Emo is a style of hardcore punk which describes several variations of music with common roots. In the mid-1980s, the term emo described a subgenre of hardcore punk which originated in the Washington, D.C. music scene. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the emotional performances of bands in the Washington, D.C. scene and some of the offshoot regional scenes such as Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and later, Moss Icon. (In more recent years, the term "emotive hardcore" entered the lexicon to describe the period.)

No you can not be emo unless you are a genre of music. [=

Well Samee, emo has made a new definition now, as this happens.

Emo now has two definitions, a personal characteristic.

Over the years I expect this new "definition" to make dictionaries.

Although, I find this post very offensive.

As my friend Chip's typist is "emo"

( i know her in rl)

Emo is an adjective not a noun whether it be describing a musical genre or a person.  People are things and therefore nouns, ergo emo is not a person but describes a person.

However, in the manner the question was phrased, "Are emo's people too?"  Emo is someone's name and given the 's, Caddilac wants to know if his/her people are too something but was interrupted mid-thought.

P.S. It's a silly forum.

Haha, too funny.  I vented about that earlier.  How many of us actually learn at school?

I have no idea what an emo person is

some people say you have to cut yourself to be emo

and some people say you just have to be emotional.

IDK

IDC
LMAO

but yes EMOS ARE people too.

Well, I think it is emotional.

It's what it stands for EMOtional XD

But...I like pepperoni

Why wouldn't they be? They are human beings! Emo is used in a new way rather than a genre of music, for those who like to argue that. I understand that is the original meaning but now kids use it as people who cut themselves or who are always depressed.  Honestly, "emo" people are really cool people and they aren't as 'depressed' as they look - they really do have personalitys.

Next time instead of bringing this up on a pet site, yahoo answers might be the way to go.

Anyone who thinks they aren't people need to go OD.

Looks like a person to me.

Uhh, yeah. We kinda are...:/

More people than others, I must say.

Emo stands for emotional. So, we feel more than other people.

And we need more people to feel in this world...everyone's so cruel and hard...

BOT, yes. Emos ARE people.

I should know.

I am one.

I'm sick, and tired of threads like this. :/

Firstly, Wrong forum, this shouldn't even be posted  AT ALL, and if it should have been, you should have posted this in the Off Topic forum..

Now,

Emo means "Emotional". Duh.. XP Anyways, I'm emo, and depressed sometimes, should you judge me for that? No.. I hate when people crack stupid "emo jokes" going all, "*goes to emo place* ;_;" because, guess what, it's not funny to emos. :/

So, yeah, I'm a person, by the way. XP

Hey, look at one of my updates.

That will answer your question. :]

We are as much of a person as you are.

And please. No one reply to this saying-

"Of course they're not a person. They're a pet!"

Just cause they're different from you, doesn't mean that they're not human. D8
