Dedicated to the alternative generation; emo boys and girls; the My Little Emo website has just been launched!
What is this ‘emo’ I speak of?
Well – if you found this website by searching for the word emo via Google or another search engine, my money is on that you already know what emo is.
For those who have stumbled upon My Little Emo by chance, below is a brief run-down on what it’s all about!
  • Emo is short for ‘emotional’.
  • Emo is tied to both music and fashion and represented through an individuals style.
  • Emo boys and emo girls tend to wear tight jeans, short sleeved band tee’s and have long fringes (bangs) that are swept to one side, usually covering one eye and more often than not, black – with sections of color.
  • Emo music is emotionally charged, angry and melodic, confronting listeners with confession-like lyrics that can be related to on a personal level.
  • Stereotypically, and usually stated by people who don’t understand the term ‘emo’, emo boys and girls cut themselves, are depressed and spend most of their time alone in the dark crying. Whilst this might be true in some cases, being emo is primarily about expressing yourself.
  • Emo style is very androgenous and it is rather common to find pictures online of emo boys kissing (so HOT!) and emo girls kissing. You’ll also find pictures of both emo boys and emo girls kissing. There really aren’t many limitations. To be emo is to embrace emotion.
I could go on, but that’s the general gist of it.
Emo is music, it is style, it is expression.
Emo is beautiful.
