What is emo culture?

Emo stands for emotional. They are usually depressed at life, and want to become independent by dressing differently. Many people think every emo cuts themselves, not true. Some do, to relieve there mental pain. To find out more about them, or how they look, search google!

*different answer*

In my personal experience, emo originated from the genre of music, emocore. If you are emo you don't have to cut yourself, be depressed, or be overly emotional. There are many stereotypes for emo people. Just like there are stereotypes for any other clique. For example, that jocks are dumb, or popular girls are mean.
