Someone who listens to music with a deeper meaning and uses it to find themselves. Emos usually wear black and have a general dislike for other humans. Most emos like bands such as my chemical romance, panic! at the disco, fall out boy, falling in reverse, Green Day, paramore, all time low, bring me the horizon, and many others. Some emos can be found wearing heaven eye makeup, usually black eyeliner.
Person 1: OMG Emos are just gross suicidal freaks
Anyone smart: Educate yourself dumbass.
Anyone smart 2: Emo people are just like you but with better taste in music.

Get the Emo mug.What people think it is: self harm, depression and everything is black
What it actually is: spinning around to your favorite song from My Chemical Romance, Green Day, or Taking Back Sunday till you fall over exhausted and ponder what you're doing with your life. You wear mostly dark colours, (not necessarily black), listen to emo, screamo, or punk bands. You don't have to cut either. If an emo does, that's for a completely different reason (unless they are a fake wannabe emo). They are like everyone else but they like their music to have meaning and they pay attention the darker sides of things, not just the ideal sides.

Yes, I'm an emo, but that doesn't make me any different than the next person. Maybe just a little bit darker.

Get the Emo mug.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!
(And the world suffers)

Get the emo mug.Someone who listens to rock/punk/alternative/emo music, which includes bands like Fall out boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the disco, three days grace and Green day. Emos normally express themselves through the way they dress E.g: Band t-shirts, skinny jeans, meanies, converses and dark clothing.
Some emo stereotypes are: being un-sociable, being dramatic, being suicidal, being depressed and sad.
However, these are STEREOTYPES and do not apply to all Emos.

Get the Emo mug.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....
