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.

Emo

Likes dark clothes but doesn't always wear black. Don't always cut themselves. The title isn't always given by someone else sometimes they realize it first. Likes music a lot. Favorite bands are probably Mcr, FOB, P!ATD, and TOP. Almost always accompanied by a black hair tie on their wrist. Almost always seen in skinny jeans, a band t-shirt and beanie. Not completely friendless but usually only a few close friends. Doesn't usually care what other people think. Will wear pajamas to school if they want to. Emo isn't always a bad thing. Emo is short for emotional. Emo is also derived from music. Do not get them confused with goth or scene usually has eyeliner.
