A whiny little bitch feeling sorry for themselves, hates the government (with a passion), wears retartedly tight clothes, especially pants and often wears a ridiculous amount of checkered stuff. (Dont forget the half-bleached hair). They serve no purpose and should all be sent to a remote isolated island so they can cry and cut themselves to Fall Out Boy, Panic? At The Disco and My Chemical Romance (among others). Usually will never admit being emo and will become increadibly defensive and occasionally violent when called emo (usually embarassing themselves because they have a blood loss due to too much cutting).

Wow, Richard is so emo, have you seen the words "Fall Out Boy" that he cut into his arm?

Emo doesn't mean a trend where people where tight pants, or listen to sad or depressing music. It also doesn't mean an angsty or up-tight person. It isn't a fad, it's a word. Emo isn't a word to describe someone who cuts themselves, it's someone who is "EMOTIONAL". Doesn't mean that they are going to kill themselves or they are gay, it means they express their emotions outloud. It doesn't mean they walk around with their friends and call themselves emo. Those people aren't emo, they are trying to be part of the scene.

That boy just shared his emotions with me, and told me in a direct fashion, he can be considered emo. (Correct) He cuts himself, he must be emo. (Incorrect) He cuts himself, he must be depressed/trying to act cool.(scene)

Emo started off as a type of music, but not its stemmed into fake people who live on fake emotions and spend too much time on the computer, and MySpace. They're attention seekers, and each one is a sheep, they each follow each others trend. They claim to be unique, but all look the same. (Like they have a dead cat on their head) The boys are confused about their sexuality. (and sex, they're typically feminine) And the girls look like prostitutes. Whatever happened to guys looking masculine nowadays? No-one understands why they get so depressed. Most of the ones many people talk to have great things: like a widescreen TV, latest gaming console out, yet have an "excuse" for being depressed. Emo's accuse us of not understanding them when they don't bloody tell us! You ask them what's wrong, they say "oh, nothing" and insist on not telling us because they don't HAVE an excuse. Funny thing is, in 10 years, they'll look back and think "what the bloody hell did I look like?!" They complain they get bullied, but looking like that, how can you blame the bullies? How these sad-acts can walk outside in public, I do not know.

Emo: My online boyfriend didn't say "love you" I'm so depressed, I'm quitting MSN. Person with life: Talk to you tomorrow, then.
