Not all emos cut themself, some do and some don't... And if people cut themselves, that doesn't automatically make them emo. I'm not saying its right... but yeah there's a lot of stereotyping.

hey im soo bored!....not really

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

We mean emotional in the "Pathetic, doesn't make sense, what the hell is making you such a baby?" way.

True, but the bad parts always stick out. Wrong notes stick out in music; Zidane's foul stuck out in the World Cup last year; wrist-slashers stick out in the emo crowd.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

emo's a label imo...
one that i fit in all too well

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

Well, you're right about that. You cannot look at my user name and avatar and not think emo. And I am ashamed of all those attention seeking whiny kids who think its cool to harm themselves. It makes this style look so bad... But you're right, they do stick out

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

i like the emo kid song...makes me laugh
"i'm an emo kid
nonconforming as can be
you'd be nonconforming to
if you looked just like me..."

but there's a huge difference between emo
and attention seeking fcuk up's that need to go play in traffic
[even the emo's that do hurt themselves]

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

exactly... so many people don't understand that

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

I don't see how you're emo at all, I've said this multiple times.

Also, I usually say "shemo" when I'm reffering to the bad emos.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

you're missing the whole point... you don't have to wear thickrimmed glasses and black everything to be emo.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

lol you kno i actually spent about 20 mins convincing someone im emo...
no idea why, except i was bored
...but in the end he believed me...and could understand why i'm the way i am

and yes, i kno you don't think im emo...
it all depends on what you define emo as...
i fit into most ppl's definition of it
except i don't write the depressing poetry=P

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

The poetry is the best part =O I'm published.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

that's awesome...and yes i <3 poetry
but i just prefer writing the meaningful/symbolic type that makes the person go...damn
0_o i'm not good at 'emo poetry'
even tho one i did have published could be considered emo in a way...maybe

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

this thread made me lol.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

there's way too many emo threads on here

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

Ok... honestly, when wikipedia recognizes it, you can't deny that the word has evolved.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

The word emo is primarily used as an adjective.[5]

Adjective (1): All my friends are emo.
Adjective (2): I feel emo today.
Noun: That person is a total emo.
It is not to be confused with the bird, an emu.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

Y'all suck. Seriously, who cares how people live their lives? Who are you to dictate what they can and cannot like.

Re: people, honestly emo is not a label its a type of music
 

The term "emo" was coined by Seventeen Magazine in 2002 to describe the clothes that punkers were wearing at the time, being tight pants, ties, fedoras, armlets, piercings, and spiky jewelry.

The term was invented to be a label. If you don't want to label yourself, fine, but don't get all indignant when people call you emo based on your lifestyle, one that is for some reason connected to the music and clothing of those who do label themselves.

I mean hell, before the word "emo" existed, I wore those clothes and listened to those bands. I was insulted too when people started calling me "emo." But I don't let the labels define me. People aren't neatly categorized into labels unless they choose to be. Just be unique. If that means you listen to emo bands, whatever. Just be aware that the label exists.
