ok, so ive been wondering for a while...?

Question

what exactly is "emo"?

Answer 1

people who cover their face with their hair, listen to bad music, suck at playing an instrument (usually acoustic guitar), wear way too much eyeliner- guys included, wear tight jeans and black / guys wear girls jeans and band shirts,and theyre all ugly as sh-t

Answer 2

From wikipedia: What the heck is EMO? Intended to be a basic FAQ primer on emotionally-charged punk rock music.

Made no sense to me.
Also: EMO=electronic money order

Answer 3

if you are talking music, emo punk is wussy crap like Good Charolette and New Found Glory. they are two of the bands who claim they are hard core punk rockers, but all thier music is about how a girl broke their fragile little hearts, and wussy stuff like that. emo stands for emotional, so to me, emo punk is actually an oxymoron. (that means two words put together that are opposites, like jumbo shrimp or happy birthday) my birthdays always suck and are never happy

Answer 4

Emotional.

Answer 5

well emo comes from emotional. basically its just a stupid label that teenagers came up with to further seperate themselves from other people. its like a new clique, like prep, goth, etc.

Answer 6

someone who emotes. an emotional type or what they believe to be someone with fluid emotion and romanticism.

Answer 7
