WTF is an "emo"?

All I know is that they are the people who wear those thick black glasses. I know there's more to it...

Depressed people that think it's cool to listen to cut-your-wrist music, wear lots of cordoroy, and those stupid buddy holly glasses.

I have seen an APO t-shirt on Ebay described as "emo."

I THINK NOT!

ooh! ooh! I went to an ostrich farm last week in Aruba, and they had Emu there as well. Ostriches have two toes and Emu have three - that's how you tell the difference!

I'm finally useful for something?


http://www.fourfa.com/

http://www.dobi.nu/emo/

Within the past five years or so, "emo" has come to describe a lot of pop-punk bands with a darker side a la Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, and their ilk. I think that there's a difference, but usually when you hear people refer to emo within a pop cultural context, that's what they're referring to.



And dude, I was making fun of emo kids before y'all were even born, so don't start.

Haha, not me! Those things are cute from a distance, but WATCH OUT if you have food or if you're wearing something sparkly!

I think my brother is emo.

He's got the Buddy Holly glasses, the multi color shoes and listens to all that whiney punk pop music. And he's as thin as a twig.
