- 2007, Brett Fujioka, "Quit 'Yer Whining!" (Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA), The Occidental:
- iChat (a Mac version of AIM) possesses a similar function to Facebook’s status update. There’s a customizable “available” status option opposite of “away” (I just got a Mac last year, so this is new to me). Don’t abuse this option like others do with the status update on Facebook.
- To emphasize how annoying these methods of bitching are, I’ll whip out the E word. Yes, the E word—the one label that nobody wants. Each and every one of these media of bitching and whining are Emo with a capital E. I’ll just leave it at that, because people might start to suspect things from my Emophobia.
- 2007, Jason Vanderlaan, "Emo-phobia: What's to fear?", The Southern Accent (Southern Adventist University), 5 April 2007, page 7:
- Emo-phobia. Believe it or not, there is a huge problem with emo-phobia in many of our churches today. And by "emo" I don't mean the musical genre/fashion/subculture/whatever. As much as church members may also be afraid of the caricaturized, stereotypical emo kid (i.e. tight pants, vintage t-shirts, long dark hair hanging down over one eye, depressing poetry, etc.), that's not what I'm talking about. The problem I'm concerned about is our obsessive fear of emotion when worshipping, especially through music and singing.
- 2017, Guy Thomas, Loss Coverage: Why Insurance Works Better with Some Adverse Selection, page 147:
- Emo-phobia generally indicates that the speaker wishes to argue against a position which has both popular appeal and moral rightness (e.g. not inflicting further harm on persons already disadvantaged by genetic predispositions), in order to advance some unpopular and selfish interest (e.g. marginal commercial gain for insurance companies). Recognising the weakness of this position, the speaker seeks to disparage popularity and moral rightness as ‘emotional’ properties.

- 2008, "Libby", quoted in Francis Farrell, Vini Lander, & Shereen Shaw, "Britishness, Identity and Belonging", page 42:
- ‘Like emo-phobia which is discrimination against sub-groups like Goths, chavs, emos and I don't think that's something that should be ignored either because I've experienced that being kind of a Goth myself but I think that it's still a problem and it still affects people in the same way that sexism and racism does but it needs to be talked about more’.
- 2008, Steven Wells, "The Mexican emocalypse", The Guardian, 1 April 2008:
- But I'm guessing it's unlikely that emophobia will spread north and west.
