what EXACTLY is EMO???

Question

i think i noe wat emo is but im not POSITIVE....so can u please help me out here???

Answer 1

Emo is when a person is not happy with themselves and are so negative, that they cold even cut themselves.

Answer 2

Emos generally have a certain style. Stereotypically they have dyed black or multi-colored hair, usually in their face, and sometimes it's spiky. They can also have really tight, black clothes. An accessory can be glasses with a thick, square frame. They apply heavy eye makeup; a favorite is black eyeliner.

Some people call emos "gothic poseurs". They are known to be homosexual or bisexual to be trendy.

They listen to a certain genre of music. Emo music usually have screaming and dark lyrics.

The name comes from emotional, as said in the previous posts. They claim to be depressed, and that they have a very sad life. Let's just say, their favorite holiday is NOT Thanksgiving. They can hate life, even if it's perfectly fine. They cut themselves generally for attention.

Not many people respect emos, however. There are SOME fangirls that think their style is hot, but others think they're being idiots and/or look down on them for being anti-social.

Emo is a slang term used to describe a range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music and its related scene. As an adjective, emo can describe a style of fashion or music; or a general state of unhappiness or melancholy (as in "to feel emo"). Emo is also used as a noun, often pejoratively, to identify a member of the "emo 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 "emo" has also been used in recent years on the Internet as a form of insult, especially toward those who appear emotionally unstable, or those who talk about issues in their personal lives to people in public forums or chat rooms. Similar to popular profanity, it tends to be used as a general insult even when it is not directly applicable. Phrases such as "cheer up, emo kid" are used frequently as a quick brush-off in this context. Some people use the term "emo" to describe a feeling of depression, alluding to the association of depression with the "emo" subculture. As a result, individual definitions of emo vary greatly, and consensus on a single definition is difficult if not impossible.
