also depends on the person being called emo's opinion. some people are like "ooh this top looks emo i have to have it" and some are like "DIE EMOS DIEEEEE"

True. For me, if someone did call me it, I'd be indifferent to be honest :/

Depends on how you says it, obviously.

"Ew, emo" is always gonna sound different to "ooh, emo!"

It's more of a "fact" like "tall" or "asian" in my opinion.

No one would call me that because I don't cut myself, listen to girly faux-punk music, dye my hair black or write crappy poetry on liverjournal.

Well generally a part of being emo, is to deny that you are emo. You dont find people going round saying that they are emo.

isnt emo like poofy rock? as in not quite there? kiddy stuff. you guys catching my drift? So I suppose if you think you are uber cool and a super hard rock (erm person?) emo would be a bit of an insult.

Mmm I'd generally see it as an insult, but then again emo-fashion isn't so bad since everyone goes for the whole preppy-too tight jumper with scarf type look now

hmmm... i have some friends who like to consider themselves as emo. One is a normal person who just likes to wear black and listen to My Chemical Romance,

the other... well fonzievision is pretty much right with his discription
