Okay, I've read through these stupid definitions on here for emo, and they're all WRONG.
I am an emo, so I figured this would be the best way for you numbskulls to get it through your minds. "Emo" IS short for "emotional". To be emo, you have to listen to the music, i.e. My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Underoath, etc, etc wear the clothes, i.e. skinny jeans, studs, etc, etc and have the personality. Now, personality is the biggie here. An emo personality is not always depressing, oh, and hint hint, EMO'S. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. CUT. Emo's do, however, need to be a bit shy, poetic, and generally pretty intelligent. Emo's are also usually very, very nice people. Most of them, now I say most, not all, understand hurt. Generally emo's are shunned from society, but they're always willing to talk to someone. Emo's are sensitive, and only want their thoughts to be heard. Emo's do not always cut, are not always depressed, don't wear just black, and aren't freaks. They're people.

Here is an emo IM conversation:
PoeticXpoison: Hey. Haven't talked to you in a while.
Simmering_emotions: I know. I've been a bit stressed lately. How are you?
PoeticXpoison: I've been okay. Got a few new CD's, couple T-shirts, you know.
Simmering_emotions: That's great. You know, I think posers have been multiplying at school.
PoeticXpoison: What makes you say that?
Simmering_emotions: The fact that random preps are suddenly dressing in all black, wearing a ton of studs, writting horrid poetry, and slitting their wrists.
PoeticXpoison: How pointless. I wish they would realize that you don't have to hurt yourself...
Simmering_emotions: Same here.
PoeticXpoison: Hey, do you want to come over here later? We can listen to the new Panic CD.
Simmering_emotions: Sounds great. See you around...five?
PoeticXpoison: Perfect.
