Emo

While little known, 'emo' is short for emotional. One can be emo, while portraying /any/ emotion, though the word is usually not used to represent any other emotion than sadness; agony; mental pain.

This word generally comes with a negative connotation, especially when someone is labeled it by outstanding parties, rather than claiming it for his or her self.

A harsh definition of an emo person is someone who cuts his or her body, out of desperation. While people do this on occasion, most of them are likely only looking for attention in the form of scars marking up their bodies. A truly emo person would not want anyone to know about his or her negative thoughts.

One who claims to be emo likely listens to music that portrays these dark emotions through its lyrics and sometimes instrumentation.

'Emo' can also be used to describe this type of music. An example of an emo, or emo-influenced, band is Hawthorne Heights.
Example 1.
Carter: Brad, how did you get those scars?! Is someone hurting you?!
Brad: My only enemy is myself...I-I'm emo, Carter.

Example 2.
Casey: Quit your crying, you little emo baby.
Megan: But what point is there in living?

Emo

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.

emo

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.
