Emo think. Before I touch on Emo think, I want to clarify what Emo is exactly. Emo is a style somewhere between punk and scene. It is actually described as punk music on estrogen. It revolves around music and emotion basically. The term “emo” is actually derived from the word “emotional.” It’s not hard to see why.
Most people stereotyped as emo tend to wear their heart on their sleeves. A saying such as “would someone please slit my wrists to end my bleeding life” would be commonplace and, unfortunately, stereotypical of an emo. The worst part of this stereotyping is the constant jibes emos receive. They are made fun of for constantly complaining about life to anyone who would listen.
Therefore, in order to be grouped into “emo think,” one must match all the requirements. The style of emo: that is, in between punk and scene; the music of emo: a style characterized by an emotive style focusing on the hardships and mistakes of life; and the emo personality: the typical wearing the heart on the sleeve, even when it’s annoying.
