They’re always left hanging.
The joke “Why do emo kids hate high fives? They’re always left hanging” plays on the phrase “left hanging” and a stereotype associated with emo culture. “Left hanging” typically refers to the awkward situation where one person raises their hand for a high five, but the other person does not reciprocate, leaving the gesture uncompleted. In the context of the joke, this phrase is used as a double entendre. The stereotype of emo culture and its members like to focus on negative things, dark premonitions and deprivation of enjoyment, like self harm and suicide.
High fives are too mainstream; they prefer a solemn nod.
Because they prefer to keep their hands in their pockets, along with their feelings.
