What exaxtly is emo, cause I know alot of people that say they're emo but they're not all alike, and do all emo cut themselves?

emotional.

well being emo isnt exactly what you look like or what music you listen too.Its very steryotypical. people just class emos as depressed all the time,they cut and listen to sad music 24/7,but its not exactly the case. there basically just sensitive, shy, broken-hearted, glum and quitet,because of bad things that have happened in the past,some times they write poems to keep these dark times out of there minds.
Many people think that its just a fashion,it is part of it, with the band T's,Skinny jeans etc. and also the music like My chemical romance,dashboard confessional etc. but i think its much more than that,its a way of life. but not all emos cut,they just like the style of hair and things,and see the world as a beautiful place but the people in it not so good- as the word 'Emo' varies from person to person.

WTF? Are ALL of you sterio-types?

Emo's are emotional people!

You just have a emo STYLE if you have black hair and all that sh*t, but we don't ALL have to LOOK alike.

Not all EMOTIONAL people cut. I use to, but not anymore.

Emo is like black hair, with purple red or dark blue streaks. Emos sometimes wear dark clothing and not all emos cut themselves.

it doesnt matter what kinda of music you listen too, doesnt matter about the clothes or hair or any if that crap! if ppl really think thats whats emos are then they're posters!! emo* (emotional) they see the world different.. more torturing then comforting.. it just depends on how you see things.. either you see the glass half full or half empty.. you get me? nothing about the appearance!! just the mind. but sure most of them express it differently..
