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.

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.
