Stereotypical emo fashion, portrayed in the style of common American signage; the words on the shirt are a parodic amalgamation of several band names.

Emo is a somewhat ambiguous, controversial slang term most frequently used to describe a fashion or subculture which is usually defined to have its roots in punk fashion and subculture, as well as some attributes of gothic fashion and subculture.[1][2]

//

Music

Main article: Emo (music)

The term emo originated in the 1980s to describe a genre of music stemming from the hardcore punk music scene in Washington, D.C. Early bands labeled emo (or sometimes emocore) in this scene included Rites of Spring, Embrace, and Fugazi.[2][3][4] The term emo as a music genre has become broader and broader with time, and now is loosely understood to mean "rock music with emotionally-based lyrics or effect," which could be used to describe a broadly and poorly defined group of nearly every popular (or unpopular) rock band. The term is so loosely defined because its definition is still the subject of debate.[1][2][3] Emo now often refers to a person's fashion, personality, or both, as well as the music genre.

Fashion

Emo fashion is usually defined to have roots in punk fashion as well as gothic fashion. By almost all current definitions, emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) often brushed to one side of the face, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands, studded belts, belt buckles, Chuck Taylor All-Stars, skate shoes, or other black shoes—often old and beaten up—and thick, black-rimmed glasses.[1][2][5][6][7][8] Emo fashion has changed with time; early trends included haircuts similar to those worn by the Romulans and Vulcans in Star Trek, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets (often called gas station jackets). This has fallen out of fashion nowadays.[5]

Personality

When referring to a person's personality and attitude, most definitions of emo hold that an "emo person" is candid about their emotions, sensitive, shy, introverted, broken-hearted, glum, and often quiet.[6][9] Emo personality is also often connected with writing poetry, which addresses confusion, depression, loneliness, and anger, all resulting from the world's inability to understand the author. Emo poetry uses a combination of any of: a highly emotional tone, stream of consciousness writing, a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme, references to the flesh, especially the heart, heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives, concern over the mutability of time and/or love, and disregard for punctuation, grammar, and/or spelling. Themes such as life is pain are common.[10]

Some definitions of emo hold that typical "emo persons" are likely to inflict self-injury, most often by means of cutting, burning, or otherwise mutilating themselves.[11] [9] Some assert that it is cool within the emo subculture to pretend to be suicidal and self-harm,[12] or that participants self-harm purely for personal enjoyment.[13]

Emos are also stereotyped to use depressing Internet screen names that sometimes contain straight edge X's, often using ironic sloganry, a poetic sense or cliché (eg. xmourningafterx).[8]

Criticism

In the years since emo music's rise in popularity, both emo music and emo subculture have attracted sometimes severe criticism.[13] The term emo itself is sometimes used pejoratively, to suggest that the target is "overly emotional."[6] Emo in general has been characterised as a fad which will be discarded and forgotten in the near future.[12] Emo music has also been compared to the teen pop of 1990s boy bands.[12][14] Critics cast the music as lacking any artistic merit, the fashion as "embarrassing" and members of the subculture as imagining or pretending that they lead harsh, painful lives when they actually live in comfortable, upper- to middle class homes.[12] Members of the emo subculture are portrayed by critics as melodramatic, self-pitying teenagers who pour their efforts into writing bad poetry and spending a great amount of time on MySpace.[13][12][15] The current emo subculture has been called a "sad caricature" of what it once was.[13] Critics have gone so far as to contend that the emo subculture or emo music are likely to cause youth to commit suicide.[11][12] The backlash against emo music and subculture has become so prevalent that it may itself have become a cliché: one commentator notes that "hating emo kids these days is as hackneyed as emo itself."[13][16]

Grammatical usage

The word emo can be used as either a noun or adjective.[6][9]

Adjective (1): All my friends are emo.
Adjective (2): I feel emo today.
Noun: That person is such an emo.

emo = type of music..... stupid = people who think differently

 

A warning to those who give a shit about fellow students or human beings. and our fav bands!!!!
hello all,


i seem to use that phrase excessivly.

you may if heard of an incident that happened in australia very recently.
2 younge girls not much older than me, committed suicide by hanging themselves together.
they made a death pact
they also planned to kill another person,
they sent bulletins out over myspace saying they were going to kill themselves.


BUT NO BODY LISTENED!!!!!!


our media has started to broadcast the lets say '' emo'' group. as a person who is infact suicidal and inflicts bodily harm.

it may have been the way someone dresses


it may have been the way someone acts

but it just shows how much it takes for the media and parents to acctually pay attnetion to us.

2 GIRLS KILLING THEMSELVES!!!!!

this is bullshit, it shows how much adults really listen to us.

now they sent warnings to the students particuly in nsw and victoria about the dangers of being '' emo'' and accociating with '' emos''.


its sad, that these young girls were sad enough to end their own lives. they didnt think they were worth living. they were not thankful for being born.
i feel sorry for the families of these girls who have to put up with the emotional trauma.

perhaps they think its their fault that they didnt pay attnetion to their daughters. its sad really.


we have known about emo for YEARS. every student in the world has heard the tearm be4 and knows what it stands for.

emotional



it was originally a gender of music.

i quote from smash hits magazine

''basicly emo is short for emotional, but describes a ton of different styles of emotionaly charged punk rock music and the fashion and life styles that go along with the sounds''



thats right

panic! at the disco is emo music

my chemical romance

fallout boy



these bands have been thrown around for a long time as the types of bands that would slit their wrists. but its just their gender of music.



in conclusion.


''emo'' is a style of music


'' stupid '' is the people that think otherwise.

post this on if u agree.

i know u all h8 chain mail. but i am sick of hearing about panic or fob or mcr or anyother band cutting their wrists in fan fics.
 
i personlly HATE PEOPLE WHO THINK BADLY ABOUT THE EMOS enough wit the friggin labels. EMO MEANS EMOTIONAL wat dont u get about that. anywayss props to jesstarn. thats where i got this from. emo is music

I AGREE i hate that sooo much

Michael provides us with today's QOTD.

We're a society of labels. Gay. Straight. Emo. Hardcore. Hispanic. White. Preppy. You get the idea.

Is this natural? More importantly, is this a good thing for our society to do? Are we forming communities based on these labels or are we just wedging ourselves apart?

im tired of ppl judging me and calling/thinking/asking if im emo. no offence if u r but its just friggin ahhh-noying
