Although it is often mistaken as being short for "emotional," emo was originally the abbreviation for a type of music known as "emotive hardcore." Emo music performances were extremely dramatic, typically including lead singers whining sappy lyrics about how their parents never hugged them or how their girlfriend dumped them or blah blah blah. Then falling to their knees and screaming or crying. Because traditional hardcore contained a lot less whining and a lot more beating people up, "emo" soon became a taunting nickname used by punks to insult other, more sensitive members of the hardcore scene. The "emotive" part of emotive hardcore is that it attempts to authentically convey raw human emotion.

Emos claim to be extremely deep. In actuality, they are very shallow people, demonstrated by the fact that they spend the majority of their time whining about their problems; how they are so sad, how they are being persecuted for being whining, bitchy, annoying emofags, and other incomprehensibly stupid shit.

Conclusive scientific evidence suggests that emos are more hated than both blacks, homosexuals, Jews, and Lath combined, and for good reason, too: they produce over 9000 doses of deadly anti-lulz per year. Many have fallen victim to their deadly toxin. NEVAR FORGET.

Death of the original emo

However, this musical movement died at least 100 years ago and actual emotive hardcore music has since taken a backseat to scenester posturing and no-talent losers in eyeliner (anyone too short too be a Goth, basically). Currently, "emo" is code for "goddamn shitty pop punk music played by and for depressed suburban teens". It's all that Dashboard Confessional, Linkin Park Evanescence, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, Staind, Fall Out Boy, and your retarded girlfriend listens to. This "music" is noted for its complete lack of musical merit. It is also rumored that "emo" is the only music solely created by fetuses aborted due to advanced retardation. Many emos claim that their music is "deep" and "unique" when it's really just carbon-copied crap mass-produced by MTV in order to sell clothing. Only angsty retards listen to this shit. That and Batman. But nobody cares about Batman.

It is common knowledge that the emo subculture is only for middle-class white people, who have more problems than everyone else on the earth combined, such as being dumped, having bad hair days, having to wahs the dishes etc. Basically those guys over in Ethiopia could only dream of the pain and torment that these emofags are going through. Emos eat agony for breakfast (that thing about the Lucky Charms was a lie).

Current Situation

The current incarnation of emo has basically replaced all other teenage culture as the dominant one. The slightly faded "vintage" clothing and track suits are available at any mall and often displayed in tandem with the most mainstream wares. Because the accouterments and garb are very easy and cheap to obtain, it makes the style accessible to anyone. In earlier times emo was a generally male-dominated subculture with very few females observed at shows and events (mostly because all present looked like girls anyway). Now, however, due to the ease of obtainment of the requisite style items, many females have become involved in the subculture. Please see the above photo for an illustration of a typical specimen. There may be no easily discernible differences between the standard teenager and someone involved in the emo scene.

Often, participants are referred to as "emo kids," just "kids," "emofags," just "fags," or any combination of these. Rednecks often refer to the participants simply as "wrist-cuttin' hippies". Normal people often say that "Emo" is short for "stupid self-absorbed attention whore who listens to bad music". Everyone else calls them "failures at life". However, some argue that those who constantly complain at emos are a bunch of hypocrites, as they come off being at least twice as angsty and whiny themselves.

Bel-Air Emos

Now this is a story all about how my
Life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I FUCKING CUT MYSELF WITH A RAZOR BLADE

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the internet is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', postin' pictures of myself that I thought were all cool
And all cuttin' my wrist outside of the school
When a couple of guys they were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said, "You're moving to a mental hospital in Bel-Air"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was a bore
But I thought, "Nah, forget it. I'll cut myself more!"

I pulled up to the home about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabby, My life is nothing.
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the first emo of Bel-Air.

"Hardcore"?

Nowadays, emo is commonly referred to by Scenewhores as "Hardcore". It's true that most modern emo kids are fairly hardcore when it comes to writing about life-shattering events such as their girlboyfriends breaking up with them, being denied the use of their sister's stretch pants, or having to wait too long in line at Starbucks. However, "hardcore" is, in reality, an adjective to be placed before a genre, and was done so about 100 years ago to describe hardcore punk. If you disagree with any of this, you may be eligible to win a free molesting at the hands of Henry Rollins.

Typical emo ejaculation(no lulz;tldr?)

To the people who fucking care: Today I got fucking lied to and ditched; not like it really matters because my normal saturday night is basically me watching porn and playing video games. And not guitar hero or anything "respectable" like that. I usually play those shit nerd games most people never hear about. But no, not tonight. Tonight I got to hang out with some really cool people, really, whom I respect. Then I got directly bullshitted out of the group. Well, maybe not directly- but I think he assumes that I don't fucking know whats going on. Or maybe he thinks that I do know whats going on and thinks i'm just a fucking pussy. He's probably right. Lets tally it up. My life totals as a 17 year old junior in highschool. Played football: no, Had sex: no, Got high: once- and I wanted to do It again, hell Id do it every day but I don't have "access" to it. Dipped: once- tonight, from a guy who I respect who probably respects me less along with everyone else there including the people who they were going to meet.//tally ends here bitch. I mean, he(not the guy I dipped with) makes it so fucking obvious- maybe if it wasn't completly fucking obvious I wouldn't be so mad. But it was. I thought we were having a good time. I thought I was going to have some fun tonight but no. Im here at my house like every other fucking weekend. But at this point I don't even know if I want to watch porn- which is shocking for someone like me. Maybe if I had a girlfriend I wouldn't watch it like 4 times a day but I don't and so Viola! Me masturbating at 1 am. Except tonight. I punched my desk tonight, and questioned my idiocity while later noticing my knuckle turning purple. Im going to have to come up with some excuse. Im not looking for pity, though thats what id expect. A warm hug, or something to calm me down. But seeing as I have no decent friends... Actually I thought I did and I thought the night was going great, like I said but no. He HAS to fucking do this to me. After all this buildup. I mean, if he would have just told me to go home earlier I would. But to do this and then just leave me at home, to my regular saturday routine, is worse than if I had just slept the day away. I wish he had some fucking respect for me. I wish I had some fucking respect for me. Fucking fucking fuck. You think thats immature? To fucking bad fuck you fucker. Some people say saying the word fuck makes you sound stupid. I say they're right, usually. But if you're pissed, I think it adds some agression otherwise unnatainable to speech. So fuck you. If you hadn't noticed already theres alot of fucking fucks in this fucking paper. You know why? Its because this JUST happened to me and I still am sorting through it. I get wierd around people some times. Mostly. All the time. I don't know why. I get light headed and stupid when im enjoying myself, and then when I look back on it it really fucks me over how stupid I was. I know what you're saying. "I know exactly how you feel and want to give you a great big hug". Either that or my personal favorite, "Just shut the fuck up there are people dying of starvation be glad you have a fucking house you piece of shit". To that I say I'd rather starve and be happy. If you told me then to starve Id say that wouldn't make me fucking happy that'd make me anorexic. So basically this fucking problem I think stems from me having basically no social life at all my entire life. Thats honest. Im not one of those emo fucks who says life is shit and all that. I really REALLY have NO social life. I have some friends who'll talk to me but I just honestly feel like I should fit in with the jocs, preps or whatever you call the people who have sex and drink every saturday in highschool. Thats where I should be. With a girlfriend. Thats where I want to be. Will I get there? Probably not. So where does that leave me. I honestly wish there was a drug I could take to be someone else. I would take it in a second. With no regrets. But its not like I have this option. Maybe I really do need some kind of drug. Let me explain the situation- I meet up with some friends, we talk, I laugh, I start talking too much, I start laughing at everything people say, then I become depressed when all is said and done and I go home and realize how stupid I made myself look. Or usually I just become tired for no reason after something like a 20 minute social situation. Honestly drained. What the fuck. I NEED SOME FUCKING

MORE TIME I NEED SOME MORE TIME!

Are you emo?

Chances are that if you think you're emo, you're really either gay, a fucktard, Preston, or some combination of the three. Followers of the emo cult are menaces to society, and should be shot on sight (see school shooting). However, shooting emo kids on sight is rarely needed, for a proper verbal rape will lead to them committing suicide (but not before posting about it on the internets). Thus, a conclusion is drawn that IRL trolling of emo kids leads to IRL and OL lulz. Listening to emo music such as Death Cab For Cutie, Hawthorne Heights or Panic! at the Disco means you are emo and gayer than Freddie Mercury .

Emo Timeline

Emo has had a long history in many forms, from the early Beatniks (named after the constant beatings they would receive) to today's contemporary emo kids:

The Serious News about Emo

The emo culture and all its dangers has been featured as the top story on the IRL news, and is therefore serious fucking business. There's bonus points in that a lot of the sites that the broadcasters referenced were made solely for the lulz. This is not surprising, though, since North Dakota just got the internets last Thursday.

There are groups dedicated to destroying emo, like these faggots

There are also whiney emo bitches who cry about how hard the world is towards them. "Is my mascara running?"

Good Bands bands have left the warped tour due to conflicts they had with emo faggots

The Vandals were asked to leave after Joe Escalante called members of Good Charlotte, "faggots", resulting in a fistfight. The Madison brothers, co-creators of the Official Emo Sexual Relations Policy of "above the belt it's all fair game", were too busy reapplying their eyeliner (or riding the baloney pony) to bother fighting back, and thus were summarily shat upon by at least 100 people.

The band Guttermouth was supposedly removed from the 2004 Warped Tour for insulting My Chemical Romance. The band later stated that they left themselves due to "that '10 or so' unnamed bands didn't jive with Guttermouth's way of doing business, and in some cases, threatened them with violence." Basically, Guttermouth was too upbeat and hardcore for the emofags. They ended up curb stomping My Chemical Romance's frontman, Faggy McDickInMeAss.

Last Thursday NOFX frontman Fat Mike was making fun of Underoath and their religious beliefs and criticizing their stance on gay marriage, but emphasized that he befriended Underoath's band members at the start of the tour, had very civilized conversations with various members right up to Underoath's departure. A statement from the band claimed that the members "felt it necessary to take some immediate time to focus on our friendship, as that’s more important than risking it for the sake of touring at this time." - According to Fat Mike, on the 2006 tour, From First to Last was upset about not being able to play before 2:00pm on the main stage, and refused to play if they were not guaranteed that they would all recieve complimentary blowjobs from nuns.

National Emo Kid Beatdown Day

--Regiscyde 18:58, 12 October 2007 (CDT)

Although emo kids have natural predators like pedophiles and Battle cats, their population was growing exponentially. Thankfully after the invention of the internets, there were e-mails sent around declaring that day 'emo hunting day', where 9 year old boys were told to beat up emo kids and possibly even kill them. Usually they would pick dates that have some significance like 6/6/06. Emo kid hunting is the only thing that unites jocks, stoners, metalheads, nerds, geeks and goths. Emo kids try to take the fun out of kicking the crap out of them by repeating some gay song they heard on MTV TRL about buttsecks. Thankfully, this only results in negligible lulz loss. Emo hunting is legal in 48 states (and Puerto Rico as well as American Samoa, but not the U.S. Virgin Islands) and anywhere gay marriage isn't allowed.

Brent Richardson, native of Schnecksville PA, was the leading emo kid hunter in the country and had the largest collection of 'emo neckties' in the world. Sadly, Richardson became too ambitious and attempted to hunt during a Fall Out Boy concert where he was trampled to death. After the emo kids were escorted back home by their parents, the janitors recovered the body to find that his penis had been cut off. It is still missing.

Two Knox County farmers have taken up Richardson's cause and have already herded several emos into a farm. They currently tour the country and display these emos to steer people away from their beliefs. A police force dedicated to hunting emos was also formed in Denver, Colorado.

Myspace Emo kids

MySpace is the primary breeding ground of pure gay emo faggotry. It is not yet known why so many people devote so much time looking at pure shit. Studies have shown that Tom, the founder of MySpace has PEDO POWERS that cause all 16-year-old girls to sign up to his site. (This is not strictly true as he sold it to Rupert Murdoch)

Typical Myspace Faggot, enjoys MMO's, crying, being a self absorbed cunt and spending his parents money on worthless crap

  • Although nothing has yet been proven, preliminary results show that Tom emits a special type of gamma ray that makes gay emo fag girls horny.

Emo propaganda

Iraq has made a "music"-video for the sole purpose of making the whole western civilisations youth go emo. Luckily this was discovered in time by Mr. T, before every 12 year old faggot went out to buy My Chemical Romance albums.

The full video, in reverse. listen carefully to the lyrics "I am emo emo emo emo emo, and i eat shit"

Now That's What I Call Emo Jewtube Edition! Now you can focus on other people's problems instead of your own, faggot!

Social Networking Sites

Emos feel the insistent need to "express" themselves as they get no where IRL. They will go on and start flame wars with people who wish to discriminate against them. They hate people criticizing their uniqueness and will instantly get their friends to spam your page with needles things such as "y r u where that silly hatecoz ur a horriable man and dont want peps to see who u r in real life incase they beat u upif they do ha ha ha ha ha". It is clearly evident that these emos are on some form of mind altering drug. Some great emo infested social networking sites are:

What are the benefits of Emo?

Although seen as a plague by some, emo does have its benefits. For one thing, it sure has given mankind a much needed cleanup that hasn't been seen since the great lulz.Unaborted children who listen to this music have corrected their parent's error through self tking. Thus,through Darwin's Law of Natural Selection, mankind is slowly becoming purified all in part thanks to emo.

Emo Quotes

This is a girl trying to be a guy. The emo is spreading, and they're switching gender roles.
This is a girl trying to be a guy. The emo is spreading, and they're switching gender roles.

"I'm going to slash my wrists with the jagged pieces of my broken heart."
"Why does everyone treat me this way?It's not my fault I'm how I am!"
"I want to kill myself, but I'm afraid that people in hell won't like me."
"I am xSOx sad." (The x's are symbols of how emo you are. The more x's, the more scene/emo)
"I'm not emo, I'm scene."
"My neck hurts sometimes from moving my hair out of my face. Its okay though, I love the constant pain."
"I see things in a polaroid light"
"throught want of each, you gain neither"

Things to say to upset an Emo

  • "Jonathan Davis is dead".
  • "I hate you".
  • "Hahahaha!".
  • "Don't worry, be happy!".
  • Any form of emo bashing joke
  • Just calling them a fag works too

Reasoning behind this cultural choice

To this date, Geraldo, of Fox News, can't even find reasoning behind this "lifestyle". So this must be a serious mystery. It has been said to be the 8th wonder of the world. Some state that emo kids choose to dress and act like this because of a disease called Down Syndrome, but that seems to unlikely. It's almost positive the disease these kids have is much more serious then that. NOTE: Emo kids aren't doing this for the lulz.

Curing the emo plague

Despite expending millions of the tax payers' dollars on researching the topic, scientists have yet to come up with an effective cure to Prozacus shouldatakus (commonly referred to as "emoitis"). The following suggestions have been made by various well-respected individuals (and NOT the bullshit kind of "individuals" that emos claim to be) in the medical field.

  • Prozac
  • Death by blunt trauma, preferably delivered with a product from Hot Topic. For example, a "Hello Kitty" pencil case filled with bricks, rocks, or the world's tears. Don't worry about hurting them, emos aren't people. Besides, they're already feeling too much pain to be able to experience any more!
  • Using razor blades as the vector for a drug-resistant, emo-targeting strain of tetanus. To save money on research and genetic engineering costs, the "emo-targeting" part doesn't really need to be implemented; emos are the only people who cut themselves. Alternatively, razor blades coated with an anticoagulant would work just as well. Remember, the fact that they're all already "bleeding their hearts out" will make them die from blood loss that much quicker!
  • Shutting the fuck up
  • Realizing that you're not the only person in the world with problems, nor the only person in the world that will go through, is currently going through, or already has gone through the horrific stage of their life known as adoloscence. Grow the fuck up, douchebags.
  • Suicide

This is My Suicide by Noodlekneader

I hate this Almost as much as I want to hate you But I can't I can't hate you I don't know why I should I have reason You said it yourself "I sexed up Tal for you Didn't I? And Enta left you for Me!" Yes You did You fucked my mate Even when you knew How much I loved him What's worse It took you days to tell me And even then You were evasive You waited for me to ask If you'd screwed him And you didn't even give me A straight answer

Enta left me for you Why? I don't know I guess he was what I DID But it's sure taking him A long time To see the Real you The one that's Sleeping around Betraying Backstabbing The one that I see

The only way I know of To really hurt you Is to hurt myself I'm the only person I can inflict Pain On and not feel Guilty But this time It won't say I'm sorry Because I'm not This time It will say I'm dead Because by the time Anyone reads it I will be

Emo Poem by Mojon

Don't ask me how I'm feeling Because I'll just say "ok" But really it say nothing On just how I feel today Don't ask me what I'm thinking On what's going through my brain If only you got a taste You'd think I was insane Don't ask me what I'm saying Or why I talk at all I'm just reminding myelf I can speak As I walk through the empy hall Don't ask me what I'm seeing Because you could see it too If you'd only open your eyes But right now you havn't got a clue Don't ask me what I'm doing You wouldn't understand I'm just waiting for 'The End' Seeing all the chaos at hand

A sad song from my heart by Knifeshadow

At times I feel like I’m someone I’m not, At times I feel as if the whole world is watching every breath I take, every movement I make, At times I feel lost…not knowing what to do next in life, At times I feel dead inside, no good feelings, no emotion at all, At times I wish I were someone ells, At times…I really try to see myself through other’s eyes, but all I see is a fake a lie, I’m not as happy and care free as some may think, Behind the smile and happiness is a girl… A girl who has pain and sorrow in my heart, And will never let people truly see…the real girl behind the smile, At times I find myself thinking… “I can only tell people who I really am through my heart’s song,�
