1. Emo is short for emotive hardcore, a style of post-hardcore music. It has deep lyrics, sloppy riffs, etc. Most people think of My Chemical Romance or Black Veil Brides as emo music, but that is actually emo-pop. Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Secondhand Serenade are real emo.
2. Emo is a style. Most emo people wear band tees, skinny jeans, studded belts, Converse, and choppy hair. This DOES NOT define emo, however.
3. Emo is a feeling. Deep, quiet, and sensitive people are more often emo. Emo is not about cutting, crying, and depression. Anyone who says “I’m emo cuz I cut and shop @ Hot Topic!!!” is a poser.
Goth, scene, skater, and even gangster are sometimes confused with emo.
emo-pop=the movielife, jimmy eat world, the get up kids (sometimes), fall out boy, midtown
BVB=glam not emo pop
oh and early MCR is emo. i bet you have never listened to their first album. it actually is why they got called emo. it sounds kinda like rites of spring.
MCR is NOT emo! They sang about snowflakes for Christ’s sake! They are an amazing //PUNK-ROCK// band. Both me and my best friend are major fans, Trust me, they are not emo.
Its helpful in the sense that it describes a fairly wide swath of interpretations of the term, leaving me with the simple acceptance of its original description for a sub genre of punk music that is ’emotional’. As for all the interpretations beyond…it seems like there is a good deal of wide interpretation.
emo is a style most teens are emo
alot of people cut there self but however its how they are feeling
emo is emotional and they dont wear just black they also wear yellow blue purple pink etc basically the rainbow
Being Emo myself gives me experience but also i know that not a lot of people cut themselves and whomever you heard that from lied about 2 out of ten emos actually cut and the rest are just the style and the music they are basically posers wanna be’s and so know you know
I think more young people need to read and learn as well as have a social life and talk about being emo and such. One person who was commenting on the meaning of emo said, “alot of people cut there self.” The word “there” refers to a place. The pronoun “themselves” should have been used instead of “there self.” I am not being critical, just disappointed in the educational system in this Country. The United States ranks thirty-one in the world.
Emo is a life style. More people are against emos than racists. It is pretty sad, but is just the realityof how things ars today. Emo people do often tend to cut themselves, but not always. Through the years emos have been super misunderstood. If u r thinking of going emo, be prepared to be made fun of . We are often called fags, cutters, and other horrible things. If you think about it, you have been emo your whole life, it’s just now you’re choosing to let it show. Seattle is a place portrayed as highly populated with emos. Never let anyone get you down. We are an Army and united we stand. If you shop at Hot Topic, just for the record, it doesnt mean youre a poser! Hot Topic has a wide variety of band shirts and is in nearly every mall. The employees are usually super nice and items are often easy to find. 🙂 Hope this helped!
Me to, I love green day, MCR and stuff like that and I’m called emo and gothic because ppl don’t even know what it means but even I have to admit I am a little bit emo and misunderstood. I cut and I’m super depressed, but bands like bvb, mcr and gd have helped me thorough tough times and Tbh I might not even be alive right now if it wasn’t for music. So yeah I know other ppl who cut and most of them aren’t emo.
Hello, i am emo my self. emo isnt something you should be afraid of. we r harmless. being emo is how u r, ur not emo if u just say i cut and i shop at hot topic and you are all up beat and happy, no that makes you a big time poser and its hurt full cause ur basically making fun of us. if you are think in of going emo, think long and hard. if u do become emo, well WELCOME to the army. 😉 hope this helped
Dude I like the. Color black and I wore all black yesterday and have fake scars on my arm which was a prank and alof a sudden I’m emo ghosh. But not all Elmo’s cut them selfs they are just misunderstood people who express them selfs throug music,cloth,and poems so that’s my opinion theirs more I’m just super tired.AND THEY DON’T CUT THEM SELFS only SOME do
Ummmmmmmmm… no! I’m emo and I only cut when I need to make the mental pain go away by using physical pain; which isn’t often. my school is full of outcasts like emos,Goths, homosexual, and bisexual people. Only a few people cut.
No… Self harm is an illness that usually goes along with depression and anxiety and MANY other serious illnesses. You can’t seriously qualify that as emo. It is a serious problem that many people (including myself) need serious intensive treatment for. Sorry, but that is in no way correct nor does it fully explain what self harm is. Self harm is something that is commonly misunderstood and nobody understands until they pick up the razor for the first time.
Yes. Emo is a label on people that is used incorrectly often. From collective information I can see that emo is more of a taste in music and a clothing style. Being emo and cutting are not linked automatically in anyway. People who struggle with self harm are often labeled emo and vice versa. Cutters are not always emo and emos are not always cutters. Self harm is usually associated with depression and is a mental instability, an unhealthy way to cope with saddness and stress. I do have depression and deal with self harm but am NOT emo. I no way fit that stereotypical description. I wish people would stop throwing it around like a joke, as if it goes along with the emo style. No one would ever guess I cut, because I am completely different than the stereotypical cutter. I wish people would understand self harm is a serious health problem that people do for various reasons. It is in no way part of a style or a joking matter. I hear far too many emo jokes at school, people would never guess someone like me is dealing with self harm.
I hate when people asumme people who r emo cut . Cuz I’m emo but I don’t cut only 2 out 10 Emos cut. And If your thinking about becoming emo think it long and hard cuz people will make fun of u me don’t do it over night . Youlll look fake. I would slowly take up the culture and when u do become emo welcome to my world .
I really don’t get it but people always call me EMO GIRL! Just because I wear black belts. Black everytime poofy hair, and black eyeliner and I listen to too many hard rock! Am I??
Like seriously. I know a lot of people including myself who is emo. Most people say they are because of the music. It’s not true. Others say they’re emo because of ONE breakup or bad relationship. It’s stupid. People don’t know what we have to go through everyday. ._.
Hmmm…sounds like emo is just the newest version of somethin that’s been around like always!!..when I was 16 people called us grunge and diets and said we all shot up lol…before us it was punks n they were all thieves ha ha..point being when there are outwardly expressive people that don’t adhere to the same shit every other drone does the drones #1 label you…#2 attach an exaggerated flaw so as to minimize you because drones are scared of unique people just as they are scared of being unique themselves…hence one of my fav terms from my era…DRONE..LACK of individuallity..LACK of creativity…LACK of motivation to do something other than what EVERY body else is doing lmao..pathetic existance!!( I actually switch to TURD from DRONE…thought it popped better lol)..anyway my MAIN point is the same thing sux today that did 20 yrs ago kidz…LABELS!!!…emo..Goth…grunge…punk..greaser..flapper..shit I could go back 100 yrs worth but all I want to say FINALLY is….stay INDIVIDUAL!!…piss on ANY LABEL!!!…and MOST of all….PITY the turds!!!…with their small minds they can’t pass a Hollister without meltin mom n dads visa card anyway LMAO!!!!..have fun gang n play nice :-)…….
Hey I’m thinking of becoming emo but I’m scared cuz everyone will get it the wrong way everyone thinls that’s emo’s cut them seleves but no on really understands I love the colour blaclk and differant colours I love BVB, fit for rivals, bring me the horrizon, pierce the viel and I just love the emo style 🙂
Lol, no honey, you have emo ALL wrong, being emo isn’t all about “loving the color black and different colors I love BVB, fit for rivals, bring me the horrizon, pierce the viel and I just love the emo style :)”
it’s about depression, cutting, or just being emotional..
look, if you’re happy, keeley then be happy, don’t put on a show for people …
don’t pretend to be emo, i know what being emo is.. after all i’m emo, anyways..
don’t even pretend to be emo.. cause u got no fucking clue what is apparently
oh my god.. really… some people are just really stupid emo doesn’t mean cutting, being suicidal or being depressed all of those things have nothing to do with the word emo.. its just a stereotype and a label people put on other people and the people that do that are the ones that cause people to fall into depression ya there called bullies!!
95% of the clothes I own are black, I am a cutter, I have tattoos, I love all kinds of music but I do not think I am emo. Like someone else said you have gothic, punk, grunge and whatever else people say, out in this world. We are all individuals and should be able to express ourselves however we want to. As long as nobody is getting hurt then who cares..
U just said “as long as no one gets hurt” but u said you’re a cutter.
That makes sense.*sarcastic* dude, I don’t think you’re emo I think you’re goth,which is totally fine but people get emo and goth mixed up a lot for some reason.
Emo, is short for Emotion. Emo’s usually wear black, and are very quite shy people that don’t speak much. Some cut themselves, because it helps them, it’s away of helping to them. And if they have alot going on, it will get extremely bad and they may get suicidal. Emo, is also a type of music metal,pop core stuff like that. And they usually get called names for being emo, if u see one get bullied help them before it’s to late.
Emo’s usually cut and wear black. Not all cut cutting helps, solve problems by putting pressure on their skin and bleeding it calms them down, if they have alot going on it may get bad enough where they try to kill themselves. Emo, is short for emotion. They wear black, cause its a depressing color and it shows how they feel. Also a type of music pop core, metal and stuff like that. If you see a emo stand up for the emo, cause u never know what could happen. Emo’s are misunderstood, and it only creates more problems.
I don’t see how being extremely sensitive or getting hung up over one God Damn relationship is described as emo. If you are that kind of sensitive person, then stop dating.
Ok that not true. I was bullied through whole of primary (elementary) and most of high school. You don’t go Emo after a break up you idiot.you don’t go emo after being bullied.i cut once and I regret it because of the scars. Emo I not an over-night thing, you think long and hard and ease itself into it.if ur tht sensitive, quit dating.
This informal use of the word cut is kinda creeping me out.
“someone who cuts”
flowers?
the cheese?
DJing?
Music Production?
I think you guys and gals mean “someone who cuts themselves”
Anybody who is reading this thinking of cutting themselves, please don’t. You are probably a confused teenager. Teen years will pass. Try and eat a healthy diet and try to smile and consider that we are all a part of a beautiful matrix of life and each and every one of us is beautiful and what you think of yourself radiates strongly from you. Be honest. Find good friends. Be there for them. Try thinking love and love will come back to you.
okay so let me straighten this out with what I know.
1) emo could mean some one who listens to emotive hardcore music and expresses themselves through that
2) emo could also mean emotional people who go through allot of stress and hard shite in this life that
may or may not cut
People who say they’re emo, are basically just labeling themselves. “Emo” can be a good or bad thing – depending on who you ask. Most emo people wear band t-shirts, or graphic tees, skinny jeans, grudge boots, converse, or vans, and often have a certain “emo” hairstyle, which tends to look messy, but really isn’t. Some emo people dye their hair, if it isn’t already, black, or neon colours. Most of the emo people I personally know get gauges/tapers or other piercings. (snake/angel bites, nose piercing, etc.)
Emo does not mean that your life all sorrounds cutting yorself. but to be emo there are some fundamentals eg. listening to some emotive hardchore music n havin some black in you (not literally)…….I’m emo but i dont express myself through cutting myself but i write dark poetry
I self harm and suffer from self harm among other mental illnesses which I would rather not get in to, but that in no way shape or form classifies me as emo. To be emo is like being considered in a group ‘preppy’ or a ‘jock’. It is like a social group and a way that one acts. There are certain characteristics that are involved, such as a type of music that is listened to, the clothing or style that one prefers, just a lifestyle that many people share. Nobody fully understands something until they are in the exact same situation, but to better understand you could maybe listen to some of the emo music that is actually very good. The lyrics are more meaningful and, although some of the screamo-type songs are an acquired taste, they are very good. I keep my mind open and try to accept each different social propaganda, and emo and goth and scene and punk are groups that I have become interested in.
Let’s confirm: NOT EVERY EMO CUTS AND HAS DEPRESSION AND OTHER DISORDERS. As someone who had been through their fair share of cutting, depression, and so on, it is not a ‘trend’. It isn’t a lifestyle choice. It is an illness that is serious, and just because someone wears black and listens to some deep ass music they are not depressed nor shod you make an assumption that they cut.
The characteristics for an emo are broad and are usually identifyable. Don’t try to confuse them with the various other social groups that are quite similar, because there are many differences.
I hope this helped even though it is SO long and I kind if went on a rant… But yeah hope it helps
I’m probably older than some on here but came looking for info for my son as he has been talking about being called ‘EMO’ at school and I was just trying to see if it STILL mean what it did when I went to school so I wouldn’t steer him wrong when I talked to him about it and it still does. There are a lot of us who don’t cut but wear tight jeans listen to My Chemical Romance. Emos don’t ALWAYS cut, it just depends on if you are depressed enough to do it or not.
Emo does not mean you cut yourself. Emo does not mean you wear only black. Emo could almost be anything. Yes most wear black and yes some do cut, but not all. Theres also some emos who wear many colors most of the time many colors in their hair. There are “emo” bands many people know BVB, my favorite emo band is Botdf. Emos mostly cut themselves because when the pain goes to where they cut its no longer pain in there head. Calling them emo, getting in thier face, telling everyone, or calling them cutter WONT HELP AT ALL. Just be a friend and act like there normal because there as normal as you!
An Emo person is a very emotional, shy, and quiet person. Some of us wear black to show our feelings of sadness or of being a misfit, while others have very happy and bubbly personalites, and they express them by wearing bright, happy colors. We do tend to have a more..unique taste in music, such as MCR, PTV, LP, BVB, KOK, and screamo-type music, but it’s not about how they sing it, it’s about what the lyrics are saying. They are very emotional words, and we can usually relate to the songs that the bands are singing. Yes, some Emos cut themselves and have Depression or other disorders, like myself, but that isn’t reffering to all Emos. I have personally had a sh*tty past, and that’s my reason of Depression and selfharm, but not everyone in the population of Emos do it, okay? Just because you see an Emo person, don’t automatically assume that they selfharm, because honestly, most of them don’t cut. I’m one of the rare Emo selfharmers that you’ll ever be associating with.. I hope this comment helped. Bye!
Depression, cutting- does NOT mean u r emo. More than just that define what being an eno really is. I suffer from depression ( what? I had a bad history when I was a little kid, get over it!), sometimes I cut to take mental pain away, but not all emos do.
Plus, don’t let any one label you as being emo, that’s B.S.
Emo are quiet, shy, smart kids who express themselves differently from the rest of the world. They listen to emotive music ( most, some find other music that relates to them better, and stuff they can come to like). Barely any emos I know actually cut, and those who do r fakers ( I found that out coz they had no idea what they were talking about! They said stuff like, ‘ I listen to BVB vox its solo emo’ or, ‘ I cut, coz its way makes an emo an emo’) .
Emos are awesome, yet so badly misunderstood, y does the work like this?
Emo is a feeling deep down, like your almost dead inside. You don’t have to cut, or listen to hard rock, or punk, or any kind of emo music, you don’t have to do that dumb ass thing with your hair or wear stupid band shirt and skinny jeans, you don’t have to do any of the steriotypical things to be emo. All you need to be considered emo is that feeling, emo is an EMOtional thing. I listen to hard rock, but not to look cool, or fit the steriotype, but because it’s my thing, it makes me feel a little less dead inside, it makes me happy. Just do your own thing and don’t care about anyone else, they can all screw themselves, nobody even has to know your emo.
emo doesnt have anything to do with the clothes you wear, how your hair is cut, what type of music you listen to, etc. it is a shorter term for emotional which means someone is emotionally unstable. it doesnt mean theyre sad. they could be angry and hide the way theyre feeling towards others and their emotions will eventually build up and will be shown in an unhealthy manner. `emo`tional people are people who dont know how to express and/or deal with their emotions
Emo is a term that can be used in a few different ways. 1st- Emo can be short for emotional.
2nd- This word can describe a style of music, usually punk/rock style, with very emotional lyrics.
3rd – It is used to describe a (usually teenaged) social type, but there’s no really clear definition of what makes someone ’emo’ or not.

Not all cut cutting helps, solve problems by putting pressure on their skin and bleeding it calms them down, if they have alot going on it may get bad enough where they try to kill themselves. Emo, is short for emotion. They wear black, cause its a depressing color and it shows how they feel. Also a type of music pop core, metal and stuff like that. If you see a emo stand up for the emo, cause u never know what could happen. Emo’s are misunderstood, and it only creates more problems.

LikeDislikeI don’t see how being extremely sensitive or getting hung up over one God Damn relationship is described as emo. If you are that kind of sensitive person, then stop dating.

Emo I not an over-night thing, you think long and hard and ease itself into it.if ur tht sensitive, quit dating.

LikeDislikeThis informal use of the word cut is kinda creeping me out.
“someone who cuts”
flowers?
the cheese?
DJing?
Music Production?
I think you guys and gals mean “someone who cuts themselves”
Anybody who is reading this thinking of cutting themselves, please don’t. You are probably a confused teenager. Teen years will pass. Try and eat a healthy diet and try to smile and consider that we are all a part of a beautiful matrix of life and each and every one of us is beautiful and what you think of yourself radiates strongly from you. Be honest. Find good friends. Be there for them. Try thinking love and love will come back to you.

LikeDislikePeople who say they’re emo, are basically just labeling themselves. “Emo” can be a good or bad thing – depending on who you ask. Most emo people wear band t-shirts, or graphic tees, skinny jeans, grudge boots, converse, or vans, and often have a certain “emo” hairstyle, which tends to look messy, but really isn’t. Some emo people dye their hair, if it isn’t already, black, or neon colours. Most of the emo people I personally know get gauges/tapers or other piercings. (snake/angel bites, nose piercing, etc.)

LikeDislikeI self harm and suffer from self harm among other mental illnesses which I would rather not get in to, but that in no way shape or form classifies me as emo. To be emo is like being considered in a group ‘preppy’ or a ‘jock’. It is like a social group and a way that one acts. There are certain characteristics that are involved, such as a type of music that is listened to, the clothing or style that one prefers, just a lifestyle that many people share. Nobody fully understands something until they are in the exact same situation, but to better understand you could maybe listen to some of the emo music that is actually very good. The lyrics are more meaningful and, although some of the screamo-type songs are an acquired taste, they are very good. I keep my mind open and try to accept each different social propaganda, and emo and goth and scene and punk are groups that I have become interested in.
Let’s confirm: NOT EVERY EMO CUTS AND HAS DEPRESSION AND OTHER DISORDERS. As someone who had been through their fair share of cutting, depression, and so on, it is not a ‘trend’. It isn’t a lifestyle choice. It is an illness that is serious, and just because someone wears black and listens to some deep ass music they are not depressed nor shod you make an assumption that they cut.
The characteristics for an emo are broad and are usually identifyable. Don’t try to confuse them with the various other social groups that are quite similar, because there are many differences.
I hope this helped even though it is SO long and I kind if went on a rant… But yeah hope it helps

LikeDislikeI’m probably older than some on here but came looking for info for my son as he has been talking about being called ‘EMO’ at school and I was just trying to see if it STILL mean what it did when I went to school so I wouldn’t steer him wrong when I talked to him about it and it still does. There are a lot of us who don’t cut but wear tight jeans listen to My Chemical Romance. Emos don’t ALWAYS cut, it just depends on if you are depressed enough to do it or not.

LikeDislikeEmo does not mean you cut yourself. Emo does not mean you wear only black. Emo could almost be anything. Yes most wear black and yes some do cut, but not all. Theres also some emos who wear many colors most of the time many colors in their hair. There are “emo” bands many people know BVB, my favorite emo band is Botdf. Emos mostly cut themselves because when the pain goes to where they cut its no longer pain in there head. Calling them emo, getting in thier face, telling everyone, or calling them cutter WONT HELP AT ALL. Just be a friend and act like there normal because there as normal as you!

LikeDislikeAn Emo person is a very emotional, shy, and quiet person. Some of us wear black to show our feelings of sadness or of being a misfit, while others have very happy and bubbly personalites, and they express them by wearing bright, happy colors. We do tend to have a more..unique taste in music, such as MCR, PTV, LP, BVB, KOK, and screamo-type music, but it’s not about how they sing it, it’s about what the lyrics are saying. They are very emotional words, and we can usually relate to the songs that the bands are singing. Yes, some Emos cut themselves and have Depression or other disorders, like myself, but that isn’t reffering to all Emos. I have personally had a sh*tty past, and that’s my reason of Depression and selfharm, but not everyone in the population of Emos do it, okay? Just because you see an Emo person, don’t automatically assume that they selfharm, because honestly, most of them don’t cut. I’m one of the rare Emo selfharmers that you’ll ever be associating with.. I hope this comment helped. Bye!

LikeDislikeDepression, cutting- does NOT mean u r emo. More than just that define what being an eno really is. I suffer from depression ( what? I had a bad history when I was a little kid, get over it!), sometimes I cut to take mental pain away, but not all emos do.
Plus, don’t let any one label you as being emo, that’s B.S.
Emo are quiet, shy, smart kids who express themselves differently from the rest of the world. They listen to emotive music ( most, some find other music that relates to them better, and stuff they can come to like). Barely any emos I know actually cut, and those who do r fakers ( I found that out coz they had no idea what they were talking about! They said stuff like, ‘ I listen to BVB vox its solo emo’ or, ‘ I cut, coz its way makes an emo an emo’) .
Emos are awesome, yet so badly misunderstood, y does the work like this?

LikeDislikeEmo is a feeling deep down, like your almost dead inside. You don’t have to cut, or listen to hard rock, or punk, or any kind of emo music, you don’t have to do that dumb ass thing with your hair or wear stupid band shirt and skinny jeans, you don’t have to do any of the steriotypical things to be emo. All you need to be considered emo is that feeling, emo is an EMOtional thing. I listen to hard rock, but not to look cool, or fit the steriotype, but because it’s my thing, it makes me feel a little less dead inside, it makes me happy. Just do your own thing and don’t care about anyone else, they can all screw themselves, nobody even has to know your emo.

LikeDislikeemo doesnt have anything to do with the clothes you wear, how your hair is cut, what type of music you listen to, etc. it is a shorter term for emotional which means someone is emotionally unstable. it doesnt mean theyre sad. they could be angry and hide the way theyre feeling towards others and their emotions will eventually build up and will be shown in an unhealthy manner. `emo`tional people are people who dont know how to express and/or deal with their emotions
