The image you present has a lot to do with how people judge you.  If you dress in clothes that are outside the norm, people tend to see that as threatening.\n\nConsider again how the boys who murdered all those kids in Columbine were dressed.  They had attitudes, carried themselves poorly, and then got angry when others judged them.  From what I've seen, emos tend to act like everybody rejects them, and so they do.  It's kind of like the way my ex husband kept telling me how everybody saw him as ugly and people got frustrated with it and left.\n\nTry showing a more positive attitude and see how far you get with it.

I hate emo but i think it got popular when the popular kids thought punk was cool, but they still wanted to stay in their surreal world that no one appreciates (exept them). They are just one more group of people to hate. I think Weezer started the emo movement, but My Chemical Romance passed a line that should not have been crossed.

mmmhmm \nbut if you listen to them it doesn't make you emo or anything, a lot of their songs are more alternative than anything.

She's just dumb.\nHer songs aren't speaking to people, whereas emos, have something to talk about and a reason for their msic.

Because most people feel that Emo kids are acting like it for attention & because it's trendy & that irritates people. Everyone has problems & feels depressed at times, but Emo kids try to shove it down everyone's throats & make a statement by being so meloncholy, and it's irritating.

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.

i am an emo girl and i have lots of emo friends...\n\nfind them at libraries, coffee shops, book stores, art museums and music venues like concerts, music stores etc... bookish and artistic people are moody people-- mostly known as emo people... you'll enjoy hanging around them for they can easily relate to you... some people mistaken bookish and artistic people as nerds... but that's wrong.. not all are nerds... most are emo people. :)

i have no clue but i asked a question similar to this one a while back i think that that whole sterotype is just so nasty and disgusting and all these kids want is attention so if pple dont give that to them they'll stop, but we live in a society full of those kinda pple and its nasty and disgusting, thye also listen to the worst music ever and thats what is on the radio half of the time even though the music is completely pointless and stupid it is sending out horribly messages to kids to do stupid thing, its so annoying to like in the middle of the emo songs they will just be like random sccream and grunts its gross and i can't believe any person in the right mind would sign anyone singing that shit (but i guess those people weren't in their right mind obviuously) but yeah this can go on for days so im just gonna stop here\n\nthere\nis\nno\npoint\nto\nemo\nits\ncomplete\ntrash\nand\nthe \nworst\nsterotype\nor\ntrend \never

I hate emo too, you really have a good sense of humor!  Anyway, one of my favorite rock songs has probably got to be between "Red Hot Moon" by Rancid or "Gone With My Wind" by The Dead Kennedys.

EMo is a style of music as well as person that is generally unhappy and highly emotional.  In general, real emo kids are pretty rare.  Usually an emo kid is self contained and not responsive to outside stimulus unless they believe the ideas are highly beneficial.  Unlike the cretin that answered first, it's not just specific music... it is the people who respond to that music that demonstrate "emo".  For example, you could say the blues is EMO- which it is- but EMO kids don't listen to it, so it's not.

I don't like rap or hip hop, but I don't go around ragging on it and saying how much I hate it like some people on this site do.  It's the same thing with a lot of emo bands, I personally don't like that kind of music at all, but I don't think it's right to go and bash on people who do.  It's completely demeaning to the artists who have worked hard to make the music and albums and to the people who listen to and enjoy the music.  \n\nI personally don't like rap because I find that I have nothing in common with any of the lyrics, I don't really like the loud bass, and I can't appreciate the beats.  I also don't like hip hop because I don't "connect" with those lyrics, and I don't much like singing.  My favorite genre of music is punk, which is loud and fast and has pretty much nothing in common with rap/hip hop.  It's just a difference is styles and preference of music, I guess...\n\nI also don't really have a set stereotype of people who listen to that type of music.  So many people like rap and hip hop that it is hard to generalize.  The only thing that I have noticed is that people who listen to rap are much more inclined to blast it from their stereos while they are driving down the street or in traffic next to the other cars.  It can get pretty annoying, especially if you don't like the music.  But that's pretty much all that I've noticed...

the rock world is full of childsh little kids all having a pop at eachother for liking different music, no one should judge anyone for liking music. im not an emo fan myself but atleast these bands are playing there own songs and instruments. people need to grow up and just chill out

Fool, Emo sucks beyond anything ever made. All those goddamn emo kids do is stand around adn cry when they listen to music. The whole self-masochism thing is way uncool.

Too many.  Most of their songs are painful, though the less shouty ones are really nice.\n\nYou might as well ask, 'How many emos in the world?'
