Most people misunderstand the term "EMO". It does not mean a teenager who thinks life is tragic and cuts him/herself for attention while listening to lame "deep" and "emotional" music. EMO-- EAT MORE OREOS
Jake: I'm feeling sooo depressed these days... Kimmy: That's so tragic. You should totally go EMO.

EMO is music. A type of Music. look it up. music Not a label. Sorry to inform you all of that sad fact. Grow up and get a life. Stop labeling people like they are cans of soup. Just becasue you cut yourself your 'emo' what about the others who do it? The Girly girls? No Black insight? What about the 'emo' kids who have pink rooms? what about all the innocent people, you hurt with one word?
Random kid cyring. Someone automatically calls them emo, and yet there's a cheerleader cutting herself in the corner.

Kids who are very depressed because they spend hours on their make-up and hair but no one gives a shit.
Get a life, emo kid.

A sub-genre of rock music closely related to punk. Other sub-genre's similar or easily mistanken to be emo could be Post-Hardcore or Pop-Punk. Emo (or "Emo Kids") also refers to people who listen to emo, (usually teenagers). The common stereotype with emo's are that they are deppressed, bisexual, fake, self loathing, dark, sensitive, and extremely associated with self harm. This is not always the case. Yes, some emo's are deppressed, but not all of them. Some are bisexual, others arent. etc, etc, etc... Those stereotypes can apply to other sub cultures, not just emo. There is a large number of emo kids that arent like that. There are quite a lot of happy, confident emo's.
Emo bands: My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional.

Just another label people use to try and catagorize people out of fear of diversity.
Person 1- That kid is so emo Person 2- Naw man! She just wears black. Labels can't describe people!
