    It means that use and don't recognize a non-existent word and or they probably put use the word in a negative way being predjudice against a certain group of people because they don't understand or won't take into context and be humble by expressing into stereotype and have sympthathy and trying to help those who have problems.

    I'm really getting sick of all these steriotypes.

    Emo's originally don't cut themselves, true, some (read: alot)
    do cut themselves but the original emo steriotype does not
    cut him/herself.

    An emo is one who wears black, listens to the emo subgenre,
    has "emo hair" (flippy thing), writes poetry/songs, shows (too
    much) emotion, has a strong feeling of not being understood.

    That's pretty much the steriotype. Now everyone who acts
    thusly can be called emo, the rest can't.

    For me, emo's are people who have a severe lack of self esteem, and like to feel sorry for themselves. We all have our problems. The whole idea of being emo is pathetic IMO.

    What springs to mind firstly is a fashion. A fashion that I do follow, I'll add.
    But let's not take fashion in the generic sense of the word;
    I believe this style of dress and appearance is who I am. I don't dress like this because most other people I know do, or because it makes me appear attractive to people, I do it because I think it looks good. This is who I am. Or at least how I like to represent myself.
    Musically - Emocore developed out of Hardcore Punk Rock music of the 80's. It pretty much has nothing in common with the Emos of today, as far as I know. Basically the music has more emotional lyrics, sometimes more emotional sounding vocals. What would be classed by many as Emo music today is bands like Dashboard Confessional, The Spill Canvas, Jimmy Eat World, etc etc. What these bands have in common is that they express a lot of emotion in their lyrics. That's about it.
    All of the self harm rubbish - No. Just no. Self harm is really common among teenagers, no matter what cliche they are from. I know this because I am a teenager, and therefore a good majourity of my friends are teenagers. If self harm is more common amongst those who dress/listen to "Emo", it is probably because the type of people who are attracted to emotional music are people who are emotional people to begin with. Duh.
    That's what Emo means to me, anyway...

    I need to figure out how to hide my lack of foreign vocabulary at this point and crack a joke to change the topic efficiently.

    Why do people have these conversations?

    Emo means music, it doesn't mean a lifestyle. It doesn't mean I walk around angry and depressed. I think people take the "meaning" or what they think is the meaning a little too far. And it angers me, because it's completely ruining a style of music I tend to enjoy.

    Someone suggested wikipedia, I'd suggest the same thing.

    Bands like MCR, and these pop-punk stupid bands who latch on to this crap and try to make it something it's not are ruining everything.
    now safe beneath their wisdom, and their feet;
    here i will teach you truly how, to sleep.
