<p>Most of the people that one would consider “emo” are not emo. And most of them do not cut themselves at all. I am not scene or emo, but I religiously listen too the screamo/pop punk/hardcore music and go to shows all of the time and it is very, very rare to see an actual “emo” kid. No scene kids (the ones most people are thinking about when they think emo) act depressed in any way. It is just a style that follows a few genres of music.</p>
