Question Posted Sunday April 3 2005, 12:54 pm

I've been wanting to ask, what's emo? I've heard it a lot, but don't have a clue as to what it is, and nobody would tell me because they are such teases.

Emo is an "emotional" person or someone who's into the punk stuff and suicide and what not.

Emo=Emotional.
Basically someone who wears dark clothes, thick glasses, and sits at home writing poetry about "life" that is really just about their boyfriend who broke up with them. Emo chicks are hot.

Emo stands for EMOtional. Don't feel embarrassed because I didn't know at first either. It's for really hardcore people who are emotional or are a bit depressed and you can usually tell by the way they dress or how they act towards you. A lot of people say they are EMO but they aren't, the people who say they are EMO usually aren't but the ones who don't broadcast it usually are. Hope I've Helped! &hearts;

Emo really is emotional, for short. Emo's tend to be regular cutters, listen to depressing music, and have a really hothic outlook on life. Goth can be two things. A lesser of Emo, or just someone who dresses freak, punk, etc.

Here is the definition for emo taken from [Link](Mouse over link to see full location):

Punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.

Emo is the shortened version of the word "emotional" Emo=Emotional. Emo is used to describe kids that are depressed. Emo is also used to describe clothing. No clue how that happened. Emo can be used to describe music- the whiney ones that are like "my girlfriend dumped me and life's not worth living boo hoo I want to die." That kind of thing. Hope this helped.

Emo is a type of music called "EMOtional" It's just can abreviation. It's like "Screamo" music where they feel sorry for themselves and think they have a horrible life.

Emo is short for emotional and it is mostly referred as to a type of music such as punk. Music that talks about emotions, heart break, love, etc is emo.
