Why are some people emo's?

I would say that most emos are teenagers judging from the definitions below. Teenagers go through a lot being in between children and adults trying to figure things out. Some may like the troubled rocker look while others may have decided to accept being an outcast and rebel against the mainstream. Some people are just more comfortable with being depressed... it's like they can't imagine being happy and they just accept it. I think that for the most part it's a phase some teenagers go through.

When referring to a person's personality and attitude, most definitions of emo hold that an "emo person" is candid about their emotions, sensitive, shy, introverted, broken-hearted, glum, and often quiet.

Emo personality is also often connected with writing poetry, which addresses confusion, depression, loneliness, and anger, all resulting from the world's inability to understand the author. Emo poetry uses a combination of any of: a highly emotional tone, stream of consciousness writing, a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme, references to the flesh, especially the heart, heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives, concern over the mutability of time and/or love, and disregard for punctuation, grammar, and/or spelling. Themes such as "life is pain" are common.

Some definitions of emo hold that typical "emo persons" are likely to inflict self-injury, most often by means of cutting, burning, or otherwise mutilating themselves. The theme of self-injury is also common in emo poetry.
