I think that my friend's pic here




looks emo , he says he's not >_>
thought I'd ask you ppl , does he look emo or not ?



ps: hope this ain't against the rules

nah just looks gay

hmmm , nice

guess I'll try to add that option too

please vote XD

He doesn't look gay nor emo. Just a spiky haired maniac.

God, not another one. *Edit..

He looks normal. Could use less spiking to look more serious and less of a **** but otherwise, all is fine. The picture's composition, however, is typically emo.

whitewash meh...so option 1+3

Definitely pretty homo. MySpace angle definitely gives off that emo/scene sense.

i agree.


he looks fine tho.

well, he took that picture at the typical 45 degree angle, but his hair doesn't reach his eyes.

he's half-emo, half korean

he's not emo and in fact he looks pretty normal but that camera angel makes him cool gayyyyyyy

HARDOO GAAAY!!!!

Gay.<end>

You need to realize that emo isn't actually a look, but rather a social group based on a form of music way before all of these hair dying, piercing and skinny jeans bullshit came into play. Emo is not defined as a look, rather a liking to a particular genre of music. Usually this is expressed in the look, not the other way around. So get your classifications straight, ok?

Only if he takes his pics like that.
Else I vote no emo.

Emo is short for emotional, and at first the word "emo" didn't have anything to do with music at all..

Doesn't look one bit. But he overdoes his hair, tell him to use a different gel/wax.

well , thanx everyone for voting
and yeah , actually he is the one who took this pic himself
my point here was to prove he was emo , but seems like it proved he was gay

and whatever the definition of emo is , they sure got a specific look >_>

let's see what i get in the end normal , emo or gay XD


ps: i like pie too

He's not emo. Trust me, i'd know. And if he is emo, or trying to be emo, he's a total poser. I agree with dom on this one.

"Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a genre of music that originated from hardcore punk and later adopted pop punk influences when it became mainstream in the United States.
It has since come to describe several variations of music with common roots and associated fashion and stereotypes.
In the mid-1980s, the term emo described a subgenre of hardcore punk which stemmed from the Washington, D.C. hardcore scene. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the emotional performances of bands in the Washington, D.C. "Revolution Summer" movement and some of the offshoot regional scenes such as Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and later, Moss Icon."

Dont even try to lecture me on emo mate. How about you do a bit of research before you make such a bold statement, your highlighting your own ignorance.

what if he meant the word emo as in "emotional" and not
as in social group or look that's usually linked to that
social group? because he does look like he's an emotional
guy.

<.<

zeikerd.

Ay, when did i ever said i was lecturing you? I just said that emo was short form of emotional. If this makes me ignorant, then so be it.
