Emo is a music genre. It is usually reatled to emotional lyrics in music that tends to be called screamo. It is a popular and quick growing genre. It is also partially a fashion that is considered to be people with black hair that covers one eye and that may have hilights with bright colors like bleached blond, red, pink, yellow, green, blue, etc.. Emo boys tend to have longer hair with spikes in the back and girls have major layers up high giving a short hair look with a thinner long straight layer. Some emo girls have longer or shorter hair, but there are many ways to wear that kind of hair and to have it styled in a way to be considered emo. Most emo kids now-a-days tend to wear a lot of eyeliner in solid black lines (boys and girls) and the girls ocasionally wear bright shades of eyeliner (usually pigment) they also wear studded belts, thick glasses, usually square-rimmed, but not always, skinny jeans, classic vans slip-ons (usually checkered), band tees, some have tatoos, jackets with skeletons, wrist bands, classic chuck taylor converse (usually in solid colors but any style, including hi-tops, low cuts, etc.) etc.. Emos enjoy to take black and white photos and tend to be very creative and love art. Many emo kids can say that their iPod is "a 5th limb" and totally attached to them because they love it. Many emos are accused of being whiny, emotional, self centered, poem writing, sad song writing, tight pant wearing, losers. They are also accused of self-mutilation, aka cutting themselves. But the reality is that most emo kids are fun people if you get to know them, quiet and shy, and DO NOT CUT. Another type of people, alot like emos, are goths and scene kids. Scene kids dress the same but are usually more fun loving and more lively. Goths wear more victorian styled clothing including chockers and all black. Some people just don't understand these kinds of people but that's because they just don't know about them. When your educated, you tend to get them better.PLEASE VOTE BEST ANSWER I SPENT ALOT OF TIME AND MOST OF MY KNOWLEDGE ON THIS SUBJECT ON THIS QUESTION!!! I WORKED VERY HARD!!
