Emo is just a word. It loosely describes a group of people that are inspired by music, have an alternative dress sense but cannot be called Goths or Punks. Emo is a new sub-culture of fashion and being that draws influence from predecessors' best bits whilst retaining its individuality. Usually it's only parents that mistake an 'Emu' for a Goth.
Emos are similar to punks in that they are not apologetic about dressing differently, although you're probably less likely to get headbutted for offending one. One aspect of Emo culture is the friendships between them and the way they appreciate one other. Whilst some peer groups condemn someone for daring to change or look different. Emo can be casual but bright; with contrasting colours and prints like a Nu-Punk Contrast, or can be darker, smarter and more sophisticated but with an elaborate edge.
The people involved in it didn't wake up one morning and think 'I want to be an Emo'. Emo isn't any particular fashion trend; it can be everything and nothing - its an attitude.
Taking risks isn't without its risks though, obviously, Emos are marked as targets of abuse for being different. Some people have to stereo-type things to understand them, others want to bring it down to its base level and others want to destroy what is different.

Stereotypical Emo - A person who wears skinny jeans, different shirts, and usually have black hair that is swept-ed across the face, or hair that covers or hovers over one of the eye.

Get the Emomug. The most commonly misconceived word in popular culture. Often used by Middle-School aged kids to insult their peers who listen to rock music.
Emo is, in reality, a subgenre of 80s hardcore punk, created by bands like Fugazi, Rites of Spring and Embrace. Later, in the early 90s, it was furthered by bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker.
Pop-Rock bands commonly mistaken for "Emo"
My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy
Jimmy Eat World

Get the Emomug. emotionally challenged youth desperately seeking either a. the attention of their parents or b. the attention of their friends and will undoubtedly continue not understanding why they a. have parents that don't want anything to do with them and b. have no friends
these unfortunate people can be identified by spotting the terrible 80's attire and cosmetic products in a fashion that is directly attempting disgust in an effort for one to "see the inner beauty" of their toils.

The group called themselves emo, but were, in reality, scared children seeking the solace of poor fashion sense.
