What is "Emo"?

[tsc]

emo is actually a synonym for gay...

Oh you card your.

[mr.mag218]

i wanted to dye my hair black, and get my lip peirced, and aparently thats emo. but prevent your kids from being emo by.....beating them when their hair gets long, don't feed them when they listen to "my chemical romance" and stick to the usual swinging of sticks that are on fire, bongo's, and grassy loin cloths.

i think of them as a sub divison of punks but really gay. I hate emo music, always complainting. So thats why i prefur ska and hardcore punk who dont complaine of not being loved. Best example of an emo band is Good Charleot. Tight pants don't neccesarly mean emo, some of my ska friends where tight pants(not me i like them loose).

Goth = will fight back and fight dirty in a fight
Emo = will curl up in a ball and wonder why noone likes them as they get pommelled

Thanks, lather, for starting this thread. I've been mildly curious about this, too, but never motivated enough to actually ask.

Thanks Maggot6 & slade for giving good, helpful answers.

Thanks, Lohman, for that last funny if slightly cruel image.

actually, Emo was a band with that took up wearing those clothes and accessoriers. they kinda sucked so they didn't last. they were kinda known in chicago a bit, i still will sometmies hear Emo on the radio, but they didn't last. it is a offshoot of punk and goth. taking the panzyiest parts of both and mashing them up into a new subculture.

Emo entails wearing pants so tight the possibility of having children is greatly reduced.

And ya'll talk about it like it's a bad thing.

Thanks for the helpful answers all was something I was wondering about for a while!

yea emo kids tend to walk around with their arms around their stomachs acting like they are fat but they arent
infact some people consider them "metro" which I dont
ex. of hair
ill bring the camera to school to get some

In other words, Emo = Teenager

dude thats the biggest stereotype since like asain people are short......
not a good analogy but hopefully you get the point
Like theres only 40 emo kids at a school of 2,500

i think they're wanna be goths with tight clothes........

eghh that pretty much sums it up....

a few years ago i was told i was emo. i was like, sweet, i am cool. but then i thought about it, and realized that was lamesauce. i never dressed, acted, looked, or had anything to do with them. i never understood.

Eh they are all posers ... just remind them that this is the original Emo;

If someone told me i was Emo, I would seriously consider ending my life...but would that create a catch 22? Oh god...
