Flash back - Are you an emo?


Yes, we know that "emo-es" are another type of people

When you are sad and you complain about how wrong things are around you, people around you may call you an "emo".

To those who does not know the real term, it is not the abbreviation of "emotional".



E = mo squared. An overworked Einstein resorts to be an "emo"


Emo: Punk music on estrogen and a reason for boys to act like girls

I would not really explain the historical and politically correct usage of "emo", but what rather interests me is the fashion and stereotypes of people branded as "emo-es".

The word "emo" is associated with males and females who:
  • Wears tight jeans (preferably dark)
  • Have long fringes brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes


Emo hairstyles for guys. Never fails to attract "emo" chicks

  • Dyed black and straight hair


Emo hairstyles for girls. Into it?


  • Think rimmed glasses.



  • Yes sir! Black = Emo

    In the recent year, "emo" according to the eyes of the media, has been associated with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy and introverted.

    They are even sometimes compared with mental anxieties and disorders such as depression, self-injury and suicide.

    Emos hate themselves
    Goths hate everyone
    Emos want to kill themselves
    Goths want to kill everyone

    Quoted by Chelsea Lewis

    "Emo-es" are know for being sad all the time

    *Dude, I'm sad, I feel like cutting myself*

    I hope that I have at least cleared up the meaning of "emo". It is a popular trend nowadays, which may be detrimental to the society (due to the mental disorders and anxieties).

    However, if you just want to dress as one I really do hope that the above pictures and examples could be useful.

    The most common definition of the word "EMO" is....

    • When everything seems to go wrong, they will spend a lot of time unneccessarily picking about their mistakes, other people's mistakes, how the world can be a better place, how they could have changed that world, how other people can change their world, etc etc etc. The list goes on.
    Don't be a little pussy! Meow!
    • Honestly speaking, I can be an emo myself? When my results are bad or when I just wake up from the wrong side of the bed, I will just be a glum the whole entire day.
    • The best solution that I have found? Grow up! I have become matured (slightly more matured, if you think I am boasting) in my thoughts. I don't have a STD - Self Transmitted Depression. I get over things fast. Follow the Joker guys! Why so SerIouSsssSsss?
    Life may not be a joke, but why so serious?

    So fellas out there, do you think you're an emo? If so, which type are you - A fashionistic self styler as an emo punk rocker? Or a glum sour grape who moans all day long?

    You decide. As for now, I'm drinking some eno, the best solution to dissolve extra "emo-ness" left in my stomach.
