What's on your mug?

Emo is linked to a various number of things...... However most of these aren't true. Emo is not a hairstyle, a clothes style or even a youngster cutting themselves. Emo is a lifstyle. Although some may cut themselves. More than likely they dont. Emo is a younger generation of not-so-understood teens that get noticed by dressing and actied differently. This has been around since the 80's but has not been recognized until the new millenium. We are not wanna be Japanease people and we are not pussies. Most of us are stronger than preps and jocks (emotionally of course). We don't like being targeted for who we are and certainly dont like being called obscene names such as earlier mentioned pussy.We want to be respected and left alone as you would want. We are not a style of music as many of you think. We are a society in ourselves, and if your nice we won't kick your ass and hook your intestines up to our car batteries and drag you behind our car!

A true emo is very moody. They are happy one minute and suicidal the next. We are very quiet around new people and dont get along with preps or chavs very well. We have a very wide range of music tastes. Most people think we like bands like Bullet For My Valentine and My Chemical Romance(FYI MCR IS NOT EMO!!!,THEY ARE ALTERNATIVE!!!) But we can listen to different music like Fegie, Jeffree Star, and Tupac Shakur (Who was emo)

What you can claim to be if you have a photo of yourself frowning, while your hair is in your face. This transcends race, class, creed, city, state, country, planet, gender, social status, musical tastes, elevation, religion, clothing choices, sexual orientation, internet connection, political affiliation, and whether your belly button is an "innie" or "outie"(innies are slightly more emo, though).

Me: Hey, check out that emo guy. Jeff!: Uh, no, wrong. He’s smiling. And also, tragically, sporting a mullet. Therefore, you fail. Me: He... he's a reverse-emo, then. He's "ome". Jeff!: Backward hair isn't backward vocabulary, you uncompromising bastard. Me: Sigh.
