My opinion of emo is that it is just like the gothic phase I went through in my teen years. There may be some differences, but I doubt they are big.

Now, where the name emo/emotional comes from, I am no more aware of than where gothic was thought up.

I don't think someone who is emo should be labeled as 'depressed' or 'freak.' There are those types of people in every walk of life, no matter how they look, dress, or act.

I think someone who is into the emo thing is someone who wants to be a unique individual instead of just a face blurred in a crowd of the majority.

Majority = look alikes, act alikes, walk alikes, talk alikes, and basically think alikes. Pretty much sums up to be a large crowd of people who wish to be just like someone else, and not so much like themselves.

I don't know about emo kids, but I know my personal obsession with daring to be different in my teen years has molded me into the woman I am today. I have my own opinions- you can take them or leave them. I don't care if people like me or not- their loss if they don't. I like being me, because there is no one else I would rather be.

This may or may not be the answer you are seeking. I may have told you my opinion to the point of being way more than you asked for. But to me, this is what emo is.

Go there and look at everyone's icons. Those about sum up everything about emo kids. We're not just depressed losers who cry about nothing like everyone says. We're people who are hurting for one reason or another....
