Answer 8

emo - EMOtional...

basically its people who dress to how their mood is.. act and respond on how they are feeling- because they are not good at controlling their emotions... hence why people would make fun of them, because they will cut their wrists, or cry. Cutting wrists is very misunderstood... people think that people do it just to harm themselves,  but thats wrong. Cutting yourself releases a chemical called "endorphins" into your body, what is a natural feel good drug... so it gives them a sence of relif mometarily.

Answer 9

Retarded misguided youth who need to find their 'true self' and resort to anything and everything that is different to set themselves apart from civilized society, for instance wearing a dew rag or beanie when it's 80 degrees outside. The hippies of the 2000's.

Answer 10

Emo is short for emotive rock. It is a subgenre of both indie rock and hardcore. Steroetypically, most of the things the other people in here said makes an "emo". However, they are not to be confused with Gothic, even though they wear black. Emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long bangs brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands (or other designed shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. In recent years, emo, in the popular media, has been associated with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angsty. It is also associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide

The difference between emo and goth is that emo people usually come from well-to-do families in the suburbs and attempt to gain as much attention as possible by doing whatever they can against the norm. This includes finding whatever they can to make them seem more depressed and "deep" emotionally. All that is used as means to attract women by appealing to their emotions.
