I believe emo originated from over emotionally exaggerated music. Music with narrative lyrics about unrequited love, depression, declaring hate and no-care to the world, and, of course, involves cutting your wrists all in a sick wavy tune. Now it went beyond music and started to be a little subculture complete with ethics, appearance and the groups of people in different parts of this breathable ground that makes it possible. Usual emo style would be long hair with bangs for guys, wearing make-up, black & white stuffs and even holding a guitar in a manner as if it is going to be destroyed (since they might find reverence to the beginning of the word they now call themselves). They are the drama kings/queens, the best at this category. Drama that involved morbidity isn't cool though. It is not a way of detachment and simplicity. It is a failure to value and refusal to comprehend.
What is improper is lack of respect. Common people hate emos, emos hate the world. If emos are viewed as wrong, then common people are also wrong. Considerations are lost and replaced with strong-willed insensitive principle until it gets constant and unchangeable. If we really want to create change, we must create the change for each other, not only for ourselves. Changing for ourselves doesn't even involve the better lands we really desire and it shields ourselves to growing. It is good to create subcultures that other people can relate to, just make sure that we have a knack aboout the world's permanent limitations and acceptance in a way you can also trully tolarate yourself in action. Now that it has been created and now in practice, the only solution is understanding. Know about it and you'll know what to do.
A friend told me he once had an emo classmate that plays tic-tac-toe using blade. Instead of using pen and paper, use blade and bare skin of your wrist. Create a little chart and start putting Xs and Os. In an instant, the emo boy created tic-tac-toe: emo style. ROFLMAOZOMGWTFBBQ! When I heard it I want to cry, run to a dark room with pills on my hands and cut myself using a pencil - I kid.
