What is it to be an emo?

Emos are, as a general rule, young people known for their always dark clothing, dark makeup, slim appearance and slightly effeminate. In addition, they have their own fashions, although among them they have their style and their very marked rules.

The word comes from the abbreviation of the English word emotional. Emos are sensitive people who tend to become victims because they claim that the world around them doesn't understand them. Many of them claim to have family problems and not get along with their parents and can also be quite asocial.

These youngsters are often branded as fake and always posturing, to suffer the unreal pain and try to be the center of attention. The misunderstood world of emos becomes real in the millions of anti-emo forums that we can find on the internet. In them, they make fun of their lifestyle and philosophy, and can become a danger factor for the adolescents who are part of this community, making enemies in different parts of the world.

This youth current that has sadness as its flag, brings together young people who understand each other and in some countries have suffered great rejection for the philosophy they profess. Therefore, they are usually people who isolate themselves and only relate to each other.
