1) A genre of music that is similar to punk, but a little less rough and with more emotional lyrics. Contrary to popular belief, it does not mean "emotional", it means " emotive hardcore".
2) A label to describe someone. Usually for people with dyed hair, piercings, dark clothing, etc.

You don't have to be depressed, have an eating disorder, or self harm to be emo.

Unlike everyone says, most emos don't whine and really aren't as bad as everyone thinks. The posers, the annoying ones, are scene.
My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! At The Disco are considered the emo holy trinity in the emo community.
