What does Emo stand for?

I think I am getting a bit out of touch with the youth of today...

beanyb · 17-01-2008 04:55PM

I'm pretty sure it's short for emotional. I wish I didnt know that.

Means they like My Chemical Romance and the like, have hair coming down over their face (boys & girls have same style) often straightened highlighted or coloured, tight jeans, black clothes (to an extent)...

I once heard someone answer that same question by saying that it was a petrol station. The person got really confused and couldn't figure out why teenagers were calling themselves emo.

beanyb · 17-01-2008 05:00PM

They also like to think that they're really depressed. And look down on happy people. That's where the emotional bit comes from.

listermint · 17-01-2008 05:00PM

its a petrol station:rolleyes:;)

I'm not sure but i think its something to do with being a homosexual and a cranky bítch at the same time. Intricate balancing act IMHO

Basically the same thing as idiot, dumb ass.. etc..

Riesen_Meal · 17-01-2008 05:03PM

Ah the mighty emo, my cousin is one apparently, she likes all these brutal rock bands, taken back sunday, my chemical romance, and a few other tack-tastic ones!

Maybe im just getting old but most of that kind of rock music is far more generic than the grunge/indie music I listened to (and still do) in my day.....

Had to laugh though(and take a pic and send it to said cousin!)- I was in Kealys pub beside the Airport the other day and someone wrote on the toilet door

"I wish my lawn was an emo so it would cut itself" - Oh how I laughed, brilliant...

briantwin · 17-01-2008 05:08PM

Emo......Hahaha
Dont worry you're not out of touch even the Emos dont know what it means although i think it has something to do with being appathetic, hating your parents and listening to sh*te music (My Chemical Romance) whilst growing your fringe and gelling it down over half of your face. Also you might notice that they are all striving for individuality by dressing the exact same (skinny jeans, checkered print runners and multiple studded belts). If you want to observe the movements of these curious creatures you could go to Fibbers tonight or just head to Central Bank and watch the herd around the place.

Ok, I'm far from an emo, goth etc however, i am familiar with both Emo and Samaratians and didn't like your assumption of emo = sucide!
Anyways... got our wires crossed.. You confirmed what you meant so i understand now.

They're kinda like the goth kids of about ten or fifteen years ago, but instead of bitching about how horrible society is and that life is full of misery and pain or what-not, they complain about no-one understanding them and their complex individuality which they assert by joining in the latest fad.

The goths had cooler clothes though
