What's on your mug?

OK Now every Chav,Townie etc thinks emo is a person who cries all the time then cuts themselves and lives in self pity well sorry to tell you 89% of the teenage population(this is just a rough estimate it is probably higher) you are wrong!Emo's do not cut themselves a few do but then again so do chavs and goths and skaters and grebs and townies now just because emo's listen to heavier music than r & b(puke) or rap(even worse) etc it doesn't mean they cut themselves and wallow in self pity no the thing most people have failed to realize is that emo is just a music genre and fashion style. The emo bands that are still going include: Funeral for a friend, Clash of the sirens and the haunts (there are a lot more) also i recommed going to see all of those bands they are all awesome I saw them in May. So I leave you with this emo is a subculture of the more widely known goth it is only a fashion statement and genre of music.

chav: Go cut yourself you goddamn Emo go slit your wrists *emo is thinking* All these chavs are telling me to slit my wrists I would say something but theres too many

emo is a slang term used to describe teenagers today. it is popular to be emo because of the all the radiant attention you get from it,guys wear skinny jeans,have jet black hair(sometimes brown-dark brown),can barely see through their hair and are always flicking it to see clearly,they consider this sexy. girls love emo guys and only date them,it was first a catch of the millenium now it's so normal you can practically marry one without hassle. mp3/ipod lists my chemical romance,panic! at the disco,afi,fall out boy and some other random unknown 'emo' bands to show how intellectual they are. emo kids are faking,not a single real one exists anymore,if they dye their hair,they're faking. emo is practically over now,people consider it embarassing and are desperate to either cut their hair or grow their hair back again....sad,when they were the ones bragging 'emo 4 life'... my question....what's next?

emo kid: i totally regret doing this now...(chucks out mcr cd) emo girl: i can't wait to grow my hair again...what was i thinking? former emo kid: i hate emos they are so gay and dumb and...(you get the idea)

EMO doesn't stand for anything, and it isn't anyone in particular, nor is it a group of people. It once was, as many people have already stated, a genre of music, now it is used to refer to those people who don't fit into the categories we have created. just because we do not understand one person does not mean we have to class them then throw away any last remaining thoughts of them. one day we should approach one and ask whether they are okay, maybe you'll be pleasantly suprised by the lack of stereotypical comments in their reply. Some people have been through hard times, some people don't know HOW to cope with what is happening to them, why don't we, instead of shunning them, help them and then maybe there won't be any need for this utterly pointless category. Cutting-isn't necessarily a characteristic of "EMOhood", its a phase of life, and sometimes an outlet of frustration and pain. would you prefer them to take their anger out on others?

Random person 1:Man, you're EMO... "EMO": *thwack!* Moral: Don't stereotype others, especially when you can't, or don't, stereotype yourself.

Short for emotional. There is also the music label "Emo", and that too is also emotional. Emos can be straight, gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Emos aren't necessarily weird because they're different from you. Some emos dress like goths. It really doesn't matter about what you wear. It's all about how you act. ALSO: If an someone cuts him/herself, and they're only doing it for attention, THEY ARE NOT EMO. I've cut myself, not for attention though. It felt better than crying. Mainly it's a label. Other people may label you, or you can label yourself. Some emos are suicidal. Some are just emo because they have the mental illness called depression. Don't judge emos, they don't deserve it.

Online: Emo: I feel so sad today... Why does this always happen to me?! It seems like nothing good ever happens to me!! *cries* A happy, cheerful, maybe preppy person: Ah, today sucked. Oh well. There's always tomorrow!! *smiles cheerfully*
