After looking around on a few forums I found that the term "emo" is interpreted in many different ways. So my question to you my fellow Escapists is, what do you think "emo" is?

Well sad people are usually called emos and emos are known for cutting their wrist.

Emo is musical and fashion lifestyle that I find kinda cool.
Now I am not emo myself.But I find emo girls to be hot,and the music is entertaining for the most part.

And I think that most emos live by the statement "Haters Gonna Hate".Seeing as most people I know dislike them for no good reason.

It's supposed to be short for Emotional. But half of the "emo's" i come across are all attention whoring idiots.

It's a subgenre of music. It's pretty much pop-punk, but not as annoyingly catchy and slightly heavier with lyrics that deal with emotion, hence the name "emo".

Warning: Stereotype alert.
Visually, it's all dyed black hair and skinny jeans (black, of course) and stick-thin kids.

You mean like this? [http://www.hatersgoingtohate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haters-gonna-hate-eagle.jpg]

OT, while I can't stand whiny emo kids who won't stop complaining for no reason nor the stupid fashion sense of all black and tight fitting clothing, I still can't stop thinking emo girls are kinda hot...



Yeah, I find that sexy for some reason.

No, those are "Scene kids" who try to be emo because someone decided it's cool. These are the people who change with fashion and are generally despisable idiots.

Emo is short for a particular music genre.

What people THINK is emo, is the clothing style, but thats called "scene", seriously...

Being "emotional" doesn't make you emo. Whining about how your parents doesn't "understand" you isn't emo, no parents understand their teenagers... The "emo culture" is one massive fake and I hate it. Your "scene" you listen to the music genre emo and you whine a heck of a lot about things that everyone has a problem with.

Get out of my life poser...

Thank you. I also hate the term and think that anyone who uses it derogatively deserves to be sentenced to a very certain form of hell.

Maybe I that's why I think she's hot.

I like the alien look :D

I did change the picture in my op though.

A person that is unreasonably emotional, and optionally himself.

They tend to "express" this disharmony of feelings by wearing black complaining openly about their unbearable life. On that basis, people will call you emo. A degrading prejudice for pointing out people you think whine too much about their life, and do so in a demonstrating matter.

I don't like emos (one could say despise), but they are nonetheless a human unlike myself and should be treated as an equal, even though the favor isn't mutual.

Also, a musical and fashion style.

I think they're both gorgeous; I'd kill to look like that. They're not even doing duckface!
