One of the many pointless stereotypes. Anyone who labels themselves as emo, scene, prep, or whatever are all the same. They just act different.
Get a life, and be yourself emo. I know everyone says to but you should listen. We ALL should.

One of many things people (usually high-schoolers) call themselves in order to fit in with others sharing the same "interests". Emo, punk, goth, chav, townie, gangsta, jocks, preps, all of these (and more) are words used to describe people who dress and act like others hoping to fit in. See conformist.
Ryan had no friends because all he did was cry and moan about how bad his life was. Then Ryan turned on MTV and realized if he wore makeup and dark clothes he would fit in with a bunch of pussies who call themselves 'emo'.

Depends on who you ask and what year you are talking about. In 1996 or so when I was in high school we used the term emo to refer to bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Remnant, and more well known bands like the Smashing Pumpkins. Now it is used to describe an entire MAINSTREAM culture of kids who think that they are going to get somewhere in life by being stupid. They usually talk about how counterculture they are unaware that emo is a manufactured image sold to them so that industries can make a dollar off of them by selling them records, hair products, clothing, and concert tickets.
Pete Wentz is an emo tird.

An Off Shoot Of 80's Punk, emo is basically a more femine version of punk. the word emo comes from the word emotive NOT emotional as most people seem to think. Emo fashion is generally tight jeans, long fringe with the back short, the fringes vary in colour (common colours being red, blue and blonde) but the short spikes are 90% of the time black the rest of the time they have long plantinum blonde hair. band tshirts and stripy clothing are the norm in emo fashion as is normal shirts that have been modified by them. in general emos are either christian or athiest though there are a percent who like to fancy the idea of being satanist (but fail miserable as satanism fails) emo music is made up of many good bands and also many SHIT bands...shit ones being hawthorne heights, the used and underoath. good emo bands are escape the fate, from first to last and atreyu. emo has been around for ages but it comes and goes, each time slightly different. a large percent of emo's claim to be bisexual, around a third of the time this isnt true they just think it makes them seem cool. scene emos are annoy little twats, who piss me off endlessly. true emos..not scene that is..are usually cool people once you get to know them and soem of my closest friends are emo.
Sonny moore, that kid in the corner, that dude that looks like a hot chick thats holding the bong over there...and stole my bud. Randy romance. not that kid who goes round saying hey guys look at me im emo, look my lifes so sad see i cut myself (that is a scene kid)
