| Popis: | EMO is an emerging and popular internet slang that refers to a negative emotional state. Via content analysis and interview, various perception toward EMO was found in this work. The fundamental motivation to use EMO includes the crowd mentality on social media and its linguistic functions.

Nevertheless, some users refuse to use EMO to express their emotions. The abuse of EMO is perceived as a "dilution" of emotions. Despite different perceptions of EMO, individuals share the consensus that EMO effectively facilitates interpersonal communication as an internet slang, but it is insufficient to dissipate one's negative emotions. However, the massive application of EMO reflected an increase in the public's acceptance and respect toward negativities. Verbalizing and externalizing emotion discharge the unpleasant unconscious feelings silently modifying the emotional well beings of teenagers. |
