I'm not the labeling person but, i believe emo is just people with problems in their life at the moment. And, I don't think that it depend on what you look like or what music you listen to, i just think that it depends on what their life is like...like mines a social mess...i spend on the computer for like 5 hrs a day...recommended a computer geek? And also, i got to the point of life where i HAVE harmed myself, only because of how my life is...

To me, putting stereo-typing is totally stupid...labels are for objects, NOT people...I noticed that most people that call themselves "emo" are just immature and like the attention.
Listening to a type of music doesnt make you anything. What the heck is an "emo band" anyway?? To me, its just music. And the cutting...most kids I see do it for the attention, which is a horrible thing since its a serious problem people can have.

Well since Emo is short for emotional the being sad part is kind of right but Emos do have fun too but basically its a style and being yourself. All that cutting nonesence is just stereotyping.

It's just a nice term for being retarded, or mentally challenged. Here's an example of "emo" being used in a sentence:
"geez that Emo kid sure take the short bus to school"

It is short for emotional. Some are depressed, some are perfectly happy but they just want to be their own person, and others just like the music so people call them emo.

Emo is being yourself. You might be depressed, sure. But being emo realy means not being afraid to be yourself. Wear what you want. Listen to what you want. All the other emo images are just steriotypes.

Short for "emotional". I'd say it's another way of saying "Teenage Angst-y!"
