Whats there to hate about cloud and squall?

[The Crystal]

Ive never understood why people always think that these two characters are emo's, when squall is anti-social, and cloud is confused about his past. so can someone please explain to me, whats so emo about that?

Yes, i never understood that too(about Squall at least). But Cloud, he is totally emo. In AC he is not confused about his past anymore, but he still found another excuse to be sad. Was obvious that Zack and Aerith's deads weren't his fault, but he still convinced himself of the contrary, just to be sad. Finding excuses to be sad all the time, is being emo.
