What's on your mug?

Person who is not afraid of being who they are. Someone who is not afraid to be dark but not sinister. Someone who is hated by those who don't understand. Someone who is not afraid to feel negative emotions. Someone not fake in anyway. Unless they are a poser. Emo people are sexy people open to love and not afraid to hate. Someone free to be who they are. Not going make the same mistake as preps. which is to comform to every trend in the world. Artistic people who are very talented and know who they are. Lover of music and art. Person with very good hair. Sexy and uninhibited. Dark and scene full of emotions positive and negative. Unlike most stereotypes they are not fags, they are just who they are. Lover of being hated because it shows how insecure people in the world are.

You know it's kind of stupid and sad to see the definition of emo written about by people who not only dont like/listen to the music but dont have a clue what it is and are just writing their definitions to be funny or mock. So,to those,please get a life because to do that you abviously dont have one. Anyway moving swiftly on. The term Emo was coined from bands in the 80's that had a strong punk influence but didnt appeal as much to the violent aspect of the genre and so inturn Emo was created. It started with bands like moss icon,fugazi and teen idles and then as it progressed it turned softer with bands like sunny day real estate,braid and the get up kids. The style of emo kids back then was converse all star high tops,messenger bags with pins on the straps,gas station jackets,argyle sweater vests,thick rimmed glasses, short messy greasy black hair.Most clothes woud have been baught from a thrift store. Thats a general short description of the now dead sub culture but if you want to know more then i suggest looking at "fourfa.com"

Emo was invented in the late 80s as an attempt by white suburbanites to keep african-americans from migrating to the suburbs. The word is derived from its NSA acronym EMO (Ebony Migration Obliterator). It was designed to possess everything black people hate: irritating vocals, whiny lyrics, subdued dress style, and a complete undancability. Black people react to this music as if they were hearing nails on a chalk board and it is greatly responsible for the racial divide in suburbs today.

There has never been a black man attend a emo concert ever.

Emo is defined by a group of 14-17 year old suburban highschool students who complain about how hard they have it. Emo followers complain about how their parents make them grow up in an upper middle class enviornment. To be emo you must listen to emotional garbage pop artists such as Taking Back Sunday, The Killers, and other lame bands of that sort. An emo person will also have a myspace page set as private so they can feel like they are depriving someone from being their friend by their choice. Emo people always have extremly tight clothing mainly in the color black. They have 1/3 of their face covered by their greasy flat hair. This is believed to cover their eye so nobody can see into their tortured soul or some b.s.

An example of an emo is that loner who sits in the corner with his group of homosexual looking goths. Emo and goth are completely seperate catagories and are not to be confused with one another. Goths usually have some substance to their being and do not want approval from others. Where emo's want to act like goths but will never get the slitest amount of respect from anyone.
