(Sighs) Long story, but let's go back to the 80's. A new wave of music called emo showed up, with relatively catchy poetic punk pop tunes. Fans are called emos, like how punk fans are punks and so on. Suddenly, some fans take the meaning of the songs too seriously and literally and cut themself or become depressed. First emo was music, then it became a style and depression related thing, then it became a suicide cult shortly after the black parade was released. The daily mail blamed my chemical romance for a young girl's suicide, and starts fear amongst the people calling bands like my chem and fall out boy cults. It goes on, and suddenly we have scene kids. Scene kids are even more poser like, and annoying. They get steriotypical emo hairdos, and dye their hair neon colors. They also listen to Dubstep, unlike normal emo kids, and instead of being sad, they are always trying to find something witty and sarcastic to say. Emo has died off, and now we have scene kids. As for how kids become emo, 2 things, attention or because they are stupid. Some kids just can't grasp the concept of a depressing song, or a figurative picture, and they take it too far. Others, despite the fact that they claim to be outcasts, and original, they just find the emo cult to be cool, and they wanna have emo friends, listen to emo music, and have the hair. They are all posers. If someone really says they're emo, they're really not. And remember, bands like My Chem, Greenday, and Fall Out Boy are not emo, emo is bands like dashboard confessional, rites of spring, etc.
Additional information:
Depressed teens are not new. You didn't go back far enough. In the '50s we called them beatniks. There was beat cafes and beat poetry. Prior to WWII, if you were depressed, you stayed home behind closed doors or, if you had a strong personality, you became a 'bohemian'. 'Emo' is only the most recent evolution of combining style with a need to express how you feel. Everything old is new again.

Often times they cut themselves(especially on the wrists) trying to commit suicide. They tend to become anorexic, especially emo girls. Emo people tend to dress with a lot of dark colors and a few random colors. You will often see an emo person with a lot of piercings.

No, just because you hate people, does not mean your emo, it just means your not really a people kind of person. The answer to your question would be no, not all people that hate other mean they are emo and emo is not about hating people, so you can't call yourself an emo just by hating people. I would probably say you are a people-hater not an emo.
How do you become emo in elementary?
You don't just become emo. Emo means to be emotional. It is a culture and a way of life. You either are or you aren't emo. But if you try to become one, then you are considered a scene emo. Which means that you look like you are emo, but you don't cut yourself, become anorexic/bulimic, and/or attempt suicide. But you are only in elementary. This is a very childish thing to be even thinking of. Im assuming you are between the ages of 10 and 14. So don't even think of it.
