Emo

"Emo" is slang for emotional rocker. Or so it is thought. Emo is the term used to describe a person who is undesirably depressing, causing you not to want them in the nearby vicinity. Emos are the number one cause of suicide in most of the countries of the Earth.



Origins
The modern Emo is the spawn of Kurt Cobain, frontman for the 90s hard rock band Nirvana. Nirvana had many great hits, including weird songs like "Rape Me" and teenage anthems such as "Smells like Teen Spirit". He married Courtney Love (at the time she was herself in a band called "Hole"). He committed suicide. Since then, Emos have tried to follow in his footsteps, wearing black, slitting their wrists, you know the sort. Since 90s, it has been discovered, after little research at all, that everyone knows at least one person who is an emo.

Behaviour
An Emo behaves in a specific way. They listen to a large amount of death metal, from bands such as Slipknot. This being said, not everyone who listens to death metal - or indeed any sort of metal - can be deemed an emo. They must also display signs of intense depression. This is by far the most prominent feeling for any emo. finally, they wear black exclusively. This has made them comparable to goths, who wear black and listen to heavy metal. The difference between goth and emo is that goths can be left alone in a house with sharp objects in it without trying to kill themselves. Also, emos are far more into sitting in a dark room and listening to the music, where a goth will go to an actual gig.

Usage
The use of the word emo is very simple. It is innofensive to call someone an emo, so long as they are not within earshot. As it is unrecognized by most dictionaries, it cannot, however, be used in courts.
