Rofl! I remember that vid, made me laugh for ages the last time I saw it

I think Dog's up to date on emos now, sent him some info on zee old m, s of n!

Similar kinda concept, in that their social and dress characteristics are largely influenced by music.

For an oldie... look for somewhere between mod and goth.

Music tends to be dark, about sad topics/love/hatred.

yeah it kinda is like mods and rockers of modern day. emo as you mightve guessed stands for emotional something, most probably emotionally depressed! basically a stereotypical emo is one who wears alot of black and a lot of black eye make up, even if its a bloke. theyll have quite long straight black hair as well that will sweep down covering half their face . they listen to emo bands too such as my chemical romance, and get cape wear cape die, and other whiney light indie/rocky type things. i suppose you could say they are a bit like your stereotypical goth but soppy and depressed and without the attitude, and with different tastes. also kinda a goth cross indie whos become depressed.
like this chap here

or if you watch hollyoaks, newt and his annoying accomplace are stereotypical emos

hope this helps dog

Dont forget, stereotype also is for tight jeans and a liking for self harm due to depression/needing love

the jumping at gigs thing is true, really ruins gigs, as i dont feel i can without looking a fool,

although i do like hawthorne heights, but i dont cry while listening to them.

hah and my butters video wasnt allowed, but this is a well more offensive video.

screw it

Ahh I see now, thats what I kinda thought, a goth that went wrong...
Does it make me an emo if I do listen to some music such as Eliot Minor?

I am mainly a dance music fanatic, but I do stray to the more "rocky" side sometimes. I just like uplifitng, fast-ish, real get you going type tunes... but then, I do have a soppy side, and like the classicy lovey type tunes too

Thankfully, I don't dress like that - although think my hair needs cutting before I get classed as "emo" its getting a bit long lol.

So if theres emo, whats the opposite?

[oli8925]

errr dont know really. hippies for being all free love and happy, but those dont really exist anymore. the emo's arch nemesis is the chav. but then arent they everyones?

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

im going to see eliot minor live soon

[cap'n crunch]

proper emo is mineral, sunny day real estate, texas is the reason etc and is good

all the emo kids however as oli sais listen to my chemical romance or panic at the disco, bullet for my valentine, hawthorne heights and look

kinda a goth cross indie whos become depressed
