What do you associate "emo" with?

Answer 1

The Emo Romulan look - short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and cut high over the ears. Someone from Time In Malta recently described to me the San Diego Crimson Curse scene as "Spock Rock."

Actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.

Horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.

Bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.

Heavy slacks, often too tight and short.

Thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children's size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.

Clunky black shoes

Scarves

Gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it's no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.

Also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat

Barrettes on boys

Make-up (male or female)

Too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters

Argyle

Lunchboxes

Anorexic thinness. Veganism helps.

Answer 2

"emo" is just another word that people use to criticize the way others express themselves, i dont actually know what it means but my brothers speaks of "Emos" as people who only wear black, cut themselves, threaten suicide and talk about how much life sucks. In my opinion some are maybe like that, but for the most part they're like any other but choose maybe to wear alot of black, maybe alot of black makeup too, so people automatically assume that they are self destructive

Answer 3

Kids who are depressed, EMOtional too.

Answer 4

black and repression.
