Hey everyone! I've ran across the term "emo" on a few websites lately. I really don't understand what the heck they're talking about. Anyone want to enlighten me? Thanks!

A very depressing, gothic person. An emo person might cut their wrists, wear dark makeup, be a satan-worshipper, and a number of other things.
www.urbandictionary.com definition-
A group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.

Emo's are stereotyped as depressed people who cut, and have dark hair that covers 3/5 of their face, they wear converse, girl pants, and tight shirts. Okay, who came up with that. So, not true. Not even close. And emo person is someone who feels emotions very strongly. Hint, the word emo. Whether it be happy, sad, mad, whatever. And they don't have to dress or look a certain way either! Also, not all emo's cut. Some do some don't. Cutting, writing, going off alone, whatever, they do it as a way to express their emotion or release what they feel.

Think Blink 182 and the image punk bands exude.. funky shirts and jeans. I think it is used more to term the dress style, rather than any particular social group.

Emo means emotional like poems and farther outlooks on life, My friend is Emo. It is just another sub-culture like Goth, prep, gangsta,punk. Not all Emos cut so don't believe anyone who tells you so.

an attention seeker. Someone (usually middle class) who has had an easy and dull life and needs to get some excitement, so they use insignificant things like when their parents had a big shouting match when they were 6 and thats what affected them and made them what they are.

It is a person who likes large, dumb, flightless birds. They have pretty eyes and are quite harmless, but I'm not sure why those people like them so much...They really are dumb birds...
