Perhaps I will be the first to say this. I should really be the last.

EMO is a stereotype. Certain attributes are attached to being EMO. For instance, emo children are between the ages of 13-17. Emo children listen to artists like Poison the Well, Cradle of Filth, Disturbed, Slipknot, etc etc. Emo children believe that absolutely no one understands them. They might have a bad home life and relationship issues. Their idea of dealing with it is wearing all black, they disassociate themselves with everyone, they turn up their music and they self inflict wounds on themselves. Emo children are often anti-social/slightly hermetic. They think that to be popular is to be traiterous or to be airheaded/snobby. Being emo means that you hate life or you hate the way your boyfriend looks at other girls, or you hate the way your girlfriend never shuts up about suicide or how bad they think they have it.

Maybe I am wrong.

But how many people that wear clothes that fit, have colours, listen to country, respect their elders, get straight A's, have a good relationship, get along with their parents, have a decent job, never think about suicide and are called EMO? How many? NONE!!!! This is because they have no attributes attached to the term emo, or what it means to be emo. Listen man, let it go. Emo is just a new spin on an old stereotype. Just like jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, emo is now a new stereotype that the media has catered to. If someone called you emo, suck it up and walk away. Unless you change who you are, you can not change what you are called.

Oh, everyone with mood issues suffers from being temporary emo.

I have also enclosed this link for those emo children who care to waste three minutes, or for anyone else who want to laugh at emo children.

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

the new thing in my town is "scene" like a branch of emo ;

 

[Hybrid Soldier]

[4everLP_Shinoda]

I don´t have anything against emo ppl,and in fact if I had an emo friend I wouldn´t mind.

I respect ppl for what they are and even if they are emos.

 

[ImTheOneThatFalls]

Your description of an emo stereotype doesn't sound right at all. Sounds more like a stereotype for a goth or something. Either way, if you know anything about stereotypes, they are hardly ever right.

I really don't know why people think so badly of people who are emo. I personally think they're cool.

 

[Vash_the_Stampede]

After a big break-up a few years back, I went through an 'emo' phase that lasted over 2 years. I dunno, I really can't remember a point in my life where I made fun of someone because they were 'emo'

 

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

umm.. 'emo' is just short for 'emotional'. hopefully everyone knows that ; even though if you are emo, it means way more than that. actuallly, all the "emo kids" where i live aren't emotional at all. They just dress in tight jeans and black shirts. They are all actually pretty cool. they're fun to hang out with.

 

[Hybrid Soldier]

which means there arent any emo kids where you live, if they arent emotional they arent emo

 

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

ehh... i dunno. they could be. I don't hang around them to much. The only way i can is if my sister takes me to a local show with unsigned emo-screamo bands. the kids here aren't really emo, they're scene.

 

[Hybrid Soldier]

yeah, thats what i was going to say, i actually have a scene friend

 

[acdcrules04]

it's just a fad people... it will go away.

 

[LPGirl]

well people keep calling me me emo cuz i wear my eyeliner thinker and have black streaks in my hair and only wear black shirts(cuz there slimming lol) and like emo music as well as rock, punk and metal, i do like dark stuff but im a non confomist no a emo goth or ******* anything, i love my parents, i dont think about killling myself, i dont hurt myself, and but its true most people dont understand me, people think your emo it you dye your hair dark and wear some dark colors its sooo ******* annoying *** stupid posers

 

[stupidsoul1]

lmao people here dont know what emo means, although the emo people do

most people just shrug them off as goths or punks.

 

[_deemy_]

ok now i know this is gunna sound kind of stupid.. but what EXACTLY is an emo?

people have written different things on waht they are and now im really confused.

so if anyone could clear this up that would be cool. :thumbsup:
