The emotional side of punk; the sad/dramatic side of punk rockers. People who wish to announce they are emo may cut hair so it covers (at least) one eye and wear eyeliner and layer their clothes note: this does NOT mean that all people who dress like this are "emo" Emos look at love and life through black-covered glasses and may occasionally smile if among other emos. Emos are known for hating "preps" group of people who hate black and pop their collars. Emo is also associated with cutting of wrists -- emos may do this and they may not, but if they do, they're just gay because that is something stupid to do.
BE WARNED OF EMO WANNABES -- people who cut their hair, wear the makeup, pretend to cut, and generally act like a-holes. They are not emo. They are WEMO - wannabe emo. Also be aware (but friendly) to the ELMOs - they dress emo but they are happy outgoing people and love to laugh and be normal with their friends -- they are ELMOs (they try to be Emo but come off more Tickle-me-Elmo)

Get the EMO mug.There are too many stereotypical definitions for an emo on Urban Dictionary, so I'm going to try to clear this up for those who don't know what they're talking about. Emo stands for "emotionally challenged", yes, but that's not a synonym for "melodramatic, cutting, freaks who over dramatize everything", because not every single emo on the planet is like that. Usually, the over dramatic ones are the fake ones trying to get attention from everyone.
Emo people are usually those who have very difficult lives at home or in general, constantly facing problems that effect them emotionally, and drive them into a self panic. They usually think there's nothing really anyone can do for them, they feel very alone in the world. Its true, nobody knows just how much they go through in a day, with people criticizing, bashing, and labeling them alone. Most people are too dim or self absored to see through their thick skull and realize the pain these people go through everyday.
When people start shooting off their mouth about how emos are black dressing, cutting, eye-liner wearing, melodramatic, freaks, that's only because it's what society has labeled them as. And maybe, they do wear eyeliner or dress in all black, but does that give you the right to bash them? Does that make them any less of a person? All they need is for you to walk up to them and give them a compliment and maybe even become friends. Because, if you do that, you could really really realllly make that persons day. Emos are NOT a frkn subculture, so STOP saying that, they're humans like you and me.

Random Dumbass: "Hey, look at the freakish emo over there, bet he just finished cutting himself, the dumb shit!"
Random Guy: "DUDE! Wtf is your problem? He actually looks like a pretty nice guy. I think we all know who the REAL dumbass is..."
*random Guy #2 proceeds to go over and talk to Random Emo*

Get the Emo mug.Kids who often feel rejected or unaccepted in what most people would call the "normal" groups. Most of the time clothed in darker colors such as gray and black. They make friends just like everyone else but tend to only feel really comfortable around others like themselves. Contrary to popular belief, Emo kids do not ALWAYS want to kill themselves. The cutting is actually an action from form of depression and many non-emo people do it also.

Get the Emo mug.1. A music genre. Emotional Harcore, Emotive Hardcore, Emocore. A type of rock music origionated from hardcore punk. characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s. Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s. In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance. (wikipedia, for onece, it's true)
2.A steroetype that many people believe. It tells us that 'emo kids' cut their wrists, write poetyry/songs, lock themselves in their rooms, whine, cry, and most importantly, they are though to be posers.
Yes, there are 'emo' posers, but there is, every so often, a true 'emo'
I'm my opinion, 'emo' just means different and slightly more emotional at times. Not all 'emos' cut or write poetry, yada, yadam, yada, blah, blah, blah.
There is also the style, which is more colourful, 'scene'.
Also...give them a break, you don't know why those people have no friends or cry. You don't know what situation they're in.
