I hate the word emo so much. It seems to be used more often out of its intended context.
People seem to think, I do not like this music, it must be emo. I do not like the way this person dresses, they are dark etc. they must be emo.

Have people ever heard of punk, goth? Or any other fashion/music, that is in the rock scene, that is not emo?

Sorry, I am being nit picky, but I get really annoyed at things being labelled incorrectly. I am a bit OCD at times.
Fair enough you do not like the look.

Tattoos do not equal emo. Tattoos do not even necessarily have to be associated with a music scene, or a specific fashion. Regular 'ordinary' people have tattoos too.

I was more or less trying to be funny than anything. I just couldn't help myself. I don't ever consider punk or goth to be emo. I'm a punk rocker myself and would never consider it emo lol. Sadly a lot of punks do not like emos at all because it gives them a bad name. I actually have this argument all the time and to be honest it's nice to see that someone actually shares a similar mindset. People need to understand it's about the lyrics and life style now days, not the looks and appearances. Sorry if I offended you with my prior post.
