I was wondering...

You know how some people steriotypes everything now a days...

well i was wondering about EMO
i met this girl who is EMO, and well i didnt know how to ask her some questions..

but i would like to ask and know before i ask the girl the wrong questions:

Some of my friends has been telling me

that all emo cuts... is this true?
that emo means (bisexual girl/boy)... is this true?

well i wasnt sure if all this is true... but i would like to know your opinions as well... concerning the question above...

Well i am considered emo among my friends and at school. Emo to me is a life style. I freely express myself w/o worry of wat others think of me. I used to cut but that was b4 I even started dressing in drag. I am infact bizexual, but I know a lot of ther girls who are Emo as well and they are pin straight. My best friend is Emo and he is also straight. His hair is jet black and it is cut os that one side is always covering his face. He has never cut in his 17 years of life and he is straight as well. The only reason I think people make these assumptions is because people who are considered Emo are comfortable enough with themselves to express their sexuality and might also suffer from depression which can lead to cutting. If u have any questions feel free to ask me. =] Hope this helped

Thanks for the information, it really helped alot.... ya i know some people can steriotype others... i just dont understand why they do that, but im glad you explained it really well to me... because i was wondering, because my friend is emo, and then someone told me that emo are bisexual, i mean im not against anything... or anyones life, but i didnt know how to ask if she was :) but i asked her today, and she told me she was straight, so its cool... sure if i have any more questions i know where to find you, again thanks for the help, it means alot to me...

I'm Emo, I do not cut and I am straight, but I am highly emotional.

Thanks you all!
its because i never had a friend that was emo, and i didnt know what to say or what to do... i mean i dont want to hurt her in anyway!
and yeah i would treat her like all my other friends :) thanks so much you guys!

if anyone has anymore they would like to tell me, please do :)

Some emo girls are bisexual and some emo girls cut themselves. It depends on the person. But then again it depends on the stereotyping dick heads who ruin it all for some ppl.

Wots an emo?

An updated version of a goth? lol

People at my school call me emo. I am straight, I do cut occasionally.
I don't understand why people label each other, then treat people with certain labels differently. I get labeled as emo ALOT, and I go to a school full of emo-hating people. So its not good =\
but I don't c y people would care. So what if someones emo, or goth, or a jock, or a prep? Can't we all just be treated like people??
Idk... Sorry, I'm ranting now =/

-sighs- 'Emo' did used to refer to 'emotional punk' or 'emotional rock' music. To call someone 'emo' or 'a emo' was to call them a genre of music really. Words and meanings, culture and sub cultures etc change though and now emo largely refers to the 'new goth' era, as the late 90a and early 00s are over.

The stereotype is that 'emos' or people who are 'emo' cut themsleves, are whiny, ungrateful, children who have lip rings, side partings and tight trousers...oh and they listen to bands such as 'my chemical romance' and 'bullet for my valentine'. Dont take offence...I'm pointing out a stereotype, not giving an opinion.

People call me "emo" and i have no idea why. only my friends know that i write and not EVERYTHING that i write is depressing. i generally listen to any music even the "emo" stuff. i don't even look "emo".
i don't see how being "emo" or being friends with "emo's" is anything to complain about. i'm friends with a few and they are normal people with black hair and piercings. to all stereotypes out there, not everyone has to be like you so GET THE F*** OVER IT
