Chreamo Clique

Chreamo can be used in reference to Christian Emos. These Chreamos sometimes display band tees of Christian rock bands and W.W.J.D. wristbands along with the stereotypical emo attire. Although phrases such as "Chreamo Kid" and other slurrs are not very common or quite as applicable to this sub-subculture, they are still regerded similarily to emo and scene kids. Many Chreamo kids find that they are shunned by "Normies" (non emos) because of their Christian beliefs and made fun of because of it, thus, they appear fit in with the 'lonesome emo kid' stereotype.
