A young adult/teenager who cuts their wrists, arms, legs, etc.
The true emos are the one's that actually do the cutting because they have a lot of things in their life that seem to go wrong, and they are not always just the people who wear skinny jeans, scarfs, black side swept hair.

Word to the wise:
If you want to help your emotional friend stop cutting,
Don't: Threaten to tell someone, Tell them to stop cutting, Say that it makes them ugly.
Do: Be there for them, Hang around with them a lot and let them know you are there for them, Say how much you care for them, & Rather than saying to stop cutting do something about it.

Get the Emo mug.Being emo doesn't mean being depressed, suicidal or hating the world. It just means that you're more passionate than most other people. The word itself comes from the word 'emotional' and is used to describe someone who feels more passionately than most other people do. All of us are emo at least some of the time.
Wow, that kids really emo. He got really upset over nothing.
I love that emo kid's poetry, its so passionate and deep.

Get the Emo mug.More a lifestyle than a label. People who are usually depressed who can find no other way to deal with emotional pain than to cut. They cute their wrists, stomach, legs, anywhere they can reach sometimes. Emo's and Scene kids are confused often, having the same fashion sense, but Scene kids dont cut.
'That girl's emo'

Get the emo mug.Listen, I just want to start out by saying, emo is not a way to get attention. Emo is not a brand of music. Emo is not skinny jeans and ripped converse. Emo is not dyed black hair covering the face. Emo is emotional. Emo people aren't doing it for attention (well real emos don't) they do it to see if anyone cares. If there is anyone who gives a crap about their life. If no one is there then they commit suicide. Emo is a way of dealing with problems. The pain of cuts distract the pain from the rest of the world as The blood washes it away. So the next time you call someone a poser or drama queen, think about what they are going through.

Get the emo mug.A style of music relating to mostly underground bands, or music not popular to the self proclaimed 'in crowd'. Common listeners follow trends set by the lead singers of these bands, including skinny jeans, horn-rimmed glasses and band t-shirts. Incredibly false accusations of the term 'emo' include the opinions that people who listen to this style of music have mental disorders such as depression or bipolar depression, and that most all of them SI, or self injure, meaning they cut themselves.
Bands who produce 'emo' music include Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon and several other bands listed under the categories of 'screamo' or 'punk'. People often think the teens who listen to this music mimick the lyrics to the songs, which created the steryotyp that anyone wearing skinny jeans, horn rimmed glasses, black skin tight tops or have the 'emo hairstyle' (layered and teased, mulitcolored) go along are instantly emo.
