Emo:
People have said this to be many different things. Well Im pretty sure you are all wrong...
"Emo" is NOT short for emotional, it is short for Emotive Hardcore. Yes. That is a kind of music. It first came out in the mid 80s and died in the late 90s, what we have today is "scenester".
We do still have what you might call "Emo music" Bright Eyes perfected it, Dashboard murdered it, making really really bad attempts of being an Emo band.
Then there are the kids who think they are emo....
Uhm.... these kids listen to screamo, not emo.
Im so emo, I go home and cry while I listen to my shitty Dashboard and pretend the songs are about my life. LOSSSEERRR

People that think jumping off a cliff is a hobby.
Question: Would you rather kill yourself or be an emo? If you said emo, then you'll want to kill yourself. If you said kill yourself, then you already ARE one.

Emo, contrary to popular belief, is not a style of dress, or a genre of music, although the term is often used to classify those things that are associated with and popular amongst emo people. Emo is an emotion, a feeling. Emo is when you find no hope. Emo is when you feel like there is no one who cares or understands. Emo is the type of emotion many feel when they reach rock bottom
John felt emo for months after his best friend died.

Usually a white person, their activites include cutting, crying, writing poetry, and doing non-people things. When sad can be really really depressed. Emos' can also be used for curb stomps. (teeth pressed lightly on a curb, while another person rapidly steps on back of head. Leading to emo with no teeth.)
Hey! Look at that emo! lets go curb stomp him. :]
