The wrong term for "emo kids." Emo is NOT short for emotional, as many people may think; it is an abbreviation for "emotive." Many people make the mistake of pointing to a group of kids with tight pants and long side bangs and exclaiming, "OMG look at those emos!!!" That's basically the same thing as saying, "OMG look at those emotives!" or "OMG look at those depresses!"
Incorrect:
Girl: "Those emos at that table are lame."
Correct:
Girl: "Those emo kids at that table look depressed."
Girl: "Those emos at that table are lame."
Correct:
Girl: "Those emo kids at that table look depressed."

Get the EMO mug.Emo began as a music style in the '90's, and has become associated with bands like My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy etc. It became a style that mostly (NOT ALWAYS) focuses on the vintage-look (retro brand names etc). Being emo myself, you're all gonna think 'OMG IT'S AN EMO, SHE'S, LIKE, GONNA BE, LIKE, OMGWTFBBQ MY LIFE SUCKS EMO'S RULE THEY'RE SO HARDCORE OMG LMAO' or something like that. (I'm not taking the mick out of anyone, I swear. Sorry if I offended someone.) I'm not depressed all the time, I'm not always writing dark poems about life, and I'm not anorexically skinny (I laugh about that).
Why is emo associated with self-harm? Just because some people decided that any depressing self-destruction music MUST be emo?
Emos are usually, as far as I know, into the retro emo bands that began the emo craze, and the more modern bands like Panic! @ The Disco etc. The most common feature of emo is the hair with a side-parting. The bangs are NOT always covering one eye, NOT always dark, NOT always straight, NOT always shaggy for boys and NOT always short for girls.
The thing I've noticed that made me laugh about people's descriptions for emo boys was that they all wear trousers fitted for girls. WHAT A CROCK. I've never seen an emo boy dressed in trousers that are fit for girls. It would look a bit dumb, I mean, with the hips and all. So what if the trousers might be tight? It doesn't mean they're for girls! SERIOUSLY STRANGE. But if there is an emo boy who wears girls trousers, SORRY.
Another big thing for emo is the gloves/bracelettes and scraves. NOT everyone wears them but it's pretty common, from what I've seen.
I AM NOT AN EXPERT. This is my opinion and it's not always right! Emo is a fashion sense that may have stereotypes but not all emos follow them. Who can tell me they know EXACTLY what the emo fashion is? Anyone? I don't think even emos can really tell me.

Him: Everyone says I'm not emo because my hair isn't cut across and isn't dark
Her: Stereotypes are fun, lets point and laugh
*Him and Her both point and laugh at the steroetypes dancing on the ceiling*

Get the Emo mug.Emo is someone who has a fringe that covers one of their eyes, wear a T-shirt with a logo, tight jeans and wears eyeliner.
They often listen to bands like Lostprophets and My Chemical Romance.
Many people think that they want to die, and that they cut themselves, cry in dark corners etc, but they DON'T! Emo's are the nicest people that you can talk to. All of my friends are emo, and they do dress like an emo, and so do I but there is nothing wrong with them.
Emo is also a genre of music.
