well, i look on a couple of blogs today, and found a post on HAVE YOU SEEN MY SHOE?:
this is the postwell, i decided to do some study upon this subject myself, through the heavenly world of urbandictionary.com. i found quite a few definitions, some funny, some insightful, some just weird. i have also included the one posted on the other blog, for all you lazy people.
if just decided to tackle the emo subculture, not the music. everybody knows what emo music is. if you don't, well there's a small post about it below...perfect definition...lol
here we go:
-/-
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

Punk music on estrogen...The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side...
girlfriend: C'mon, lets have sex.
boyfriend: I'm too sad to have sex.
girlfriend: I'm sad too; lets have sex and cry.
boyfriend: I'm already crying.

An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:
1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.
This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!

When she sees how sensitive and emo I have become, she'll definately go out with me!

My life sucks, I want to cry.

Emo can be used to describe a person who listens to obscene amounts of "emo" music. Many (but not all) emo kids are usually found wearing Chuck Taylor shoes, used T-shirts with random prints (usually found in thrift stores) and often wear thick, black, plastic glasses (even with no prescription).

Stands for "Estrogen Masculine Output". The masculine form of the word "PMS".

1. Style stolen from goths, punks, and other various counter-culture genres. The emo males wear a shit-ton of eye liner and mascara so they can have black streaks running down their cheeks to be more dramatic when they cry.
2. In their spare time, the emo kids wander around looking for a girl to make out with. Girls are somehow sexually attracted to the pseudo-alternative types, so they make out with them and move on. The emo males then have blue balls and emotional problems and go listen to their boring, sobby, shitty-ass bands to help them thrive whilst in emmense pain. They hide in the corners and say phrases such as "Oh shadowy darkness." or "Why the fuck am I such a big pussy?" Then they put excessive hair product in their never-changing hairdo, and go off wandering. Rinse and repeat.

The emo 'style' is in short, a mixture of geeky sweaters and glasses, and piercings and tattoos. This is an ironically 'un-cool' thing and is now cool. Some people who were true emos have now abandoned the style out of a loss of identity.

Emo is punk meets prep with a little goth thrown in. These idiots wants to be hard and individualstic like punks, but have the arrogance of preps and end up all looking the same, like preps and they all seem to be in a constant state of melancholy, like goths.

Emo has a very large and dedicated group of followers who are totaly hated by the 3.0492% of the world population that they have yet to assimilate. They usually have long, dark, greasy hair, very tight or punkesque clothes, emo glasses, and can often be found bitching about things or pretending to be punks or nerds, which they are not.

Emotive melodies. Most is found through the emotional lyrics about love, bening lonely, depression, sadness, and hate. There is also a sound that is found through the music. This sounds is a hardcore punk, including much screaming. Now, we believe emotive music to be Dashboard Confessional, Thursday, Bright Eyes and Weezer. Origional emo, is nothing alike. New emo just isn't right.
Emo fashion. Emo fashion is said to be "dead" nowadays. But along with that trend, it is becoming more popular. Emo fashion consists the 'nerdy', 'geeky' look mixed with a 'preppy' trend. The "look" includes the black, thick framed glasses, knitted, fitted sweaters, scarves, thick black hair, fitted tight dark jeans, along with the vintige tightly fitted shirt. It is rumoured that most "emo boys" have a feminine side to them, and may be nancyboy's. But please, don't judge.
The culture of an "emo" is stereotyped to be 'straight egde', 'vegan', and depressed (as well as always writing pooetry) though that is not the case. There is nothing wrong with being any of those, but the stereotypical lifestyle doesn't need to consist of so. Don't label folk'.

A male person, typically between the ages of 20 to 35, whose nature is firmly entrenched within a policy of excessively up-to-date fashions and self-apologetic philosophies. While it may seem that the emo boy is a sensitive and sincere archetype, most instances are typically narcissistically and oedipally motivated…emo boys gather much of their inspiration from the more nihilistic aspects of 1980's rock/punk bands, typically due to it's prolifically morose tones and androgynous fashions. In other words, the emo boy is a xy chromosome-based apology for the sinful excesses of a patriarchal society, achieved chiefly through the adoption of more stereotypically feminine traits while outwardly denying identification with the more stereotypically bad male attributes and behaviors. Non-muscular, distant, quietly vain, sensitive, nice, cultured, apologetic, and intimately dark; the emo boy chooses to correlate as closely as possible to the label of 'deep' through careful censorship and grooming, rather than by way of erudition and direct illumination (which could be viewed as adversarial or condescending) even though the average emo boy displays a higher capacity for intellect than most other male fashion-identifiable cliques.

if you can't read it, unless the zoom tool, or if you really want, make use of those thick black rimmed, non prescription lenses and stick magnifying lenses in them. lol. that was a great post.

A group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.
