emo 

although you say that "emo" isn't a term that means "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" etc, surely if people commonly use the word "emo" to describe all that shit, then the word "emo" really does mean "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" because that is how it has come to be interpreted. That's called ETYMOLOGY, dumbass, and it's precisely what this site is designed for!

> He is sooo emo
* yeah. Eeeemooo...eeemooo!

Thus a person is labelled as "emo" and the word "emo" is used to describe that type of person. savvy?
