The other 1200 definitions explain the term itself and its origins better than I can here, but it is important to note that the music and accompanying culture currently labeled "emo" by the press and popular media (as well as by the kids themselves) is essentially the same music and culture we all would have simply referred to as "alternative" a decade ago, and which has been shoveled into the media-created pigeonhole formerly occupied by the (arguably artificial) subgenre of "alternative" music known as "grunge" back in the '90s.
My sister's boyfriend swears he's too emo to watch MTV, but I know he got his Vans at the mall.

Fair game for a large group people who feel compelled to be awesome and point out the obscene amounts of definitions for this article.
Quadruple-digits aren't a big deal; considering that three of those digits are probably people like you.
"Oh SNAPS! 'Emo' has over a thousand definitions. I must point this out to the UrbanDictionary community! As though the people who intend to read them all haven't noticed. C:"

They hate life and they cut themselves. Most if not all of them are clinically depressed. They are ill and they need help. It's hard enough when everyone's making fun of their condition. The term just trivializes their real medical problem. Sure there are posers out there, but that doesn't make it alright to make fun of them. It's not that easy picking out the posers from the ill. You don't know everything that's going on in a person's life, therefore you have no right to make that kind of judgement on them. Show some compassion, you could be saving a life.
Person A: Look at those emo kids over there cutting themselves and bitching about life, so pathetic.
Person B: Yeah they need some help.
Person A: Tell me about it.
Person B: I mean they need professional help, it sounds like they have depression.
Person A: I'm only talking about the posers, relax will you?
Person B: Can you pick out the posers from the afflicted?
Person A: ...
Person B: Then you have no authority to say anything.
