    Emo was a big thing when I was in highschool about 10 years ago. The emo haircut was pretty popular then too. No clue if it is now. Virtually all of the emo kids I knew from back in the day are straight.

    As a generalization, I would think emo kids are possibly more likely to be LGBT on average, but that's merely speculation, and I don't have any numbers to back it up.

    I'm an emo kid; I'm gay. My friend is emo; she's ace.

    Of course, so many other people at my school are also emo-or-emo-esque, and straight as hell. It all comes down to personality, not orientation.

    My profile status says emo but I've never been. I just think the style is hot. But it's pretty silly to say all or even most are likely LGBT.

    I don't think emo turns kids gay.
    I feel that the emo culture , the outcast cliques in general, apply to LGBT people because of the amount of bullying and shit we have to take. We find like minded people who understand our pain within these cliques.
    But there are also plenty of LGBT jocks, preps, Goths, band geeks, etc etc. Some find it easier to come out in certain cliques more that others.

    I hung out with emo kids and art nerds, but I didn't actually fall into those labels. I mostly kept tonmyself and traveled from group to group to talk to the friends I had in each.

    It seems to me that much of the LGBT youth is emo, but that not as many emo people are LGBT.

    The phenomenon is almost like the square-rectangle relationship: all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

    Change every instance of the word "all" into "many", and that pretty much sums up the LGBT-emo relationship.

    Huh, that would be cool if Emo did turn kids gay; that way, I'd make variations of the Emo look the official school uniform in all public schools, across the country...only I would add Neko ears, to make it a bit cuter.

    Not emo, but when I was in high school, the LGBT people that I knew of were weird af. That's why I didn't think I could be gay. Because I wasn't like them.

    "Emo kids" might be more open to the idea of being gay, but being emo doesn't make you gay.

    What others said. Being emo doesn't make you gay.

    Emo is still a thing?! I think LGBT people are attracted to the emo subculture, but I don't think being emo makes you gay.

    I didn't know emo still existed. I remember we had a few in high school and after being emo they went to being a biker and after that they stopped all together. I don't associate emo to being homosexual some emo kids get so many girls after them.

    I have no idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were called gay and other names for bending gendered expressions. A few trans women I've met went through an emo phase in high school, and there's a huge market for emo twinks in the xxx industry.

    There was a fad where emo boys would kiss to make fan girls squee, but again... I'm not sure that's any different from bi chic.

    Idk. But I swear every emo person I've ever known is bisexual, not gay, straight, or lesbian.

    Which leads me to think they're only "experimenting". "Bisexual" is the default label for someone experimenting, it seems. This was my high school experience. Many "emo/scene" kids I knew claimed to be bisexual in high school and now they no longer do.

    Most emo/scene people I knew were straight and still identify as such.
    Funny enough the two most well known gay guys at the high school I went to were not emo at all. One was part of the theatre crowd, and the other was a skater (this does not count as emo to me, but it might to others)

    If the emo kids are gay then they will belong to the LGBT community. Emos are usually considered gay in the more pejorative sense of the word. Unless a small cohort of the emo kids are just emo for attention and them claiming to be bisexual is adding to the attention. Note i am not attempting to invalidate their sexuality as there are true bisexuals within the subculture, it;s just that many of them aren't actually bisexual.

    However, they are diverse in sexuality and gender identity like anyone else. The emo/goth subculture tend to be more accepting of identities that are not the norm, which attracts many LGBT people.

    It could go either way, who knows.
