usually means dyed black hair with fringe in eyes, miserable … almost goth like. lots of eyeliner, maybe some bright eyeshadow. skinny jeans/ dark clothes? tends to listen to my chemical romance etc (this is a stereotype and ovbs people differ)

Well googling emo and looking at the pictures and reading the wiki will give you some insight.

Emotional…
well that is what my 12 y.o. claims, however, I tend to disagree. She is not allowed to wear makeup. She does sport a lot of black clothing, and yet she is NEVER sad or serious. She says she is emo and likes emo music, which I do hear occasionally when the ipod earplugs drop, but yet she listens to Never Shout Never also, so I guess I can’t help.
Apparently, it is supposed to be an individual with lots of down emotions and wears clothes accordingly…

I just asked my room mate what exactly “emo” means…she said that it basically means “filled with angst”…”emotional”..
Then she just pointed to my avatar…LOL…:)
Too true….

some guys maybe like girls more subdued and vulnerable? maybe he has control issues? i’d guess that could be two things: really hot, or really bad.
