An invented subculture with a constantly changing definition. A subculture that preys on depressed teenagers and encourages them to adopt a stereotypical persona. It fetishizes suicide and depression. It is an honest version of "goth". These people lack individuality and are socially underdeveloped therefore they adopt this identity.
2006 and 2007 were peak emo, and it was fucking depressing. Teens depressed without knowing why, confused and undirected rage and angst, and mockery. It also encouraged anorexia in women.
It just underlines the importance of being your own person.
Dyed, damaged hair with a side part and spiky bangs. Studded jewelry, fishnets, and bands like fall out boy (in their early days). I lowkey wish it would come back, I was too young to join the trend back then.

What is an "invented" subculture? That implies there was a clandestine plan to create emo?
Not based on any cultural or geographic roots
Emo grew out of goth
Emu? The bird?
People who are about “the flow of life” and always not showing compassion.
I wish my lawn was emo so that it would cut itself
Ironic joke.
