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.

I deleted one of the duplicates (for some reason you posted twice, which happens to me sometimes. I guess one click too many?)

Yeah, bumping old topics is sort of frowned upon, but I respect that you (more than likely) searched for this topic. Sometimes a catch 22 (search/post in old topic, or create a new one and get slammed for not searching?)

I have no idea what the whole emo and prep/emo thing is all about. I've never really paid much attention to categorizing one's style in one particular genre. Wear what you like, is how I figure. :)
