Emo, short for Emotional. Pretty much your definition right there. A whole bunch of sorrow filled people, who listen to downtrodden music which lyrics usually consist of groans and moans of past relationships that went wrong and they take there pain to the extreme. Typically "cutters" or, people who cut themselves when they are upset to release their emotional pain (which is very unhealthy by the way.) Majority of Emo's are homo/bi-sexual. Usually "Punks" do not get along with them. ("Indie sux, hard-line sux, EMO SUX, you suck!"-Antiflag)
Emo bands include, but are not limited to: my chemical romance, the used, and taking back sunday.

A large subculture usually made up of Caucasian teens creating drama where there is none. And If there is some, or something terrible has happened, they end up thinking it's a huge problem. this usually ends up with them cutting themselves on the arm, leg, penis, clit whatever. Then if this doesn't help solve anything they will perceive they don't matter and will then change their appearance. Usually all black or wierd clothing. (Large baggy pants that can be mistaken for skirts. If this doesn't help they then they think since no one has noticed the change that they mean nothing to the world. They then go one to think they have no friends and go and kill themselves. (either slashing of wrists, runs, drugs, hangings, etc

People who are overly depressed over the littlest things. The ones who can't suck it up like the rest of us. Attention seekers.
"Upset leave me da fuck alone.. MISSING U HURTS ME SO MUCH.. Fuck everybody..Fuck da bronx!! So fucking upset and mad and alone.. My mandi got more brain and looks then anybody else.. Just please leave me alone.. I can't take it anymore.. Everybody leaving me behind.. I don't need to be here anymore.. There's no more room for me in this life time goodbye.."

Emo is someone or something that is emotional. Despite what the majority of people think, they do not cut themselves.

See pussy

A person who thinks their life sucks and instead of dealing with it like normal people they wear black and become pessimists and think very depressing thoughts.

It usually occurs in naive adolescents. When they graduate High School, this wears off and emo adults are very rare.
Pessimist: This glass is half empty.

Optimist: No this glass is half full.

Emo: Who cares i just want to kill myself!

I hate my life and I can't handle the stress, maybe I should just cut myself. -----Emo Person
