It's short for Emotional. It's whiny, poppy-poop music, tight pants, eyeliner, dramatic haircuts... It's being all sad and deep and artsy, too. Silly deal, I think.

It's basically little whiney "Oh woe is me" people. They do it because they are depressed about random things.

well, my son who is now 18 was 'Emo' for a while a couple of years back, he basically grew his hair, wore black clothes/eyeliner/nailpolish and listened to really depressing music (his friends followed suit i might add) they seemed to think it was 'all the rage' at the time.. thankfully they all grew out of it!!

Some of the things people on here are offending... I'm an emo with a lot of emo friends...I have depression and am in therapy- even my therapist says being emo is nothing bad. A lot of the time, emo is a fad.. If it helps any, here's a link that might help you: http://unorginal.webs.com/emomythvsfact.htm And if that doesn't help, you could also go on amazon and buy the book, "Everybody Hurts". Its a yellow book that explains almost all things involved with emo culture.

i think that labels are crappy and some emo ppl have real problems they have had a hard life like me so you emo haters back off

Wow,everyone makes it sound like a scary cult! - They are music lovers or musicians that don't just care about a beat but actually listen to the words. They might not care about becoming famous but about connecting with an audience and writing meaningful music

Firstly, let me make it clear that i have nothing at all against emo's. My idea of an emo is someone who cuts themselves, is depressed about life, wears skinny jeans, tight tops, have a side fringe, love their music and like arty things.

For the most part, emo is just a style of dress and liking in music. Here is an answer of Keysha's that goes into it. She did some research to answer it this completely: http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7495376 Frankly, I do not like this fad but, if my child were to become "emo," other than the cutting (yes, I know that not all do it but a good chunk do) and what I am about to show you, I would grit my teeth and bear it, knowing that eventually my child would grow out of it. The main thing I do not like about the emo subculture is, frankly, the moping and whining. Before any emo ABers jump on me, yes, I know that not all are like that and, if my child was emo and did not do that or cut, I would not have a problem. If they were cutting to be "cool" with their friends, they would go to a psychiatrist and I would make cutting so annoying for them that I think they would stop. Of course, the psychiatrist would be one I chose and I would NOT choose an enabler. If I had a child and they turned to this subculture, I would be watching VERY closely for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p95_eF3bD1w

first emo meant depressed kids that cut themselves now it's a style they wear skinny jeans, have bright colored, clip on hair extenstions, destroyed converse shoes, the girls wear tank tops that are 4 sizes to small, way too much make up, ugly home-made rainbow bracelets because they all pretend to be bi-sexual for attention, and they love to draw/read anime
