See pussy

A person who thinks their life sucks and instead of dealing with it like normal people they wear black and become pessimists and think very depressing thoughts.

It usually occurs in naive adolescents. When they graduate High School, this wears off and emo adults are very rare.
Pessimist: This glass is half empty.

Optimist: No this glass is half full.

Emo: Who cares i just want to kill myself!

I hate my life and I can't handle the stress, maybe I should just cut myself. -----Emo Person

a type of rock or hard rock with more emotional or complex lyrics. An example of bands that could be considered emo to some people are Fall out boy, My chemical romance, Panic! at the disco, or Green day. A common misconception about emos is that they cut themselves or harm themselves in a way.
"Do you like Green day, i like them because they make such emo songs."
