Oh man, that's a surprisingly complex question. First, you have to figure out what an 'emo' is. Most people will tell you that emo is short for emotional, and that they're simply more in touch with their feelings than the average person. Which is sort of what it meant, back in the '90s. There were people who felt a certain way, and were more or less determined to exist outside of the normal social system, and therefore formed their own sort of social patterns and style. About the time that style started becoming popular, the "real" emos realized they were being imitated and picked less ostentatious styles. You could argue that every emo since then is a poser, as the traditional emo would prefer to avoid the attention.
So aside from that, you have to consider the way it looks. A nice friendly person walks up to an emo says hello, and the emo shrugs uncomfortably an walks away. That doesn't earn them a lot of respect. Plus their always playing the victim, which makes them targets.
They've somewhat gone from wearing tight pants to wearing black and eyeliner, so they get confused with other styles, such as goth, who like to consider themselves hardcore. Being compared to a definitively meek and submissive group makes goths mad. Mostly though, people just get mad at emos for drawing attention to themselves, making everyone feel sorry for them, when everyone has to put up with life, and most people do it without complaining constantly or showcasing their problems in a way that brings everyone down.
simple: anything different in this society is always attacked. Why do you think mostly every single movie involving aliens is about man versus those aliens? Take a look at how various religions group together to obliterate the other religions despite each religion claiming how killing is "evil," and how everyone should love their neighbors. Emos are basically up against the entire world. They're an extremely rare group, and mostly everyone hates them because mostly everyone isn't emo.
i could say so......i'm no longer too specific as a results of fact at my college the scene's think of they're emo and mock everybody else who lots as wears a back t shirt. the actual emo's save to themselves and carry close approximately with everybody no rely what clique and don't probable hate each and every physique. The scenes additionally think of they're the skaters and punks besides so in a manner they're the only posers and everybody hates them........my faculties a splash extraordinary and on your question, definite =]
Well idk, to be honest most people if they see someone walking around in eyeliner and black clothes n sh*t like that they automatically assume that that person is emo and they cut themselves, when honestly most people just dress that way and don't cut themselves these days.
