Emo

An emotionally unstable person. They don't have to wear black or cut themselves. Those are just stereotypes. They can be your next store neighbor and you would probably never know. Mostly, they are emo, because of bipolar issues and nothing seems to make them happy. Even Marilyn Monroe was emo.
That girl must be emo, because she always looks so sad. (I don't know, I had to fill in the example!)

Emo

a person usualy between the age of 11 and 18 who wears tight jeans and brand hoodies

they are usualy from middle class white backgrounds and decide to become an emo because
A) they want to fit in (for some reason)
B) something very minor hapened in their life (like breaking up with some guy/girl) which they make a big deal of

C) they are confused

despite coming from semi privelaged backgrounds emo's usualy promote their life being shitty and hell and want to die

however as there is no real dramam in their lives they simply do this to get attention

The most hardcore Emo's are simply "pussy Goths"
"im an emo my life sucks kill me now WAAAAA"

"dude if you want to die it would contradict you being an emo cos then you would b happy"

"uh?"

"never mind, you baby"

"WAAAAA!"

Emo

Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style.

Emo has been criticized for its androcentrism and the tendency of most emo bands to relegate women to the role of muse or heartbreaker in their lyrics

Too many today, it used to be a thing only a small ammount of people did, now you can see some kids as young as 10 getting in on the act.
They often sound the same when justifying themselves aswell, (see below).
