A sub-genre of youth culture currently sweeping the United Kingdom from the county of Cambridgeshire, soon to be established in New York as of February 2008. An amalgamation of nu rave and emo, Numo followers are identified by their passion for raving, and the severe depression that usually precedes and follows. Numo kids find happiness only in raving, when surrounded by epilepsy-inducing lights, dance/techno/rave music and others of their breed. Numos can be found in a multitude of habitats, and different behaviours can be observed. At parties, they can be found on the dancefloor, like a flock of seagulls, in groups of about 3-8. At school, they are usually seen to be quite depressed, thinking only of their next rave. Sometimes, this wait becomes unbearable, and small to large groups of Numos can be seen to rave behind the bikesheds, consuming large quantities of flourescent glow-stick liquid... and E. Occasionally, a Numo kid can be found at the center of a rave, completely motionless, with a blank expression on their face. This is known as Nu-mode, when a surge of depression washes over them, and they must battle with their own inner demons to overcome and continue the rave. If unable to win this battle, a numo is lost, and an emo is born.
