Theres a sketch abour emo elmo, I dont know if SNL did or not.

Okay then

So…?

seems you identify your entire existence based on a narrow group belief, with no no one who is even sure exactly what emos are. Sad.

Ooooooooo! good one Ikari!

You mean “who” they are, not “what”

emochick01 wrote:
yeah… umm… im not much of a talker

Yeah I see that so I take it you consider yourself “Emo” right?

emochick01 wrote:
yes im emo

mind telling me what that means?

emochick01 wrote:
yes im emo

Describe what in your view, what an “emo” acts like, believes, and stuff. Then tell how you deviate from that.

emochick01 wrote:
emo means emotinal we wear tight clothes we wear converse shoes umm.. we cut stuff like that ..o and we r depressed all the time …xsighx

So, you don’t deviate at all.. Sad as hell.

Your a carbon copy of a stereotype.

yet you wear your entire personality on your sleeve?

emochick01 wrote:

And why would you want to be that? nobody is depressed all the time im an ptimistic person and I bet im more depressed then you as for cutting yourself, if thats the kind of thing you claim to be I dont think you are that at all just..as comander says a carbon copy…even though I dont know what that means

You really need to stop just blindly embracing an entire group because they share maybe one thing in common with you. Be who you are, don’t try and emulate a group then expect us to clap at your lack of self.

ugh u ppl dont freaking get us :(…xsighx

I note also you don’t actually reply, you just say your misunderstood, and again just count yourself as a small part of a big blob of a group, not as your own self.

r u calling me a …poser…

I am okay thats wrong but I think all people like you are or at least from what you said

emochick01 wrote:

Seem your a bit late to the party. No I am saying your trying to change yourself to fit a narrow subgroup, instead of being your own person.

funny thing about emos is that you all want to be different but you’re all exactly the same

You’re quite entitled to think exactly what you like :):):)

i’m not an emo either, incidently. i was just surprised at the level of abuse for a random member (who hadn’t yet done anything wrong at that point) simply because they admitted they were an emo.

okay, I agree I’m being mean for no apparent reason…I’ll leave

True

check out my post please :(

soo whats so great about hacking your arm or whatever. god do u knw what damage ur doing at all!!

To answer the original question, yes there are a few people who identify themselves as emo on here.

Some posts have relevant “tags”, and the site’s search engine can direct you to posts based on those tags. Like this:

http://help.com/tag/269719-emo

me

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.

emochick01 wrote:

your mistakes
one: tight clothes and converse-belong to the Scene group
two: they are so many people on help.com that cut and are depressed but they do it because they are abused, have had deaths, they don’t have the will to go on in life any longer, but EMOs do it because its their “thing” they think it’s cool. And doing something as serious as depression because it’s cool is not cool!

Another thing, why can’t you talk with other people? why do they have to be EMOs? You refuse to step out of your social circle saying that no one understands you, but you don’t give them the information to let them understand you.

Seriously, try being raped or abused my your own parents like some of the people on here then I’ll give you a Get-out-of jail-free-card and not chew you out like this but what are your reasons? The popular kids at school don’t like you, suck it up! You can make friends who aren’t popular, they are only popular because you make them. Seriously give me your reasons!!

You think emos think what they do is cool!?!

you guys! stop freaking bashing her.
if she wants to be emo it’s her decision.
don’t even comment on this post unless you truly know what emo is.
because apparently none of you do.
so get off her case unless you’re educated about it
and are gonna be nice!

emochick01, don’t listen to all of these clueless losers.
hollicrombie is the only kind person in this conversation.

:] 33!

i understand her……im emo i was talking to neon

im not emo anymore.
i was about seven months ago though.
i wasn’t exactally directing that to you,
it’s just that people keep
running their mouths about it,
and they really have no clue
what it’s like.

What a depressing post!

…this is very entertaining…>_>

Urban Dictionary wrote:
“Emo” is not short for “Emotional.” “Emo” does not mean Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, despite what MTV has lead you to believe in the last few years. “Emo” is not sidebangs, tight pants, and male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. “Emo” is not the use of diluted, meaningless metaphors and similes such as “My arms are like pinecones,” and most definitely is not the rampant use of words such as “autumn,” “heart,” “knife,” “bleeding,” “leaves,” and “razorblade.”

I just thought I’d clear that up after all of these “definitions” in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was “emo bands.”

Now, onto the real definition.

In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as “Emotive Hardcore,” spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term “Emo” as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of “Emotive” Hardcore bands. That’s right, “Emo” was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there’s still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records’ roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don’t quite follow that philosophy.

Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that’s nothing to make an issue of, since well ****, at least it’s close.

Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided “Well, ****, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I’ll call these bands “emo” - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock…” and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is “emo.”

Somehow, people decided that “emo” meant “emotional,” which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make “emotional” a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap.

Hope that helps.
Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, and My Chemical Romance falls under the “horrible pop rock” genre, not the emo genre.

Rites of Spring is emo.

seems like none of you do either!

it may not be great but its a way to coping with pain that is hard to explain.

Anyways, why do you have to be labled? Why can’t you say you are depressed? Becuase that is what you mean by saying you cut, unless you do it for fun

cutting is release…..

to bad i dont label myself. im me and thats my label

||||||||, I wasn’t saying you, I was more directing it to the poster.

ok i was just saying

no im 16 sorry not that old lol

I have heard someone else say this on here and I agree:

Too many things happen to a person for them to just sum it up in one word.

And, from what I understood, emo is a type of music not a type of person.
Care to explain? I don’t understand it and I am 13. Nowhere near my 20s. lol

Hollicrombie! how old r u what let me guess your a teen too

Yeah, might have been a bit harsh with her…

haha. a little bit. but was still very amusing. :)

emo may mean all those things that people have said. but to me it means being depressed, hating life, cutting oneself. it seems to be the normal routine for ANY teenager. I dont understand why such a stupid tag such as EMO should be placed onto normal teenage hormones. :S

actually sorry, not all teenagers self-harm, but im sure that 99% have felt alone, desperate, depressed and misunderstood.they also have mood swings. NORMAL!

emo is jsut a stupid lable for posers.
if you’re depressed, just say “I’m depressed”.
don’t jump on the bandwagon and be “emo” because you think that everyone who’s depressed is emo. if everyone who ever got depressed was emo, we all would be.
we all have our own challenges and even if our challenges don’t seem hard to someone else, they are OUR challenges which means they’re exactly hard enough to push us to the limit without quite pushing us off the edge. seriously, stop hiding behind stupid lables that you don’t even know the meaning of.
that is what bothers me about emos. they pretend like they’re the only ones in this worl that ever suffer. I have new for you all; WE ALL SUFFER

That isn’t what EMO means. I have tried to tell you all but it’s the type of music! it really doesn’t have anything to do with being depressed, but word has been misused for years upon years.
