I thought people were talking about a flightless bird similar to an ostrich. I said to myself, "self, why is everyone into emu's all of a sudden". Then I realized they were saying "emo", not "emu". So, what is it? Short for emotional? Electro magnetic octopus? Help me out please.

emo is well written emotional music,
and has recently become a stereotype for people who listen to this type of music and has come with such cliches as wrist cutting(as oppsed to wrist slitting,which is how it should be done by these mentally unstable social wrecks,coz these type of people inflict this damage to themselves for attention or coz, it takes the pain away")
the listeners of this music have also been termed wannabe goths because of the black and red clothes or the crazy hair and makeup styles.
some "emo" phrases for you to try at home kids are, "woe is me", and "my soul is wallowing in the pit of despair".
And for some of our more advanced emo's a poem mayb,write ur own but here is an example, something simple off the top of my head, i'll make it rhyme to coz i dont know how to do that unrhyming meaningful ****,actually not straight off the top of my head the first two lines will be from a more meaningful and actually spiritual poem i have copyrighted so if i see it somewhere u better kno i will sue ur asses...
staring out the window of my eternal wondering what the universe holds,
surely we're just guests here watching how it unfolds,
i slip into to the mindstream as im goin to bed,
and have thoughts of wakin up the next day blood red, completely dead.
as i walk out my room and as i go to school,
no longer do i have to worry about them calling me a tool,
them fools now im dead they can taunt me all they can
when they get home that nite ill haunt them im the dead emo man...
well that didnt turn out very emoish..., twas a bit of a funny picturing it coming out of someone with a sooky voice tho, well pplz im off, this questions has entertained me enuuf for this evening, and to all you people out there that cut urself for attention, jus stop it, ur hurting urself more than other people coz noone cares about you, no not even ur parents, the first black band t-shirt u wore was when u mommy started worrying and when she seen ur posters and heard that crap coming from your room she jus gave up on you, yeh thats why she had another baby, coz of you, u should go jump in the bath with the toaser and hair dryer, or a timed powerboard if you want to countdown out loud" im goin to die, is anybody hearing me im going to die, i have a powerboard attached to me and when the timer is up i will be killed with 240 volts of altenating currentzzzzzraarghhhh

Emo is the same as emotional but has generated into a word that is classified as someone cutting themselves. I am emo and i sure the hell dont cut myself. I am not depressed either. okay i am just like the girl in the breakfast club the weird one, ally. i sit at the back of the class and make wierd noises and hide under my hair. Last year i was so quite and had no friends accept for the very close friends i had. If your emo your very random, shy, and like to piss people of, at least that is me. And you dont give a crap about what others think.

A bunch of people that think life is so horrible, all the while they never went a day with an empty stomach in their life, complainers basically,they where tight hiwaters jeans, and have stupid 70's haircuts, and they listen to the very whiny music, and the music is usually a guy singing in very high notes, very unmasculine. If this is supposed to be the next big thing in music, Id rather listen to hip hop, at least the hip hoppers dont sing like women.

This is something that the younger generation called or identify themselves by. The term, meant for emotional or emote centers itself around youth who experiment in self mutilation and introverted personalities. My opinion, just a phase.

It's a youth subculture that some have referred to as "Goth lite." The emo is short for emotional, and refers to their trademark moodiness, etc. My little brother uses it as a synonym for "stupid," and sometimes when he uses it the category includes me or something I'm doing.

Emo is a gay type of music, and if you like any emo band, everyone instantly judges you and assumes your some vegan fag who waers skinny jeans and has floppy hair. This is not true however, as there are some good emo bands. but be wary of anyone who likes fall out boy, as they are the devil.
