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.

Get the Emo mug.Emo is a state of mind, or the modern term for depressed. What people say is emo, long hair, guyliner, converse, raccoon eyes, ect. is all called scene. Scene people are bubbly but deep. Emo on the other hand, is where something in ones life seems to have scarred them. They beleive there is no-one to run to, so they bottle stuff up, and or use self harm.
Scene kid: "YAAY! I bought a new Tu-tu and some new liquid eyeliner! VICTORY IS MINE"
Emo kid: "There is that side of me where im sad...but happy enough to fake being happy...then there are those days where i cant even bring myself to be happy"

Get the Emo mug.Usually jealous teens who cut themselves and complain about how shitty their life is, when really, all they want is attention. People who cant fit in with the outgoing kids and despise preps. Most of them have fun by getting high or drunk because they dont know how to do anything else with their lives. These kids usually cloth themselves in black and ripped up skinny jeans and cake there eyes with black liner. Do not ever befriend an emo for they will do nothing but bring down your mood and drag you with them through their shitty lives.

Get the Emo mug.n. 1. The generation of teenagers that missed out on the 90's grunge boom, and consequently were stuck with 00's soft punk (ex. Simple Plan, The Killers, and Fallout Boy) therefore losing all sense of self pride and taste in music.
n. 2. The kid you see sitting in the corner of your school library with a guitar playing a soft melodic tune with dark hair, tight pants, and a hoody. He most likely has a razor of some sort on his person.

Bella from the Twilight series would be the female emo.
Any male that watches and/or reads Twilight would be the equivelant.
