Emoooooooooo?

Question

the term emo has been bounced around a lot these days- it's been used as a way to describe a type of music, but also people. just curious of you're definition of emo.

please don't leave hate comments it's just a simple question and im truly curious to see whaat YOU'RE opinion are.

:)

Answer 1

Well, my opinion of emo used to be a style of music.

But then people started misusing the term and calling depressed people emo. So I guess to me now, it also means that.

But a lot of people I know, they just call scene people emo, so to them, it's the fashion sense.

Hope that helpss :)

Answer 2

well, emo does mean emotional, so isn't everyone emo? i think that label is so stupid.

Answer 3

Well, my son came home one day and I heard him talk with his friend using that term. I asked what it meant, and he said it refers to kids that are  a bit different from the norm, Gothic, punk, piercings, ect.

Answer 4

i'll try to make it short:

to me, emo is truly a genre of music, and i think way back when it was created, it wasnt made to label a bunch of people. but i guess the music got its own style, free of charge.

i guess i could be hypoctritical, cuz i defintely use "emo" to describe people...but i think so many people use it too lightly and all emos cut and if u do cut, youre emo. and theres such an unnecessary stereotype. lol. thats my opinon.
