Emo on 1990-luvulla syntynyt nuorisokulttuuri joka lyhennetään sanasta emotional.

  • Pukeutuminen: mustat pillifarkut, tummat vaatteet, mustat silmät, emohiukset, bändipaita/raitapaita, Converset jne.
  • Musiikki: emomusiikki on yleensä tunteikasta rockia, emobändejä kuten mm. Bullet for my valentine, My chemical romance, Green day, Good charlotte, Hawthorne Heights ym
  • Emojen yhteydessä puhutaan yleensä masentuneisuudesta, yksinäisyydestä, viiltelystä, itsemurhista, emorunoista, itsetuhoajatuksista...
  • On paljon ihmisiä jotka sanovat "vihaavansa" emoja, itse en tiedä miksi.

"The emo song"

Dear Diary:
Mood: apathetic
My life is a spiraling downward,
I couldnt get enough money to go to the
Blood Red Romance and Suffacate me dry -concert,
It sucks cause they play some of my favorite songs
Like "Stab my heart because I love you" and
"Rip apart my soul" and of course "Stabby, rip, stab, stab"
And it doesnt help that I couldnt get my hair to do that flippy thingy either,
Like that guy from that band can do
Some days you know...

Im an emo kid non-conforming as can be,
Youd be non-conforming too you if you looked just like me,
I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face,
Im almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
Cause I feel real deep when Im dressing in drag,
I call it freedom of expression, most just call me a fag,
Cause our dudes look like chicks,
And our chicks look like dykes
Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat,
I must be emo, I dont jump, around when I go to shows,
I must be emo

Im dark and sensitive with low self-esteem,
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween,
I have no real problems but I like to make believe,
I stole my sisters mascara, now Im grounded for a week,
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies,
I cant get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbing,
Girls keep breaking up with me; its never any fun,
They say they already have a pussy; they dont need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat,
I must be emo, I dont jump, around when I go to shows,
I must be emo,
Dye in my hair, and polish on my toes,
I must be emo, I play guitar and write suicide notes,
I must be emo,

My life is just a black abyss, you know, its so dark,
And its suffocating me,
Grabbing ahold of me and tightening its grip,
Tighter than a pair of my little sisters jeans...
Which look great on me by the way

When I get depressed I cut my wrists in every direction,
Hearing songs about getting dumped give me an erection,
I write in a live journal and wear thick rimmed glasses,
I told my friends I bleed black and cry during classes,
Im just a bad, cheap imitation of goth,
You can read me "Catcher in the rye", and watch me jack off,
I wear skin tight clothes, while hating my life,
If I said I like girls, Id only be half right,

I look like Im dead and dress like a homo,
I must be emo, screw X-box, I play old-school nintendo,
I must be emo, I like to whine and hit my parentals,
I must be emo, me and my friends all look like clones,
I must be eeemo

My parents dont get me, you know.
They think Im gay just because they saw me kiss a guy,
Well, a couple guys, but I mean, its 2000s.
Cant 2... or 4 dudes make-out with each other without being gay?!
I mean, chicks dig that kinda thing anyways
I dont know diary,
Sometimes I think youre the only one that gets me
Youre my best friend..!
I feel like tacos
