ok so...
Emo. Short for emotional. Emo. A genre of punk rock. Emo. A dress code of tiny t-shirts and horn-rimmed glasses. Type the word "emo" into your average search engine and you'll get over three million results that will encompass nearly that many different opinions of what emo actually is. The general approach to the term is a lot like the approach to pornography, "I can't tell you exactly what it is, but I'll know it when I see (or hear) it."

The history of emo is somewhat less ambiguous than its current meaning. "Emo" music developed out of the D.C. punk scene in the '80s. In its autentic incarnation, emo was short for emocore, or emotional-hardcore. The name was applied to hardcore punk rock bands who distinguished themselves from their peers by adding an emotional component to their music, dealing with sadness and love and angst in their lyrics. The music was also characterized by particularly dramatic vocals which, at best, left the audience in an emotionally charged state, crying or screaming. These days, emo has been popularized and sent into the mainstream through bands like Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday and Saves the Day.

Emo music has even inspired its own subcultural style. Take your average Rites of Spring fan and you get someone who looks a lot like Weezer's Rivers Cuomo--nerdy glasses, vintage tees, cuffed jeans, Converse sneakers and slightly shrunken tops. Negru hair and straight bangs, tight hoodies and thrift shop attire are also associated with emo. And while emo devotees are notoriously upfront about their feelings, instead of wearing their hearts on their sleeves, they tend to favor ironic slogans and band logos.

Lately, labeling someone as "emo" is something of a put-down, a stand-in for "overly emotional" or "melodramatic." The implication is that they are excessively moody and angsty, prone to crying jags and plagued by a love of bad poetry. Hot Topic even issued a patch that read, "cheer up, emo kid!" But for those who call themselves emo, the term means something more pure. At its core, emo is all about being upfront with your emotions. Or, as one "expert" defined it, "emo is like being Goth, but much less dark, much more Harry Potter."

Emo este din ce in ce mai raspandit in Romania...
Emo in afara de a fi un stil de muzica (emocore) este si un stil de viata si o caracterizare a sufletului.Provenind de la "emotional" caracterizeaza ființele extrem de emotive, care se urasc pe sine, se cred mai prejos decat oricare alt om si care isi gasesc refugiul singur sau cu prietenul cel mai bun, de cele mai multe ori.
S-a constatat ca numeroase dintre persoanele Emo sunt bisexuale, asta din cauza anturajului, iar in general prietenii cei mai buni al unui emo este o persoana de sex opus.
Cei mai multi Emo People se rezuma in a asculta EmoCore sau Screamo ca: Fall out Boy, Emo novel, My chemical romance. Three days Grace etc
Anyway Emo nu este doar o persoana "emotionala" ci este si o persoana aproape nesociabila, care se fereste de oameni de frica respingerii lor.Insa sunt persoane care admira acesti emo people dar totusi ei se feresc de lume din cauza comentariilor rautacioase din porțiunea unor care sunt mai diferiti.
Cu toate ca "emo people" par mai prostuti sau dau impresia ca nu sunt isteti de multe ori dovedesc ca pot fi mult mai educati si mai destepti decat multi oameni.Joaca Sah, jocuri de logica si isi dezvolta memoria chiar daca ei nu isi dau seama de acest lucru si se cred in continuare inferiori altor oameni.Au impresia ca nu sunt deloc intelesi de oameni si ca de aceea mai bine nu deranjeaza si se retrag in omenirea lor, printre "ciudati".

P.S.Emo people au de cele mai multe ori sa se taie, chiar tentative de sinucidere din cauza depresiei.Insa de cele mai multe simt nevoia de durere si se taie cu lama in zona venelor sau pe picioare.

Emo Music
Emo music sau mai bine zis EmoCore sau Screamo, este genul de muzica care isi are originea in rock si in care se refugiaza de obicei Emo people.Cu o tonalitate mai vesela dar versuri triste toate persoanele "Emo" se regasesc in acest gen de muzica.Ex. de trupe de emocore/screamo sunt: My chemical romance, Three Days Grace, Emo Novel(cea mai originala trupa screamo) sau Fall Out Boy.

Emo Style
Persoanele Emo au lansat un nou trend printre adolescenti, multi adoptand acest stil. Negrul sta la baza, apoi rozul care a fost lansat cu usurinta in mulțimea rockerilor cu toate ca nu a prea fost acceptata, Rock Boots pentru fete doar, Conversi pentru baieti, Pierce`uri cat incape (in general majoritatea celor Emo au lip piercings adica in buza, cate trei chiar sau in limba), Colorații vii ale parului (in special roz sau verde in combinatii cu blond). Cat despre forma parului acesta trebuie sa cada peste ochi sau chiar si rasta este binecunoscut.Multe Emo Girls se rad intr`o parte a capului insa aprozimativ toti emo boys au parul lungut (nu prea lung) si peste ochi sau mai ciufulit (ceea ce dupa parerea mea este very cute ).
Emo au vrut chiar sa fie diferiti de restul lumii cu stilul acesta de imbracaminte insa si altii au preluat acest stil.

Concluzia?
Persoanele Emo sunt des discriminate si sunt sau cel putin se cred diferite de restul lumii si ca nu se pot aseza la locul lor,insa la urma urmei sunt si persoane care le admira stilul si ii admira si pe ei si nu puteti sa spuneti ca unii Emo Guys sunt pur si rudimentar superbi =] .....Am uitat sa mentionez niste chestii ...tare cool pt ei:
1. Sa ai ochelari cu rama groasa si neagra
2. Pantaloni cu 8-10 numere mai mari, sa fie lalai , cat mai lalai
3. Bascheti de cauciuc
4. par marisor in fata sa iti acopere un ochi
5. sa stai cu picioarele incrucisate, cum multi au preluat dupa ce l-au vazut la mTV pe basistu de la Linkin Park(limp Bizkit)..tot una
6. sa se adune intr-un loc vreo 5 si sa nu zica nimic vreo 15minute, decat sa contempleze, cu fata in jos la suckness of life.
7. nu prea beau bere, suc ci numai stuff cosmopolit...cocktailuri cat mai fancynames
8. 100 de mii de bartari pe mana

58 feeling

And to be honest, I know what it means but I cant explain it. Put it into words.

I dont know. Lots of people say it means we make decisions based on feelings rather than logic.

I believe that simply mean that you can host there as many domain names as you need to. But in any case you will be limited by space and bandwidth
