''FOR THE EMO''

What is emo? It's short for "emotional." Although the term came from various styles of punk rock with highly emotional lyrics, it also refers to a way of dressing. Although emo kids are known for wearing tight black clothing, black eye makeup (in order to enhance their dramatic look) and engaging in self-mutilating behaviors, such as cutting, this is not always the case. For most teens, it's simply a way of creating their own family and belonging to something bigger than themselves
