What exactly is emo?
I this girl told me its like goth, but on a lesser scale?
Theres this fake emo girl in my class and shes all like poser emo and she isn't emo at all, and we allways make fun of her because she wears fake lip rings and says there real, and puts nude pics of herself on the internet and first says its not her then she says HER SISTER TOOK THEM, EWWW! and she asked this other girl what her favorite band was and she said, My Chemical Romance and she said My Chemical Romance, ITS NOT YOURS! God I cant stand her shes so dumb.
Please explain this emo thing to me?

Emo music = emotionally charged punk.

My definition of real emos = posers who take black and white pictures of themselves with a tear on one cheek.
