Emo kids can generally be spotted and identified by their awful taste in clothing, music, and shitty haircuts. They are also known to hang out in small groups, known as a gaggle after the silly N. American fowl they often sound like. Thinking themselves to be original and artsy, they often try to form bands, which will die out in the next ten years just like every other trendy social niche ever has.
The best, and most entertaining way to kill an emo, is to get them slightly buzzed, provide them with a sharp razor, and then berate them for hours on end. (i.e. describing in detail the lewd sexual acts you performed on their respective family members, favorite bands, or generally telling them how much they suck). They will usually respond by crying, trying to hit you and almost always failing, and eventually cutting themselves to ribbons, even after the blade has become dull from trying to penetrate the dense armor plated skull they all seem to have; through which no logic or creativity can possibly penetrate.

Punk: I'm shit faced
Goth: I'm tanked
Punk: Let's fuck and make a shitty baby together
Goth: Sure, I'm bored and I can whine about how bad the sex was later
Punk: That's cool, I just want to hate fuck your fat ass anyway
Ten months later...
EMO BABY IS BORN!

Get the Emomug. A subculture in which you can see people wearing lots of black, ripped clothing with black hair, eyeliner, and piercings. They do not seem to care what other people think a lot of the time and wear lots of dark clothing. They generally have an aura of depressiveness and/or angst about them and can be antisocial all of the time or sometimes because of their nature or personal experiences in their past. Emo music is generally music that has an underlying message of hating oneself, or hating what they have become or talking about death, self harm, or other forms of pain. It is typically a bit softer than hard rock, but more hardcore than pop or easy listening rock. Emos also typically self harm themselves, mainly because they are of the mindset that they hate themselves. Obviously not every emo self harms, and not every emo self harms for that reason, but it is very common.
An emo should NOT be mistaken as the same thing as a goth. Goths wear lots of vampirical dress, and are generally more interested in the evil, satanic sort of thing. Emos are upset at themselves or the world and are closed off, they aren't necessarily unfriendly though, lots of emos I know are very nice, but they are typically not the type to be all outgoing and bubbly.

I'm an emo, I wear thick eyeliner and I cry alone in my room everyday, and if you have a problem with me then leave because I have been through enough hell to deal with you.

Get the Emomug. Emo is basically a more complex version of punk. It targets the feeling of the audience and originated in 1980. People like to take the mick out of emos coz apparently we are self harming idiots that like attention, this is not true because you don't have to hate yourself to be an emo. that is a load of rubbish....
Jess (typical emo wannabe): omg i just want to die!!!!
everyone else: emos are such emotional attention seekers.
Me: my point exactly....

Get the emomug. A very cool person.

Get the emomug. A person who has a lot of emotion and likely cries over issues that most people would shrug off. A person who can also be angry at many aspects of their life. Being a true emo person has absolutely NOTHING to do with clothing style, hair style, the people they associate with, or how they talk. You are not an 'emo' or acting 'emo' if you think that being an 'emo' means wearing black, having some multi-coloured or crazy hairstyle, cutting, talking about death, or wearing tight clothes ECT. In other words, a true emo could be viewed as a person who is overly sensitive on the sadness/happiness spectrum.

Get the emomug. An emo is someone who has long hair, usually covering one eye or both, and wears black skinny jeans, band t-shirts, and beanies, as well as having a ton of bracelets. They usually listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Bullet For My Valentine, or something of that genre (emo). They may or may not wear makeup as well as a large amount of black eyeliner (both males and females). Not all emos cut themselves, they are not devil worshippers, and they aren't all depressed. While there are some cringy losers that call themselves emo, for the most part, emos are pretty cool. Emos are like any other clique. There are some asswipe emos and there are some friendly emos.
Asswipe emo: My life sucks, nobody understands me, I want to die, angst angst angst.
Normal Emo: Gerard Way is our lord and savior.
