look up any word, like swag:
In the mid to late nineties the term Emo applied to people who wore lots of colours in there clothing and cute charactor patches or back-packs, often sporting lots of buttons. These people were eceptionally happy and bouncy. The emotion (emo) the was displayed was a super cheery one not the angsty depression of today's Emo. Happy Emo is also refered to as Old-School Emo.
Normal Person: "Hey there Emo girl"
Happy Emo Girl: *Giggle* "oh Hi there." *bouncy head bobble* "Have you seen my new bag with Bert and Ernie? Isn't it Soooooo Cute!" Giggle squeel*
