First, you must realize that all stereotypes are lame, and whomever it was in a previous post telling you that it's used by "preps," "jocks," and whoever else is entirely hypocritical.

Second, the term 'emo' can be short for one of two things: the word 'emotional' or 'emotive rock.' Musically speaking, it's the latter of the two, though people will tend to tell you otherwise.

The term 'emo' is not a bad thing. Unfortunately people who have been stereotyped as 'emo' have given themselves the reputation of being cutters, depressed, etc. This is generally not the case. It may happen, yes -- but 'emo' does NOT equal depressed kids or people who cut themselves. Both of those things are serious issues and are not something to make fun of someone for.

Everyone, in a sense, is emo. Everyone is emotional to some level. Whether or not they actually show their emotions and how often they do varies from person to person.

Furthermore, 'emo' bands are NOT Taking Back Sunday, AFI, New Found Glory, blah blah blah. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. An 'emo' band is one like Dashboard Confessional.

As for 'emo' fashion... It's pretty much the same as 'nerd.' Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Answer 3

Emo is a steryoype used by preps, idiots, and the other types of people known to the world. Emo is an attitude, type of muisc, and style. Emo is not emotional, but many emo people are. Emo stlye is usually all black, or darker colors. Emo people are usually either shy, sad, heart broken, depressed, or abused. Many people think that emo people are the same thing as "cutters". This is not true. Emos and cutters are very diffeent. Some cutters are emo, and some emos are cutters. Sad to say, society makes the emo population feel even worse about ourselves. If they could stop their ignorance for a minute, and just talk to us, youd see just how cool we are.

So you can see how people steryotype us.
