    emo is when you are into punk and goth things, especially things that are black. emos are usually depressed and cut themselves.

    emo is an abreviation for "emotional"

    so emo makeup, hairstyles ect. would be mostly black.

    this is what alot of emos look like :

    emo stands for emotional.

    emo is a type of clique. (jocks;preps.)

    the ones that are emotionally distressed && are

    fond of the down side of things or may be suicidal.

    && every clique has their accessories.

    like their clothes makeup && etc.

    which usually contain colors like

    black && gray or really bright colors.

    depends. <3
