Well for me emo is just a stereotype, a label and demeaning to people. If anyone thinks different think back to a time when you might have been bulied. Because you may have been "ugly", over weight, "poor" or whatever and how it made you feel. Did you ever find yourself saying just look at me as a person or I'm more than what you see or something like that? Well that is what emo's feel everyday from society. People that hate on emo's and society are just bullies. I'm described as emo and I hate labels but if I had to describe me I would not say emo. I would say I am an indivitual. I like what I like. However some will just say I am emo. If you dont let it bother you then it can't do anything.

Answer 3

I'm sorry but the person who wrote the answer before me is a complete poseur.

Emo has nothing to do with self harm, depression, wearing black clothes and listeningn to metalcore bands.

"Being emo" is someone who listens to emocore bands like Rites of Spring, Embrace U.S, Gray Matter, Moss Icon, Cap'n Jazz, American Football, Jets to Brazil, Sunny Day real estate, Loud? and Texas Is The Reason.

No emo or screamo bands are popular and you will not hear any real emo bands on the TV, radio or at Warped Tour.

Emo originally is a sub genre of hardcore punk formed in 1984-5 in Washington D.C. The second wave of emo was more melodic and mixed pop punk and indie rock while the first wave of emo inherited fast guitar riffs, quick drums and shouting vocals.

The last two bands are examples of second wave emo bands and the first 4 are first wave bands.

For fashion, style includes thick rimmed glasses, a messenger bag which carries a diary and pencils, boot cuts jeans and sweaters with a real band shirt underneath.

Being emo is about being all of that but about being emotive and being ruled by your heart. Real emo people are often creative as well as any other subculture and use their emotions often. And no it is not a angst filled teenager who is very hormonal.
