[edit] Keith Emerson

Is it really possible that a reader seeking Keith Emerson might land on this page seeking disambiguation?? I guess it's unlikely. Any objection to removing him? Hult041956 01:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't see how he or Eric Moulds wound up on this page. If their articles don't see it important enough to mention that they are, in any way, referred to as "emo" then I don't think it's entirely appropriate to have them here. I don't know that people are going to come here looking for such people. Then again, I don't know for sure. --Cheeser1 04:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Right, Cheeser. This isn't the emo artist catagory page. (Not that Keith Emerson would belong there either.) It's a disambiguation page. Disamb pages are for naming ambiguities, not for sorting out what genre we think artists belong in. I'll give it a bit more wait to see if someone else comes to the rescue.

I did some googling. It turns out both of these gentlemen do have the nickname "EMO". I guess it's you and I who are in the dark, huh? It's odd that neither WP article mentions this (nor even contains these three letters in that sequence -- I checked). I suppose at this point I would vote to let these references stand as they are. Hult041956 17:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
(Vote?) If they are commonly referred to as "Emo", then their articles should note that if it's noteworthy. If the articles make note of it, then (after that) they should be included here. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:02, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Medda

"emo" is an abbreviation for emotional... But some teens have made it into a style and a way of life. Some "Emos" imitate depression in an attempt for attention. Some just like dark stuff. But sometimes, teens who really have serious problem with depression can be labeled "emo" and made fun of for it since "emos" are supposed to be known for exaggerating life problems and taking things too seriously as well as being very sensitive. Emos can turn out suicidal, cut themselves or use other ways of self injury. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.230.118.240 (talk) 17:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

So why is that not on the list, afterall, this has got to be the most common use for the word these day's!--124.176.26.182 (talk) 10:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Is there an article for that? If so, it could be disambiguated. If not, then there's nothing to put on the list. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Of course there isn't. What the IP is describing is an ambiguous neologism/stereotype. --Cheeser1 (talk) 18:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Return of Emo (slang)

Lilmisscleverclogs' recent edit seems to be a slang usage. You think it's close to the right one? If so, perhaps we move it up from the footer and into the list. Hult041956 21:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emo is a sub-culture

As you all have heard, emos is actually a type of sub-culture, they dress in all black, and normally are hard on themselves/self. If someone could please make a article about our dear emo (kids/teens) then i would thank them very much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Werthq (talk • contribs) 20:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
