When does emo word stared?
I think your question is when did the word emo begin being used? In the book "Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide To Emo Culture" The author says the first time the word was used was in 1997. Any answers about "emo" history or culture, etc. can be answered in this book, not to mention its HILARIOUS! Actually in an episode of MASH, BJ used the word emo to describe Hawkeye. He called him Captain Emo when Hawkeye was depressed over a letter he had received. So the word emo had been used much earlier then first thought.
Definition of emo?
Emo is a slang term for "emotional". Troubled teens with social, mental, and particularly emotional problems would be the true definition of 'emo'. However, in our modern culture, emo seems to have become a style. Example: "Look at that hot emo guy." Now, 'that guy' probably does not have emotional problems. He just has black hair, wears skinny jeans, and wears eyeliner. 'Scene' is a more appropriate term to describe the style, whereas "emo'' should probably be left to describe those with actual problems. "Goths" and "Punks" are other similar steriotypes. And no, not all emos are cutters. I personally belive steriotypes are pointless, and people should just be themselves; individuals. But the world insists on labeling those different than they are...I digress.
