pseudo-emo 

Somebody who pretends to be emo, or makes up false stories about their sucky life. Usually tend to be 12-14, but there are numerous pseudo-emos who can be found in a higher age range. In difference to someone who actually has something like depression, or a disorder that singles them out, pseudo-emos act solely for attention.

Teenager 1: Joe told me his dad beat him last night so he cried so hard and then cut his wrists!
Teenager 2: Yeah, too bad I've known Joe since he was five and his dad is really nice. And his wrists look very untouched for something that happened last night. He's just the classic pseudo-emo kid.

pseudo-neo-emo 

What a modern day 'emo' really is. Emo music is actually defined by such bands as Rites of Spring, and was really just another subgenre of hardcore punk. Today's pseudo-neo-emo is just a digusting individual who looks at livejournal, cock-in-hand whilst crying about nelson mandela's death. Irony, it's a virtue.

emo: I enjoy my subgenre of hardcore punk
pseudo-neo-emo: *cuts wrist* oh how my life sucks so much that I steal my 'scene' from an already poor subgenre of punk.
true punk: 'oi, anarchy yeah!'
normal person: right.

Pseudo-Emotional Relationship 

A relationship relying on a media which cannot convey emotion; rather, inspire emotional responses based solely on the interpretation of the recipient which, being constructed almost entirely from their own idealistic expectations, often proves to be falsely based. Commonly found in "catfish" cases (see Catfish).

I've been talking to Amy and we're completely in love with each other. I've only ever spoken to her on facebook, and she says she doesn't have a webcam, but I love her with all my heart and I want to marry her.

- Since the only medium in which any contact has been made is just text-based, any emotions are created by the recipient, not the proposer. Hence, the emotion is not actually consistent between both parties, resulting in a pseudo-emotional relationship.
