Any emos? I've realized that I'm an emo inside, so I'm embracing it. I just got done giving myself emo bangs and I'm going to get an emo haircut as soon as my hair grows out long enough. I'm also going to start wearing wristbands and band shirts like Comeback Kid and Norma Jean, and the next pair of shoes I'm going to get are Chuck Taylor All-Stars. Who says all emos are sad? I've never been happier since I've discovered the emo inside of me!

I'm emo!
I've got the glasses!
I'm not emo nor do I support such lameness
emo is an outdated term, I think

Pretty much any emo won't tell you they're emo. They'll tell you that they're unclassifiable. I'm with duecex.

I describe myself as emo sometimes, but I'm not sure what the term actually means. I'm listening to My Chemical Romance right now. Does that count?

By the way, people cut themselves as a way with dealing with emotional pain, not neccessarily because they're emo. Not all cutters are emo, and not all emos are cutters.

'Tis a joke. Like saying, "I wish my grass was emo, so it would cut itself." A joke of a stereotype.

FOR PONY!!!

I'm emo.

I don't got the look, but I pwn you all in emotude.

However, I think emo as a noun (as in "he's an emo") is the stupidest thing ever. It's an adjective, peoples. Don't make me slap you.

I came up with that a while ago when I vandalized the coloring book (ignore the peach color floating above their heads). I thought it was related. It's not offensive to emos, right? Cause I don't want it to be . Is it stereotypical?

Anyways, there's this one kid in my grade who was rumored to be emo, but wasn't. On the day of our 8th grade speeches, he wore the most emo outfit, but he didn't break any of the outfit rules. No jeans, collared shirt, no flip flops. He even wore a skull necklace.

What is the definition of emo? A goth who cuts him/her self, and is depressed? Is that it?

I'm not an emo. Manic Depressive yes. Emo no.

mcr is too mainstream, theyre not emo. emo music is like bands that no one has heard of and its like a specific genre.

One of the definitions of emo music is that it's not popular? Is that really a good way to define a genre? I'm not making fun of it, I'm just curious.

i dont know. im just saying that MCR seems a little bit too...pop..ish. idk. theyre old stuff was better.

No. It is a very stupid way to define a genre.

As won't surprise you, Wikipedia has a very comprehensive article on the genre.

Personally, I would classify My Chemical Romance as emo. Certainly the emo-est band on mainstream radio today. They're decent, but I'm not a big fan. I kick it old school. Saves the Day. Taking Back Sunday. The Get Up Kids. The Starting Line. Mmm.

Green Tentacle was an emo. that's all i know about them.

Do you have to be happy about it? You're just stereotyping yourself.

I think you like what you like, and enjoy liking it with others.

And by the way, I have an emo-haircut. And I'm... how would you call it.. preppy

Or waiting for those suicide booths to come out next year?

What I kind of hate the most is how emo is synonymous with cutter, and vice-versa. The way I see it, society's view on expressing dark thoughts is very frowned upon, so it gets bottled up and it manifests into hurting physically. So, if these social walls were destroyed, then maybe not so many people would cut or something. But there are way too many judgmental people who thinks one thing is an absolute truth, like "African Americans killing themselves by shooting" when it couldn't be farther from it. And most of mainstream society is pretty shallow when it comes right down to it, and will believe anything their friends believe because they want to believe what their friends believe, and etc.

Well, I have no friends to talk about my depression with, but I don't cut. I sometimes feel like dying, but no cutting.

Chucks are Emo? When did this happen? I just thought they were cool because they were Chucks, like me, not because of some affiliation with a "click".

Now I don't know what to think.

_________________

Back when I was growing up, they were more closely associated with the breaking culture.

_________________

"Emo" is just a term for anyone that wears black, straightens their hair, wears gauges, etc. There are actual people who have depression and suicide issues, and it makes me mad when I see people steryotyping anyone who fits any of the aforementioned criteria as "emo". Also, I can assure you Mini Moose, that NONE of the bands you listed are Emo. Bands like Matchbook Romance are emo. Go look at their lyrics.

Maybe I was reffering to the sound. Don't assume you know everything that's on my mind! God! I guess I'll just cry myself to sleep whilst listening to "Wish you Were Here" again.

I realize that joke may have come off as a bit forced.
