What does emo stand for? Is it an acronym?

1. EMO-tional

its shorten form or whatever that word is for words like that.

[ZombieNixon]

2. It's an acronym for

Eerritating MOrons. }(

(No, Kleeb's right).

[JohnKleeb]

3. I like that though and will use it

Though not all people are EMO's like you described. I had to deal with an Eerriating MOron on the way to the campus today.

[ZombieNixon]

5. Oh, yeah, I know. I was just being an asshole.

I know a lot of emo kids who aren't depressed and suicidal and are pretty cool to hang out with.

(You have to say "Eerritating MOron" with a mad scientist accent or else it doesn't count) :P

[JohnKleeb]

6. You guys still have cliches?

Sheesh thats one thing that I havent had since starting college then again I dont go to a real college.

[ZombieNixon]

7. Uhh...cliches?

Like "all's fair in love and war?"

(Or do you mean "cliques?" Because we have more like loosely wound barred spiral groups.)

[JohnKleeb]

8. Yeah I meant cliques

We dont have them.

[ZombieNixon]

10. That's good. Cliques suck.

It would be like high school all over again. :puke:

[JohnKleeb]

12. That they do

High school was fine for me though. I miss my government class for too many reasons. Though my speech class that I have right now has taken over. It's really nice except the public speaking part which reminds me that I have to give a speech in support of increasing the minimum wage on Thursday.

the confused, but fanatical devotees of 80's music icon, Brian Emo

[elshiva]

11. Ha! Do you mean Brian Eno?

[leftofthedial]

13. that's where the confused part comes in

[elshiva]

15. Yes, you just confused me! Confuse a Cat! Stun a Stoat!

[leftofthedial]

18. I once did a stint stunning stoats.

14. It's stands, oddly, for 'those who ask what emo stands for despite

it being posted numerous times within emo threads' :P

[elshiva]
