Emo is a style of rock music influenced by punk rock and featuring introspective and emotionally fraught lyrics.
In addition to music, "emo" is often used more generally to signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behavior.
emo is from origin MUSIC.

""Today emo is commonly tied to both music and fashion as well as the emo subculture. Usually among teens, the term "emo" is stereotyped with wearing slim-fit jeans, sometimes in bright colors, and tight t-shirts (usually short-sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands. Studded belts and black wristbands are common accessories in emo fashion. Some males also wear thick, black horn-rimmed glasses.

The emo fashion is also recognized for its hairstyles. Popular looks include long side-swept bangs, sometimes covering one or both eyes. Also popular is hair that is straightened and dyed black. Bright colors, such as blue, pink, red, or bleached blond, are also typical as highlights in emo hairstyles. Short, choppy layers of hair are also common. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad. In the early 2000s, emo fashion was associated with a clean cut look,but as the style spread to younger teenagers, the style has become darker, with long bangs and emphasis on the color black replacing sweater vests.

Emo has been associated with a stereotype that includes being particularly emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angst-ridden. It has also been associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide. "

mind that I underlined the text about 'stereotyping' and 'associating with'

depression and cutting is/are NOT COOL

depression is a serious illness. using it for attention is wrong. positive attention is always better than negative attention anyway!! :/
and even if emo happens to include 'sensetive behaviour'. this does not mean you should take it to this level.
there's lot's of depressed people that don't even look like emo's. not in the slightest tiniest way. (except for their behaviour. but emo is more like a fashion and music style..
I made this stamp trying to clarify this. because there's way too much stereotyping going on. and this whole 'cutting and depression is/are cool' thing is just wrong. : |
it was mainly to point that out.
Please favourite it if you plan to use it. Thank you in advance!
