Japanese Slang:「エモい」, a versatile adjective for strong emotion

 One of my objectives in Japan was to learn popular slang and words used in Japan that are used often among Japanese people my age. One word I recently learned is 「エモい」, a word I learned from hearing how Japanese youth talk to their friends.

When I went home and searched it up, it is a word to express the feeling of strong emotion. Whether you're feeling a strong sense of happiness, sadness, or sentimental feelings, you can describe this sensation as 「エモい」.

One example of the way I heard the word being used is in the sentence:

「バンドの開催記念日のコンサート、接待エモいわ」roughly translating to "the concert held on the day of the band's anniversary will definitely be "emoi".

When you feel strong emotions, albeit impressive, uncomfortable, sad, or nostalgic keep this word in mind! It is an adjective that is very versatile! :)
