Today emo is more commonly tied to fashion than to music, and the term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (sometimes short sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands (or other designer shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and sometimes (stereotypically) thick black box-framed glasses. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad.
When someone says 'emo', the first words to come into your head are usually 'razors', 'suicide', 'depression'. But the fact is, it actually has nothing to do with the genre 'emo'; only the stereotypical type of emos slit their wrists, and only then it's from depression not the fact that you are actually an emo. You cant, say, be a punk and have your wrists and arms untouched and then suddenly change to emo and start slitting because you think its what they do.
