  1. The emo stereotype are those people with there sore wrists, skinny leg jeans, skater shoes and a band shirt, straitened hair, with there ipods blazing in there ears listening to their emo/screamo music, on weekends you may find them at a local gig listening to some more of their screamo music. This is a general stereotype of emos. Emos :'(

  2. The Media and Emos. Contrary to popular belief, emo is not a modern suicide/self harm cult; rather, it comes from the music. Emo music is a subgerne of rock, known as ‘emotional hardcore’ or ‘emocore’ and has pioneered many bands in the 21st century. “The trend is characterized by wearing skinny black jeans, tennis shoes, colorful T-shirts bearing the names of emo bands, heavy make up and sharply chopped and sometimes radically colored hairdos” Emos in the media are the people of a suicide cult, with Jodie Gater and Stephanie Gestier’s double suicide in 2007, most of the media have assumed that this is the general characteristics of emos, along with the cloths/hairdos that they sport. A lot of the media assume that emo’s self harm themselves due to the depression/anxiety that they may have, this is due to the many suicides that have happened over the years while under the emo subculture. “My Chemical Romance's music has been described by the media as "pop punk" and "emo", however the band themselves simply describe their music as "rock" or "violent, dangerous pop".

  3. In my opinion, emos are not all the same, some are never emotional, they do not self harm, and they do not write poems/songs. Of course some of you may see my opinion as bias, with my closest friends being under the spotlight of ‘emo’, they are almost never sad, never emotional, and they writes songs, but they usually have to do with them bashing/fornicating someone. they always wears his skinny black jeans, skate shoes, and usually his favorite emo/screamo band shirt, they would rather tell you ‘your gay’ then read you a poem or a song, this is an example that ‘emo’ has turned into more a fashion sense then a stereotype. With the growing culture of emos in Australia, many emo’s feel somewhat tormented because they may straiten their hair, or listen to their screamo music, with their peers at school picking on them quite constantly.
