deathdrow Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 What exactly defines a person as "emo"? What is emo? I've never really understood it. And I've heard a lot of different definitions. Is it the way a person acts, or just a certain style, or something completely different? edit: Also, what is a hardcore kid, and what is a scene kid?

baalboy5 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Basiclly its anyone who live's suck and they express it with darkness and hurthing themselves. And to avoid confusion, being emo could be a mental problem, family problems, lifestyle, or other reasons. I mean there a difference between a rich emo and a poor emo, or a mentally depressed emo and a sensetitve emo.. Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob. People in OT eat glass when they are bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryomancer Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 'Emo', in my mind, is someone who acts depressed, wears black, etc, for no good reason. They're usually middle class, their parents are still together, live in a nice house and all that stuff, they do it because it's supposedly trendy. People from broken homes, rife with drugs, abuse etc, I don't feel that way about, their life actually does suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurinEthir Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 There are emos, and then there are actually depressed people. Emos generally are somewhat rich suburban kids who act like their lives suck, though it really isn't that bad. They usually wear black, cut their wrists, all that stuff you hear about. Actually depressed people are well...Actually depressed people. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

Wongtong Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm more of a "Emo is a fashion" person, there is a girl in my class who does everything like this: Emos generally at somewhat rich suburban kids who act like their lives suck, though it really isn't that bad. They usually wear black, cut their wrists, all that stuff you hear about. but I don't think I/anyone else would define her as 'emo'. I'm pretty sure some people here would call someone an '(w)emo' just because of how they dress or how their hair is, and don't bring up that [cabbage] like "Emo is music!!!" because society has warped it from a genre into a fashion statement. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

To add to this, [hide=][/hide] I wouldn't question it. They do it for attention mostly.

Riku3220 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Emo kids are pretty much people who think that their life sucks even though they usually live in decent homes with a decent family. I don't even know why parents allow them to wear this expensive clothing and make up and then allow them to pierce whatever part of their body however many times they want.

Da_Latios Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I used to be "emo". REALLY stupid now that I look back on it. I had a very negative outlook on life etc etc, had the emo hair and whatnot. Ugh. A friend (a girl) pulled me out of that stage. That was three years ago, and I'm the polar opposite of emo now. I have a relatively good social life, get reasonable grades (B+ A- range) and am now an atheist (woo, logic!). It's funny how I owe half my life to two girls, heh (another girl introduced me to RuneScape and TIF, which pulled me out of doing drugs because RS was so damn addictive). Anyway, emo is this: Anyone who says they're "scene" can go [bleep] off. Scene = emo with a few more colours.

Zierro Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I think emo stands for emotional. It's hard to believe that people would want to start a depressed clique. I mean with gangsters and jocks, they're stereotyped for their arrogance but I still think that's a little better than being known for your whining. Something that irks me is when people purposely pick on emos but you never see them picking on other prime examples of a stereotype. Wow, good job, you made fun of an emo. Now if you really want to prove how hardcore you are, go do the same thing to a jock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hell, everyone does.) But it's pretty ridiculous when you only belittle emos, while too afraid to say anything to the stereotypes that are just as funny but have a reputation for arguing back. In other words, they should pick on someone their own size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Well the definition for it has changed, but this is pretty much what it meant when the term was coined: http://www.freewebs.com/youdontknowemo/index.htm Now, it's anyone you don't like. Like [bleep]er, the person you're calling a [bleep]er doesn't necessarily do it, it's just what you say when you can't think of anything else. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

aquariusman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Whiny, middle class, kids who think their lives suck just because they have a few dating issues. They pretend they're suicidal and quote sappy love song lyrics. It's a fashion style and a music genre, although genre has gone from just general emotions, to focusing on being a bunch of whiny little kids who can't get over their ex. They really just need to shut the hell up and realize they're being idiots and babies. What they're trying to be is someone who has real problems, and a reason to be suicidal, and is actually depressed. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

Iamdan Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Emo is just a tend, it doesn't mean they are depressed or anything. If they wear the clothes, have the hair, and listen to that crappy emo pop rock stuff then they are emo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
