Help guys! What is a PREP/EMO?, I really have no idea.... Options

[***Lucy**]

Ok guys. So what’s actually an emo?
As I live in Paris I have no idea about American trends.
Yesterday my brother’s best friend from America arrived in France and he’s staying with us for this week. When he saw us he said that my brother is an emo and that I am prep/emo.
So could u please explain to me what is prep and what is emo?
Our clothes were absolutely ok. And our shoes too.(I mean what’s wrong with Vans and All star anyways?????????)

Thanks in advance.

PS: I read some threads that are relevant but I couldn't find a definition.

Wow. I never knew there was a such thing as a PREMO!

Ooo. In my eyes, I've seen people define prep mainly as a cheerleader. Also, supposedly, they talk non-stop about hot guys, make-up obsessed, cares mainly about how they look, pink is their only world, listening to poppy/mainstream music, "popular" and has many many boyfriends. Yeah. o_o With everyone labeling, that's how many people see "preps" as.

And emo.. I guess is some ghetto version of a goth. God, I hate how I'm labeling haha. They dye their hair black, wears black mainly, a guy who wears make-up, likes skulls, skeletons, etc. Listens to "hardxcore" music. has their hair covering their face.. uhhhhhh. Yeah. I guess. -shrug- those are just what people see emos/preps as in general. You know?

Yeah. And they wear stuff like Abercrombie, Hollister, and AE. They giggle a lot and are really hyper. And they go "OH MY GOSH!!!11!!" and "Like totally!" a lot.

They listen to watered-down emo most of the time. Some listen to Hawthorne Heights and Thursday. They cry a lot to their songs.
They are also known to cut themselves and wear think-rimmed glasses. And tight jeans. And some have lip piercings.
Listen to the song, Emo Kid by Adam and Andrew and you'll know all you need to know about the emo stereotype.


BTW, Vans aren't really considered emo. They're more in the scene stereotype.

Yarly. It's the definition of the label, basically.

ooo. Yeeah. I agree with the vans because everybody wears them, pretty much any stereotype - same with Converse.
