      Emo is like Goths distant relative. Goth in the 80's is something emo will never be. I am a proud traditional goth, and I must say the real subculture of Goth is a lot more educated than the emo subculture. I believe they should follow the trend as well, they are the reason their is such a misunderstanding with goth, because they think anything can be apart of the goth subculture and that isn't true. Dumb fags

    Actually, EMO is NOT just clothing. It's when you wear your hair over your face like AFI (WHY THE FUCK are people becoming so obsessed with trying to be OTHER people? There must be some sort of mental disorder for that sorta thing). It's when you sit there and cry A LOT over every little thing. Gothic for your info is a style, not a religion or whatever. It's when you're a guy and you wear a tight shirt with tight pants, believe me, there's a whole lot more to it than you think CABBAGEPORN.

      I dont think your getting it. I think she means Emo is a trend. If I wear my hair out and it sways into my face am I emo?? No! And gothic is not when you were tight shirts and tight pants!!! Thats not even close to gothic!!! Gothic people are heavy metal head bangers who were baggy parchute type pants with chains! And they dont were tight shirts!! Theres alot YOU need to understand.

    Its a subculture I've had the pleasure being apart of. 2008 was a good year for many things but mainly because I found the loves of my young life, Tokio Hotel.
    Anyway emos r usually depressed outcasts. That's why when they come together it may seem odd watching them together. Just leave them be, I'm sure your narrowminded arse frollocks with other narrowminded arses.
    It isn't high school anymore buddy, lets upgrade to college! Free mugs and tshirts 4 everyone! Compassion & humility! Get educated, it decreases hate crimes.

    Me personally, I think Emos are the dumbest people out there
    random person: your dumb emo idiot
    Emo: well they called me dumb I will just cut myself that will take care of the whole problem!
    tell me how the fuck cutting yourself solves anything? All your doing is hurting yourself even more and causing mental problems and low self esteem. Sorry but not everything in life can be solved with a razor blade kids.

    I have no interest in finding out the gothic or emo people. I like the style tho. Its nothing for me. But i kinda love the gothic/emo style on girls and i almost had a "rave" girlfriend.

    Its not normal to think that they are gothics that became gay or retarted. Because then you make a stereo-type person.

    It's a style, not a way of life, not a result of actions.

    A style.
    A style in hair, a style in clothing, a musicgenre.

    Fucking look it up. Emo is music and a type of clothing. Emo music is short for emotional music. And emo clothing is just a fashion thing. How would you like it if I went around saying that gangsters were people that like to talk ghetto and would fuck anyone for free. Because that's how it is in my mind. Ghetto and gangsters are taking over the world I swear. Where the hell did "be yourself" go? I'm no emo, goth, or anything else. Sure I wear skin tight jeans, black, and have my hair in my face! Doesn't mean on fucking thing. Maybe that's what I like! I like metal, and so be it! Ima do what I like, and not be like everyone else with their fucking pants around their ankles, walking like retards, and listen to the crappiest music in the world? How do you like being fucking stero typed? You all need to grow up and do what you like. Because the way I see it, gangsters and all your ghetto friends are taking over. So shut the fuck up and look at yourself before you call anyone emo again you asshole. God, people these days. -.-'

    Well, I'm usually labelled goth but dude I wouldn't say that emo's are a gay copy. I mean like yes, it can be a little stupid considering that emo used to be just a genre of music, which now must people believe emo is "some queer who sits in te corner cries and cuts himself all day" if they like looking the way they do and acting that way and etc . That's fine, cause as I said before I'm usually called goth so ya , fuck the mainstream :)

    the emo and the goth have very very limeted conections to eachother black and thats about it goth people havethe whole dark side, heavy metle and other things i couldent be fucked listing

    eno the term came from the music than somewhere around 2000 (ish) people started caling other people emo meaning emotinal that dosent mean that they cut them self or winge things out of proportion the people who are TRULEY emo will be the ones who cant stop the bullshit they get dayley and wind up being sucluded and not being in the "in" croud which is not nessasarily a bad thing.
    they often wind up with other people in simular situations.

    now that other kind of emo the ones who do that stuff and not getting picked on are the ones who do it for resons that only they will understand coz they dont tell people what there problom is. . .

  • antiwhateverUsay

    There are many defination of emo. From clothing, style, music, personality to lots of stuffs. There is also that normal people can turn into 'emo state' at random but is not considered as emo. Kinda like a mood swing.

    Anyway, emo is nothing to do with gender. At least not gay gothic turn retarded though.
    It's hard to differenciate emo,goth,punk and metal fans based on appearance. (although punk might be easier to notice based on their spikiness).
    It's more of a different in thinking style.

    Afterall it's just a person's like and style. Why make a fuss

    Emo is short for emocore which is short for emotive hardcore, a genre of music that went mainstream in the late 80s and early 90s. The bands and followers of emocore wore the hair and clothes of today's stereotypical emo.

    Emo does not mean depressed. Emos, and goths for that matter, can be the most accepting people in your school. They don't care about your race, religion, or sexual orientation. If you're a nice person that they can get along with, they'll be nice to you, which is more than you can say about pretty much anyone else.

    Ugh...
    So many people don't understand the true meaning of 'emo'.
    Emo is...
    1. A state of mind in which you, if ever, express emotions, it's rare and barely anything.
    2. A genre of music. Many bands are put under this style.
    3. A clothing style. You can find a lot of stuff for this at Hot Topic...
    Emos do not always cut, most people that cut aren't emos.
    Barely any emos are gay or bisexual, only some are.
    Please, just think over what the real meaning of the word is before you judge.
    I am not emo, I don't think I'll ever be.
    I am frequently called emo and labeled, but I don't really care what they say.

    Actually, no. Emo is a subculture derived from the musical genre Emo, also known as Emotive Hardcore. Instead of being all happy sunshine lollipops about life, most are more realistic or pessimistic.

    Basically, not gay goths.

    Dude, seriously?
    Hating on emos doesn't make things any better. Maybe you should realize that they're not just random people who cut their wrists for no reason. They usually lead lives that suck, and they can't do anything about it. This isn't a reason for people to start hating on them.

    Not all emos cut themselves. I used to, but I got bored of it. I do like Heavy metal, and I don't act all depressed all the time. My schools emos are a lot different than they are stereotyped to be. In fact, emos and normal people co-exist decently. We don't even get bullied.

    Okay, I'm emo and I don't apperiate it. Emo is short for being emotional. here are two types,

    One - that cuts themselves
    Two - that wears a certain type of clothing and listens to a certain type of music

    I'm the latter, and it's basically skinny jeans, music shirts and make-up! I like every type of music! I like screamo and hard metal, but I also like classic rock, pop, hip-hop, classical and even some country. My friends think I one of the happiest people in the world and I am. You shouldn't sterotype emos because we are people who don't deserve to be treated that way! Especially the ones who need help because their life is horrible!

    You should want to help them! The haters are the reason that emos think life isn't worth living.

    Can i just say, Emo's are not all about being depressed and slitting there wrists. Most emo's are happy with who they are. Emo is the music they like, the clothes they wear and yeah maybe they like too have there hair over one eye. But people class all emos as sad,depressed people who self harm. when half the people are emo's because they like the music ect. Its just another label like Chav. But people dont diss chavs half as much as they doo emo's.
    Im not an emo myself but it gets me mad when people talk about thm and class them when you dont know the person soo u cant judge them.
    Lol. sorry for the rant :P
