occasionaly cuts, wears stereotypical emo gear.

Answer 2

Someone becomes Emo when someone else labels them as emo... btw to the answerer above me, everybody is different, so learn to accept that some people may not be able to cope with life's problems as well as you can. If someone is having trouble, why don't you help them instead of dissing them?
I hate intolerant, abusive people. It drives me nuts when people label another person just because they have problems with their lives.

Answer 3

Emo is an "emotional" child who listens to "emotional" rock and crying is their strong point. It also involves the 1970's version of punk clothing, including wearing all black, black fingernail polish, blakc lipstick, dyeing the hair black, initially idolizing the "skinny-boy" look as sexy (pluh), becoming more "sensitive" where I've heard of guys kissing guys when they never did before. They also love slicing themselves with a razorblade to "end their emotional pain." so basically, they are pansies.

Answer 4

EMO comes from the word EMOtional. they think that their life totally sucks...some "emo" people will cut themselves and try at act all depressed

Answer 5

Emo is a slang term derived from the word "emotional", used as a misnomer to describe a range of fashion styles and attitudes mistakenly affiliated with emo music. The term is also used negatively to describe a general state of unhappiness or melancholy (as in "to feel emo") as the stereotypical emo is often excessively unhappy and feels misunderstood. Emo is also used as a noun, often pejoratively, to identify a member of the "emo scene" (or more and more often, just "The Scene") or someone viewed as fitting the "emo" stereotype.

There are two popular forms of dress that are considered emo. The first is essentially derived from the 1990s "indie emo" scene, and has connections to indie rock, grunge, and punk rock. It includes more vintage and thrift store clothing, typically for a well-worn look. Some of the clothing leans toward khaki colors. T-shirts are typically of smaller sizes, and with various prints, often images from the 1980s punk culture. Bags and backpacks often have pins and patches of various bands.

The other popular style of dress focuses on darker colors. Commonly seen styles include straight, dark colored hair, either black, red, multi-colored (brown and black, red and purple, etc.) which covers one eye, males wearing pants tailored for females, lip, eyebrow, and labret piercings, and dark make-up on males and females (most notably black eyeliner, although red and pink eyeshadow is becoming increasingly popular). A common accessory for both males and females is glasses with a dark coloured (usually black), thick rim, a style sometimes even worn by persons who do not require corrective eye-wear. Wristbands in various colors are also popular.

Converse All-Star style shoes are common amongst both styles of dress, as are Vans and other skate shoe brands.

While "emo" is often used to describe the dress and attitudes of fans of emo music, "emo" as a musical genre and "emo" as a slang term are largely separate. "Emo" as a musical genre long pre-dated the use of "emo" as a slang term. At the same time, most current bands are labeled "emo" unwillingly, largely because they share some of the fashion trends and attitude associated with "emo" as a slang term.

There is also a common stereotype that associates "emo" with self-harm, most notably cutting wrists, partly due to song lyrics associated with "emo" bands, which often speak of acts of self-destruction. However, apart from the anecdotal, there is no significant evidence of any correlation between emo and self-harm.

The term became increasingly more ambiguous as bands like Dashboard Confessional, with heavy, emotional lyrics, became more popular with teenagers experiencing life and first love. Emo was mistakenly considered an abbreviation of the term "emotional," thus encompassing these bands for their emotional lyrics despite their non-punk music.

As a greater variety of bands were categorized under the label of emo, the style of music, varying styles of music and dress began to be conflated as well. The style of bands like My Chemical Romance and Panic! At the Disco, including their use of makeup (particularly black eyeliner) and longish hair (often covering one eye or the face) began to be associated with emo.
