I hate the term too. You're not emo, you have a mental illness. It's hard to say what emo really is though. People will say just about anything is emo, from certain clothing styles, to certain types of music, to the way someone will wear their hair, to the way someone will walk down the street, etc....Emo has come to mean just about anything, as long as its meant in a derogatory way. If you wan't to know what emo REALLY is, check out this site.

yeah I hate it because if someone writes a depressed poem or something, they're classified as emo. thats not what emo is. emo does not equal depressed. emo is supposed to be emotional rock music. and just because your emotional doesnt mean your depressed, just because your emotional doesnt mean you have black spikey hair with side bangs.

yup. i get called emo alot but i dont dress in black or anything quiet weird accually......hm....... but ye i hate it. its so unfair to call peple emo just because of how they may act or dress.

not really a good question. but yes, i hate this term.
try not to worry so much about the label you're given, and focus more on how to handle the symptoms of your mental illness.

YES!! i HATE the term. my friends constantly call me emo cause i suffer from depression and borderline personality disorder...and i was a cutter. im not emo. sometimes people just hurt and dont feel like being uppity and happy. i think the term is highly overused. it's really annoying. ugh idk...i just know that i HATE the term too....idk i hope this helped you in some way.
