Answer 1

Dear Diary (mood: apathetic),

My life is spiralling downward. I couldn't get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert. It sucks cuz they played some of my favourite songs, like "Stab My Heart Because I Love You" and "Rip Apart My Soul" and, of course, "Stabby Rip Stab Stab." And it doesn't help that I couldn't get my hair to do that flippy thing, either, like that guy from that band could do. Some days, you know . . .

I'm an emo kid
Non-conforming as could be
You'd be non-conforming, too, if you looked just like me
I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face
I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
Cuz I feel real deep when I'm dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression
Most just call me a f-ag
Cuz their dudes look like chicks
Their chicks look like dykes
Cuz emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

I'm dark and sensitive with low self-esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems, but I like to make believe
I stole my sister's mascara
Now I'm grounded for a week
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can't get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me
It's never any fun
They say they already have a p-ussy
They don't need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo
I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

My life is just a black abyss, you know, it's so dark. And it's suffocating me, grabbing ahold of me and tightening its grip, tighter than a pair of my little sister's jeans. Which look great on me, by the way.

When I get depressed, I cut my wrists in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped give me an erection
I write in a LiveJournal and wear thick-rimmed glasses
I told my friends I bleed black and cry during classes
I'm just a bad, cheap imitation of Goth
You can read me Catcher in the Rye and watch me jack off
I wear skin-tight clothes while hating my life
If I said I like girls, I'd only be half-right

I look like I'm dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo
Screw XBox, I play old-school Nintendo
I must be emo
I like to whine and hit my parentals
I must be emo
Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be emo

My parents just don't get me, you know. They think I'm gay just because they saw me kiss a guy. Well, a couple of guys. But, I mean, it's the 2000s. Can't two, or four dudes make out with each other without being gay? I mean, chicks dig that kind of thing, anyways. I don't know, diary, sometimes I think you're the only one that gets me. You're my best friend.

I feel like tacos.

Answer 2

Emo is short for emotional. Emo is also sort of a type of punk music - though more musical, emotional - less shouting. People who are "emo" tend to be tought of as being poetic and thoughtful in a positive sense. Emotional and whiney in the negative. There's a joke: "How many emos does it take to screw in a light bulb?" "None - let them cry in the dark." Dashboard Confessional is thought to be emo. I do like some of the music. Emo isn't such a bad label - though I would prefer to be without labels at all.

Answer 3

Emos like to cry and cut
Everything comes from the gut
some would think that i'm a nut
if I say I like to cut
bleeding is what makes me feel
like my life's the real deal
I'll likely puke up my next meal
because that makes me feel so real
I like to cut myself
