actually... your idea of punk is definately the poser kind. if you were to go to a indie style record store and ask where the punk was, like "green day" and "blink 182" they would probably smirk a little bit, because it's funny that you think that that is punk. they would want to laugh, but i would hope they wouldn't because that would be mean. \n\nreal punk is more like the bands "rancid" and "against me", which i'm sure you would NOT like if you like green day and blink 182.

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...

I understand where you're coming from, my mom is basically clueless to the teen styles/social classes. EMO is short for emotional. at an age of changing hormones and fighting to fit in, if ppl don't find a place in the social chain where they can fit in, then they often start to block out alot of the world around them and try to seek shelter inside their mind hoping somehow they'll find a friend. EMO kids usually wear kind of a mix of rocker/punk/goth clothing but not full strand to either one. like a typical emo kid would prolly have a black shirt sporting a heavy metal band or just skulls flames and stuff like that, dark colored jeans usually tight, wristbands to their elbows, spikey dyed hair, and other dark colored accessories. hope after you get through decoding all of my ramblings that this helps.

Hmm...for the real goth information go to goth.net.  I don't think I could give you  a comprehensive explanation here. Wikipedia surely has some entries for 'emo'. Well, good luck.  P.S. thank you for not accepting stereotypes! :)

EMO means emotional and is used in music a lot. Like My Chemical Romance, AFI or The Used those kind of bands.

HAHAH lol actually emo comes from the term emotional, but it is actually more than that. Emo is the term used for the people who put in their IM names that they will kill themselves, and put pictures in their sites of them cutting themselves and taht sort of thing. Emo people who arent out for attention usually get picked on anyway and its kinda sad. But emo is just attention looking people who do it in the way that they say they are cutting themselves or going to commit suicide.

Emo, I am not emo. It is like when you get all depressed. You cut yourself on your wrists. You cover your eyes with you hair and you listen to depressing music.

Emos are the next generation goths.  Kids who were likely to be goths were also likely to be bi or gay if they were male.  Same thing goes for Emos.  They are cute though -- if I were young and alone I migth be tempted, even if they are often sad.  \n\nBe happy.\n\nReyn

I have no problems with emos.  Music and style are inter-related especially for those in their teens early 20's and emos are just a part of ongoing trends.  In the sixties you had the Mods and hippies who most probably did not get along either.  I say be who ya wanna be and do what ya wanna do and as long as you are not doing any harm to yourself or other people then have fun!

emo used to be just a type of music. and emo beliefs aren't different. emo kids are said to be more emotional but emo isn't even short for emotional if you actually know what it means. and emo isn't necessarily dashboard confessional or hawthorne heights. it wasn't when the term first originated.\n\ncharacteristics: side bangs, band shirts, guys in girl pants, often associated with being bi or gay or being a cutter\n\nemo teens just are another stereotype\nyes, maybe they are in touch with their emotions but it's not exactly what it was supposed to be.\nemo kids are generally more understanding of different things... such as homosexuality, different races, etc.\nit's just another way of expression

i am kinda emo...emo is not JUST about cutting yourself it is also about ROCKING OUT.  but it does talk about how life can suck and how nobody understands them.  simple plan, good charlotte, green day, mcr, aar, they are all good examples.
