Well, i would imagine an emo kid would to be someone (USUALLY a teenager) who is pretty in touch with their emotions. Yes, poets write about their emotions, but if everyone who wrote about their emotions was to be concidered a poet, well fuck, i know a lot of poets. There's a time and place to write about your emotions. Not MSN! I just think that using an msn screen name to share these feelings is just attention seeking, really. It's maybe someone's way of letting everyone else know that they've just broken up with their girlfriend or that their feeling depressed. If one was really depressed, i'd imagine one would usually like some privacy. The definition of the "emo" i'm trying to pinpoint is as i said in my original post. Emo = Ego
