What the hell are EMO's?
 
What the hell is an EMO (could possibly have spelt it wrong)! I'm thinking it's on similar lines to the 'Hoodie' culture? I thought at first, when I saw it being used on one of the threads it was something to do with Emu's :confused_smile: Now, how stupid do you think I feel and why the heck did I even admit that....must be the wine:D

No, it's not on a similar line to hoodies at all :ohmy: it's to do with the type of music they listen to.

It's a teenage trend.
Long fringe over one eye
lots of black
'emotional'
sometime self harm

No, emos (yoof culture) are almost opposite to hoodies/chavs....

think of shoegazers combined with goths with a smidgen of punk and a whole boatload of self-pity.

i had the strangest experience of having the ' emo' culture explained to me by a seventy yr old lady who runs a punk shop. turns out her daughter in law moved from melbourne to yeovil, and we're going the opposite way.
cool.

My step daughter and nephew both have the look and listen to the music
but no self harm thankfully :blink:
It reminds me of me and my goth / rock leanings as a teen.

Yes I think they look good :) I was a new romantic/ punk, it's good to be a bit different :thumbup:

My lad reckons it's all a load of rubbish about them self harming
