Highly Evolved's definitions
An expensive, overpriced, small mp3 playing device that can store a large capacity of mp3s. I'd find them useless, seeing as I can't even think of 1/10 the amount of songs you're able to put into it.

What Emo Is And Some History.
Emo is short for emotive hardcore. It's a DIY music style (not a shitty fashion) that started in the 80's. Emo follows (but is not restricted to) the lines of hardcore. Hardcore is a subgenre of punk, therefore, so is emo. The first emo band is often credited to Rites Of Spring. They played with hardcore punk rock energy (as the members were previously involved with hardcore bands) and lots of emotion through their performance and with their audience. Their lyrics seem to have important views about life and a sense of deepness.
"Emo" As A Term.
The term "emo" was generated as an insult to people in the hardcore scene that liked these bands. An emo band's performance on stage (can include crying/moaning/etc. their lyrics and various other events) probably made them look "weaker" to the hardcore kids, which is (why I think) "emo" was directed as an insult.
What Screamo is.
Screamo has evolved from emo. This music style invloves more screaming and often has more melodic breakdowns. Screamo is still emo, therefore follows its guidelines.
What Emo Is Not.
Emo is not short for emotional. Emo is not a fashion. Emo is not "XxXxXxXOMMMFFGZZZZ IM LYKE, SO DEPRESSED!XxXxX!!!1!!111 IM GONNA SLIT MY WRISTZZZZZZZ...LOL..XxXxXxX" Emo was not mainstream (because it was DIY). Emo has nothing to do with being depressed, shitty metaphors, or suicide. Emo is not whiney, bullshit music sung by pubescent males that haven't dropped their balls yet.

Get the Real Emo mug.by Highly Evolved March 28, 2005
Get the world peace mug.Used in real life conversations or IM meaning, "I'm pretending that's funny, but it's really not" or, "I have not idea/I don't care what you just said, so I'm gonna say this." Also sometimes used with lack of enthusiasm in real life to show sarcasm.
Similar to lol, lolocaust, and haha.

Get the Haha, that's funny mug.A show featuring a pokemon trainer named Ash and funny looking monsters that can only say their own name. Was a good show, until they came out with newer pokemon that looked like other pokemon, just with different names. Most pokemon and episodes passing the original 151 pokemon are lame. Also a trading card game.
Me: I loved the old Pokemon and even collected the cards.
My Sister's Ex-Boyfriend's Religious Christian Mom: There's something you're hiding! The devil posesses you because you like Pokemon!
Me: Yeah..whatever...Get away from me...

Get the pokemon mug.Some sort of horrid "band". They exist to annoy the shit out of everyone. I'm thinking they're all gay and the lead singer only makes out with some chick in a video to cover up his gayness.
Girl at Maroon 5 Audition: What? You mean I have to make out with him!?!?!?
Director: Yeah, but I'll pay you 3000 bucks if you agree.
Girl at Maroon 5 Audition: Ahh, screw it. You'd have to pay me more than that! I'm outta here!
Director: Damn, lost another one! Alright, girl 23, you're ne...Wait, you're a guy!
"Girl" 23: I know, but he's so beautiful!
Director: Well, you're the last one, go ahead!
Director: Yeah, but I'll pay you 3000 bucks if you agree.
