I think you guys are getting genuinely depressed people mixed up with emos. there are heaps of emos at my school and they don't show any indications that they are depressed, they just wear funny clothes, and as far as i know thats all it is, a fasion trend.

I'm certainly not 'emo', whatever it means. I just see it as a modern day extension of the New Romantics group that appeared in the early 80's.
I don't dislike someone who considers themselves 'emo' , people have the right to adopt whatever lifestyle they want. What really fucking annoys me though is when bands become 'emo', purely because something in their song is seen as overly emotional, or they wear black, or they place rock music, or they choose not to have distorted guitar, or they have long fringes...the list goes on.
I get called emo/scene all the time but I don't really care...I mean....I'm me....and I'm the cutest little thing any of my (girl) friends have ever seen lol ^_^
Yeah, i wish i wasn't alive. In fact i can't even be killed because i can't take any more pain. If someone shot me in the head with a gun i would still be alive because after all the pain i have taken, i can't take anymore.
The only "emos" I have a problem with are the ones who aren't really emos at all and just feel this need to fit under some stereotype to define themselves. Many of them will—and a couple people have admitted this directly to me—act depressed to get attention from those around them. That's not something that annoys me specifically about the people who strive to be emos, considering anyone who pretends to be depressed for attention annoys the ever-loving crap out of me.
That said, I have a couple friends of the garden-variety emo type who just wear the clothing and excessive eyeliner. They're actually pretty down-to-Earth people, and I get along with them about as well as I do with anyone.
Now, am I an emo? I doubt it. Makeup is something I have no plans to ever use, and I like clothing that fits me somewhat loosely, but not to the point that it's falling off. I don't listen to emo music, and I'm usually fairly pleasant, if very awkward with new people; that's something I've been growing out of, though. Not sure if I fit under a stereotype anyway. I'm just this guy, you know.
Hoo boy, long-winded post. Shutting up now. *Thumbs up.*
