I guess I'm not getting what "emo" means.
If it's simply a kid expressing their personality through the way they dress, wear their hair and some makeup - so what. I think it's great that kids can learn about themselves this way.
But when it goes further into depravity, like cutting etc. Then that's when it's time to seek professional help and realize that in their search to find themselves, they are totally lost and without hope. There is something deeper going on inside that needs help.
I can't say I'm without a snicker here and there - but the only type of kid I laugh at in the way they dress, is the guys who wear their pants at their knees - looks like they dropped a load and need their diapers changed. Now THAT is ridiculous!
I guess there isn't a real answer to what emo is, just like rockers and punks and new age etc, each had their cultish followers, and the wannabe's - no real answer into who is the epitome of that group.
