Emo was first a music genre, but now it is sometimes accepted as a social clique.
What most people think it is, is someone that wears mostly dark clothing, guys that where eyeliner, and they all cut themselves.
What I have found it to actually be is people who might not have the hardest of lives, but just enough problems to make them think they do. They are not as sad as people think though, they only want other people to think they are. It is just the same as someone who over uses jokes because they have a low self esteem, except sad instead of glad. They might write poetry, where make up, skinny jeans, and stuff, but most "emo" guys are straight. And emo's who are not faking it do not like to be called emo. they are just whoever they are, without labels. the conception that they cut themselves is wrong. some do, but I've met a few preps who take out a razor, to. emo's are just as conforming as all the rest, and the real ones will admit it. they aren't trying to be abnormal, they just like how they look.
-wanna be: hey look at me scars!!! im emo now!! :D
-real thing: no your not. your just a poser and your stupid.

A term I made up that will probably never be used except by me maybe once resulting in me looking like a tool... It basically means you want to cancel the thought, possibility, and/or misconception of anything emo that you have just said or done or what you are about to say or do.
Meant to be the equivillent of the term no homo but being situationally different.
I almost cried when my favorite band finally hit the stage... No emo.

Emoing- the act of acting like a depressed suicidal worthless piece of crap. Altho many people consider emoing it' to be an act of the devil and/or jackie c. sometimes emoing it can be good for ones health. After a long emo sess. one feels refreshed and relaxed much of the same feeling as one recieves after pleasuring themselves.
Nicky- Ayo did you see that kid in the purple saturn emoing it?

Dipper- Nah man why what was he doing?

Diction that is delivered in the same fashion as no homo that reverses possible assumption of emo characteristics. This may refer to emo music, emo fashion, emo lyrics, emo moshing, 'emo people', etc.

Some people may even use the term to REPLACE no homo, believing it to hold the same meaning either way.
Example 1: "I prefer smaller shirts...no emo."
Example 2: "I hate it when bands go mainstream...no emo."
Example 3: "I made a song yesterday using my blog...no emo."

emotive hardcore- what emo stands for. emo is NOT short for emotional. An emo does NOT sit at home all day slitting their wrists. It is a following of emocore, hardcore, or scremo music. derived from the 80's typically there kinda geeky scene kids, but instead of being shallow and self centered they prefere to stick to things that are more important and meaningful.
someone who is emo is someone who are what they want to b and dnt care they get shouted at my chavs
