Emo can be defined as rebellious, anti-social, cult-like or self-absorbed. There are many stereotypes associated with the culture, but not every emo is depressed and wishes to die; they don’t all self-mutilate for the express purpose of releasing their pain. Emo kids don’t all have tattoos and piercings, and they don’t all wear black. While there are many similarities all across the board for what makes someone look emo, emo is more than fashion - it’s also a lifestyle and primarily a music choice.
