The general definition of \

The general definition of \\\"Emo\\\" found both here and on the \\\"Emo Teen\\\" page is based heavily in \\\"Cowboy Bebop At His Computer\\\". In other words, the mass misappropriation of the term \\\"emo\\\" in an uninformed media (and by extension, public). As a Trope I can accept that the term \\\"emo\\\" could be useful in defining certain traits found in fictional characters. The irritation I feel at the current page is, however, the same I have with the throw-away, dismissive manner in which \\\"emo\\\" is misused these days.
\\\"Emo\\\" is only seen as affected behaviour by today\\\'s shallow and uninformed standards. When the term began to be applied to young people of a certain subcultural persuasion, it was defined by them possessing a higher degree of inner conflict, insecurity, sensitivity, angst, and introspection than is considered socially \\\"normal\\\", and their attraction to music that expressed that (hence them taking the name \\\"emo\\\" from the music). \\\"Emo\\\" never inherently implied such behaviour was feigned. Of course to the outside it may look \\\"Wangsty\\\", sometimes legitimately, sometimes due to the \\\"No Sympathy\\\" trope and general insensitivity and intolerance to other people\\\'s dispositions. But this current assumption that \\\"emo\\\" is the very definition of people POSING as \\\"emos\\\" shows considerable ignorance.
I accept that for the uninformed majority \\\"emo\\\" is applied this way, and thus may be a useful trope in describing overly self-involved, self-pitying characters. But the pages need to be more informed. It would do well to expand the information on the page to give some history of the term, the subculture, and the fact that \\\"emo\\\" has undergone gross \\\"Flanderization\\\" and has been subjected to \\\"Cowboy Bebop At His Computer\\\". It\\\'s a Strawman.
To say that \\\"emo\\\" is purely an insincere image thing shows no understanding of its history or genuine, pre-commercialised subculture. It\\\'s not appropriate to have such a Strawman definition.
