Well, there are two types of emo. There are the people who really appreciate the style, then there are the people who try to act emo to be cool or something. These people who pretend to be emo are called posers, and have now ruined the name of being emo, and a lot of other things. No, emo people are not depressed. Depressed people have nothing to do with being emo.
The difference between emo and poser:
Me: I didn't know you like Avril Lavigne! She's my favorite singer.
Poser: I kno! She's lyke totalli punk! I luv gyrlfrend!
Random stranger: Are you depressed or something?
REAL emo person: No... Why do I look like it?

Get the Emo mug.Emo. A sub culture of well off, white, middle class, suburbanite, teenage/twentysomethings, that don't have any real cause for stress in their lives. As this is seen as unacceptable in societies where self proclaimed victimization is seen as a cause and excuse for any possible act. Emo's hence resort to bemoaning their predicment (Otherwise known as emotional masterbation), when 95% of the worlds poulation would quite gladly kill them for what these little twats have handed to them. They also find/express their individuality by dressing and acting like all the other twats which call themselves emo.
Emo people who cut their wrist sideways when everybody knows you do it with the vain if you mean business.

Get the Emo mug.describing one who supposedly has the worst life ever; one who is emo is, typically, Caucasian, annoying beyond compare, dresses differently but doesn't necessarily stand out (in fact they usually fade into the background), has tons of friends but still complains that they have none, is named something edgy, listens to garbage music, references dead memes, is most likely LGBTQ+, sometimes trans, has dyed hair, and refers to themself as trash all the time.
"That emo bitch back there was so fucking louuuuud. And Jesus Christ! What's with that rainbow beanie??"
