Emo
17 Answers
My 15 year old daughter, at the weekend, met an old friend from her primary school whom she hadn't seen since leaving there 5 years ago.
When I asked her what she was like now, my daughter told me she was "such an emo".
What on earth is she on about?

You know the ones - sits in, listening to My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and The Cure (yes, the Cure - still popular with our neo-goth friends...!), watching teen dramas, feeling the EMOtions in songs and art. Kicks in with the hormones.
Actually, all the above answers are spot on. I should know - I've bred one here, and it's impossible to define her really. Suffice it to say she's heading with a busload of emo mates to see 30 Seconds To Mars on friday.

The Emo kids are just another 'tribe'. Most teenagers will follow whatever fashion is dictated to them, Emo's tend to not quite want to run with the rest of the crowd so they are a bit more individual which I think is admirable. As I said before they all seem to come from nice families (although that may just be round here) and are usually lovely kids, I'd be more than happy if my son was 'emo'
I often describe my daughter as an 'emo' but she says she is more of a 'scene' kid...description here

she calls her 'normal' brother a 'chav 'LOL so maybe that's what she would call your daughter (no offence)

Panic At The Disco aren't emo whickerman!!! =O
I'm going to see them in march!
Everyones descriptions are about right apart from whickerman (three of my favourite bands are in there! And I'm not 'emo' ) Just kidding, well I don't like to hear them called emo but I'm not being nasty =]
Tell the girl's mother quick!! -rolls eyes-
"Emo's cut themselves"
Don't worry, most of them dont. Most 'emos' just enjoy the music and fashion and get steriotyped as self harmers.
Warning: This video is extremely American and over the top.
As for your daughter, well at my school she'd probably just be called normal. Anyone who likes anything remotely rock-ish in my school is automaticly a 'goth', anyone who wears a tracksuit is a 'ned' and everyone one else is normal.
Apparently.
