emo

A subculture mainly consisting of younger people who listen to rock, metal, punk, etc. They get lot's of hate and are called fake a lot, but I can assure you, they aren't depressed because they are emo, they are emo because they are depressed. Actually, you don't have to be depressed to be emo. They mostly turn to their music to cope with their issues, for the lyrics are deeply meaningful. If people would stop making fun of these bands because they have a different sound than others and listen to the lyrics and pay attention to them, you'd find the meaning. Emos usually have a darker style of band shirts, skinny jeans, and Vans with hints of neon, and the style is less for attention and more for finding more emos like themselves. The most common emo stereotype is that they all are suicidal and cut themselves, which is extremely untrue.

1.
Person 1: Ew look an emo!
Person 2: Hey emo! Go cut yourself
"Emo": I'll cut your throat
Person 3: I'll slit your throat and fuck the wound!
*emo and person 3 fall in love because Slipknot*

2.
"Emo": (bad day) I'm gonna listen to Pierce the Veil, Black Veil Brides, and Of Mice & Men even though society calls them all emo and horrible
PTV: Darling, you'll be okay
BVB: I believe that we all fall down sometimes
OM&M: You're not alone, you're with me
PTV: I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrist
BVB: Saviour will be there when you are feeling alone
OM&M: Don’t give up, baby I know that it's shaky

emo

Emo is the feeling you get when:
- you hear the certain piano note
- you hear a heavy rain coming from north
- you spill down sugar

- you poke yourself in the eye with eyeliner
And many more.

emo

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

emo is a musical genre.

emo

Emo is an abbreviation for 'emotive hardcore punk', or 'emocore', a genre of music and a lifestyle which peaked in the 1990s. Often used nowadays as a classification for people - typically teens - who listen to rock music, are introverted and wear black and maybe have coloured streaks in their hair. Occasionally used as an insult, though emos do not take this as an insult normally.

"Hey, look at him, isn't he an emo?"
"Oh yeah, he's wearing all black and burgundy and listening to Papa Roach."
