Urban Word of the Day

Emo
1. Noun: Normally a 15-17 year old teenager. Considers themselves to be much more in touch with their emotions than anyone else; whereas, they really just feel sorry for themselves. Most emo's will claim to be depressed, or simply misunderstood. They think they are unique, and fail to realize that they actually look like half the teenage population of the U.S. - you can recognize an emo by looking for these general characteristics:

SKINNY JEANS (both boys and girls) - The tighter the better. If an emo can hardly walk because of their jeans, then they've reached optimum emo status.
STRIPEY JUMPERS - Normally black and grey. If you're a boy, this should again be worn as tightly as possible. Breathing comfortably is a luxury you may have to sacrifice.
TATTY CLOTHING - Usually drawn on, as most emo's regard themselves as artists.
BLACK LONG HAIR COVERING ONE SIDE OF YOUR FACE - Vision can be compromsised for style as an emo. Try and make it as greasy as possible.

Finally, emo's MUST look down on everyone else, accuse them of being uncreative, judgemental, and the sole cause of their 'depression'. If you're a hardcore emo you'll cut yourself occasionnally. If you're not, then you at least have to pretend you do.

Conversational usage:
Emo: "I wouldn't expect you uncreative facists to understand my art. It's a statement. I'm all alone in this world, all I have is my poetry and my paintings and my music. I am destined to travel through the misty and cold fog of existence alone and cold. My heart has long ago turned to stone, and now your harsh words simply hit the surface. The depths of my soul can no longer be tarnished by your small minded and stereoptyped views..."
Non-Emo: "You are so fucking Emo!"
