What makes a person "Emo"... Is It their looks as well as their personality?

Emo kids are sterotypically emotional, whiny kids that... well... look at the first link to see how they dress and look at the second link to read more about them.\nPretty much if you have a myspace.com account you will run into plenty of them.\nThey're also referred to as 'scene' kids because they want to be where the best scene is aka where the good concerts are and what not.

ugh, yet another question like this. One thing you must realize is that emo started off with music. The emo scene came out of Washington DC and was popular in the 80's over the years the meaning of 'emo' has been distorted by people who took it too far. If you have to ask 'how to be an emo' then don't bother. If you don't know what it means at all and just see it as a way of fitting in with the kids who are supposedly 'emo'. Also for those who believe that being emo means that you slit your wrists and are depressed then you are way off base. That stereotype was created by people who took the meaning of emo to extremes. Emo came from bands who would get 'emotional' during shows and so it developed. How you take emo is your business but you shouldn't pretend to be something your not to impress anyone or to fit in. Besides fitting in is overrated and pointless. I suggest you do some much needed research and then look into a mirror and ask yourself if the person staring back is who you really are. \n\n\nIgnorance is bliss

god. some people are so critical of the idea of "emo".\n\nwhat's so horrible of the idea of being in touch with your feelings?\n\nas for your question: try listening to the band Funeral For A Friend. if you like all those genres, their latest cd, Hours, should be a great match for you.

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...

I totally agree. People are so mean and rude sometimes, emo music is great and the style is awesome. I dont know what's wrong with people.

I am emo, and I don't cut myself, so not all of us do, some do some don't.  Just depends on the person.

I don't think there is a BEST quality . . . I think that several qualities combined make a person special.  Specifically, honesty, compassion, sincerity, caring, and a good personality . . . all combined.  Just one doesn't do it!

There's a lot of people who listen to emo out there. I drove by my old high school the other day, and saw a legion of emo kids in horn-rimmed glasses and too-tight concert tees, so that's not particularly special or unique.\n\nMaybe this sounds a little pessimistic, but I don't think many of us are special. Unique, maybe--we're all just humans, we each have our own little quirks and whatnot, but that in no way makes us special or any better than anyone else. Special people are the ones that make history, the ones that cure diseases, the ones that create art that's talked about for centuries.

You can usually tell an 'Emo' from a fashion view by floppy girlish hair (usually in face/over eyes) or big afro-style hairstyles on boys tight-fitting hipster jeans/chords, the colours black, red and purple. Longsleeved shirts where the cuffs come down over the hands. Loving to be miserable attitude. Think most of the poppish rock bands on the music channels. \n\nMany emos look like a cross between a modern goth and part hippy.\n\nSkaters are exactly that- skaters. Or people who want to dress like skaters- Avril Lavigne would love to be called a skater (but she's not... shudder). Below knee length shorts, padded trainers, hooded tops.\n\nChavvies are 'chavs'. You can usually tell a chav (from a fashion perspective) by large baseball cap either placed high on head or very low, hooded top (with hood over baseball cap), no socks, white trainers, tracksuit bottoms (usually white or blue for boys, pink for girls) hitched up about 2 inches above foot to show off ankles, gold chains, skin-tight ponytails for girls, big gold hoop earrings and really bad anti-social attitudes.  Other things to look out for is teenage pregnancy, bad housing estates, mobile phones, theft and burberry. Only available in the UK ;-)

Ok well yoo know how people label other people who wear black "goths"? .. yeah well.. \nWell the label "emo" is like ummmm... its hard to explain. xD\nBut basically the typical "emo" wears tight clothes, depressed, listen to emo music, wears kinda punky clothes and ummm has an emo fringe\n.. It's all just stereotypical crap really
