep" "jock" "scene" "skater" and whatever else you can think of. personally I dont let anerica define me by there stereotypical bullsh*t. emo is mostly a music genre, and the people who fallow all the stereotypical "emo" trends, are pretty much posers trying to fit in, or not fit in, or are disliked by stupid b*tches so they choose to use "emo" as a fix to be different, but have you ever noticed how they almost all look the same. find other ways to be different. or use martin luther king jr.'s quote "its the content of your character". note: this was not made to offend anyone, I dont agree with america, so dont blame me for stating what THEY think!
