emo is when you're totally heartbroken and sometimes you wear eyeliner (boy or girl) and you usually have a emo girlfriend/boyfriend.  you love to wear lots of black and you have skin tight black pants.  when you're emo you dont care about anybody and you almost hate the world. you love to listen to emo music that totally relates to you. you quote emo music lines. basically, you're sad all the time...

Okay, here's the thing. Emo is a term short for "Emotional". These kids sit at home crying to themselves, feeling sorry for themselves. They get their little hissy fits out by listening to My Chemical Romance and other such crap. Now, there's alot more music out there which can express how you feel, whether it's positive or not, but it's sure as hell better than listening to "How can this happen to me..." Jesus, how can it happen to me that some idiot actually gave Simple Plan a recording contract?\n\nAnd I've had a hard life. Heavy metal all the way. But I channel my anger, I don't mope. Do you hear kids in Rwanda listening to that sh*t??!!\n\n\nI wish my lawn was emo, then it would cut itself...

Emo is a really broad term and means different things to different people.  Weezer's new songs sound really cheezy and have that theme of longing and teen angst (like EMO), but there's not that deep self-hatred that Emo bands love putting in their songs.  Plus, as high as Rivers Cuomo's voice is, it's not nearly Emo-whiny enough.  I definitely miss the early 90's Weezer.

Easy: Misinformation. It's kinda long, but I was wanting to cover as much as I could.\n\nIt would seem even you are misinformed on the matter ;)\nEmo is only as deep as the music goes. Emo stands for "Emotive Hardcore", and is not related to many of the bands that are labeled "emo" by the mainstream today. If you want real emo, check up Rites of Spring, Fugazi, Get Up Kids, and early Jimmy Eat World (Pre-Bleed American). Jimmy Eat World changing style is the main reason there is a flawed view of what's emo in todays culture. AFI, FOB, Taking Back Sunday, etc. ARE NOT emo, but rather often alternative and such.\nEmo originally had nothing to do with the today's "scene-kid", but from the misinformation being spread wide by the media.\nThank you for letting me take a chance to spread this fact ;)\n\nNow the stereotyping on Scene-kids(for I refuse to call them emo). The name emo itself is degrading, many thinking it to mean "emotional"(but really meant Emotive Hardcore as explained earlier). This is associated with the cutting, whining, etc. as the extremely emotional kids did this. The bands too put out this image, with images such as blood(from an inferred slit wrist) dripping onto a love letter. I have no idea where the stereotypical view of bisexuals came into the emo world, but it does raise the question why a large number of bisexuals associate themselves with the scene-kid culture, and took a sudden rise with the gaining popularity of scene-kids.\n\nMyspace is another place where the stereotypes arrived. With the new cool thing to do being the scene-kid, people tried to impress any one who would view their profile by putting up blogs of their latest cutting experience(true or not), the hair-dos, bands, and imagery. Many people see their first scene-kids on myspace, and the myspace population seems to be filled with their influence. As we all know, myspace has millions of users, and almost all of them are being flooded with these stereotypical images, enforcing the image laid on scene-kids in many.\n\nWith this being said, it would best be yourself. Associate with what cultures you wish, and do as YOU think is cool, not considered cool. If people didn't try to fit in with the scene-kid image, I can guarantee the stereotypes wouldn't be so strongly enforced.\n\nThank you for reading, and hopefully this taught you on the history, and reasons of the stereotype on the culture. If you have any questions, on this culture, or other ones such as goth, feel free to ask me. I spend much of my free time thinking about, and researching cultures and stereotypes as they interest me greatly.\nG'day.

I believe it's an acronym for SCarEy EMO... kind a cross between a goth and an emo...

Emo (from emotional) is a slang term used to describe a wide range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music and its related scenes. The word "emo" may be used as a noun to describe a member of the emo scene, or as an adjective to describe a certain style of fashion or music.

I thought emocore was short for "emotional hardcore" the music from the NY NJ area during the 80's that has soft passages and queer lyrics(very gay stuff) between bludgeoning guitar riffs. This emocore was probably just shortened down to the popular crappy music known as Emo. Just remember to wear your sister's black nutthugger jeans, and comb your silly hair down over your chin!!!
