Thread is full of misinformation.
I live in emo faggot paradise, so I will set the record straight.
Emo guys wear: tight pants, small T-shirts.
The vast majority of them have long hair, or long bangs, or some sort of hair. The emos you will find with short hair or shaved heads were little golfing caps or some dumb shit like a hat that would be cool in the 70s.
They are NOT all depressed and wannabe suicidal. In fact, compared to other white subcultures, emo could be considered one of the (gayest / happiest / friendliest / most metrosexual friendly) groups.
They very often cover one eye with their hair. You will see them in either a "Daddy's little princess" type baby T, or a peacoat or blazer or some such 70's outfit with some tight ass jeans on. The only difference between emo pants and bell bottoms is that bell bottoms flare out at the bottom.
While it doesn't happen all day every day, emo guys do make out with each other on occasion - some to "impress the chicks" who think it is "dude omg so hawt", some to prove they aren't "scared by sexual stereotypes", and some because they are gay.
Emo is a way for white boys who before would have just gotten their asses beat to retain some measure of coolness. Many Emus are skinny as fuck - like yak in the toilet skinny. And calling their music "emotional" or whatever does not always fit, as some of it is mindless dribble that has to do with nothing, and some of it is hardcore-type screaming shit. Alot of emo bands mix that in with their little singing.
There are some emo bands that make decent music if you have taste beyond rap/hip-hop- Thursday and Armor for Sleep imo have a few decent songs. That said, I would never buy a CD from either band.
Many emo females are beatable. That's probly the only good thing comin out of this whole tragedy...alot of their little bitches look cute and they will drop when you put actual game on them. (compared with the 15 year olds they kick it with who pull bitches by playing tag and telling them "hey I like you")
Hard as fuck
Lead singer - definitely best example
