Emo is a fashion and music style that originated in the 1980's. Emo music consists of screaming, and ncredibly poetic lyrics. It is short for Emotional Hardcore, as it began as a form of punk rock. Emo bands include (but are not exclusive too): My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Panic! At The Disco, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Hawthorne Heights, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Escape The Fate, Die Mannequin, AFI, The Academy Is.., Cute Is What We Aim For, Dashboard Confessional, From First To Lst, Funeral For A Friend, Rites Of Spring, Silverstien, Thrice, Thursday, Coheed And Cambria, and Underoath. Some emo, such as PATD, has been known to have a dance/techno aspect to it.
Emo fashion is far more easier to define. When it comes to hair, black is usually the staple, although any colour is acceptable (my natural hair colour is actually barbie doll blonde). Hair normally covers half the face, and is straight. Spikes in the back is also emo. Clothes are mostly black, with the odd flouresant colour (such as pink) mixed in. Emo's wear ties, and scarves in just about any colour. An emo shirt is most likely a tight fitting black t with an emo band name on it, or anything from Nightmare Before Christmas or Emily The Strange.
Pants are ALWAYS tight-fitting skinny jeans. No exception. A girl can wear a black skirt overtop, or tight-black leggings (black with skulls is better) and the skirt. Denim in this situation is also acceptable.
Shoes can be converse, or vans. Writing on them (and your jeans) adds a nice touch.
Gloves are a staple of emo, if you can get them fingerless, even better.
Emo can also take on a gothic-hybrid style. Dress shirts and lace can be your best friend. ^^
Make sure you wear thick black eyeliner, black, purple, or grey eyeshadow, and black nailpolsh. Even if your a guy. Trust me, it's hot.
Also, I will say this once, and once only. Emo does NOT mean gay, depressed, or cutting. Emo kids are just being themselves.

Poser Emo: Dude, do you see these cuts? I'm so hardcore!
Real Emo: No, you're not. Get a life, poser.

Get the emomug. Ok so from what I have seen ppl think of emos as sad imitations of Goths, that cry all the time and are never happy. Well apparently you don’t know any1 that is emo. Yes we do cry allot and yes I have cut myself. But I’m not always sad. I have friends that r Goth and we r easily confused. emos r kids that have been through allot and just are tired of life. if you get to know an emo, we're like any other kid. and no, cutting doesn’t hurt if your already crying.

Get the emomug. Emo- short for an over emotional person.
Emo's are fun to make fun of.
Know for cutting themselves and crying a lot.They really need to get a life. Can be spotted due to black hair that covers one eye, black clothes, and black make-up(even on the males). Not to be mistaken for Scene kids.

Get the Emosmug. emos are grunge or goth wannabes that cant get their own life. they cry to music that relates to their so called "problems"
they hang around in groups and do exactly the same as each other to be different from everyone else *cough cough* e.g if 1 emo lights up a fag they all light a fag at the same time and they cry and slit their wrists to music (1 emo band i can be bothered to think of is panic! at the disco) in groups us grunges like to call the-gay-emo-fuckers

1 beautifully sunny day two bisexual emo boys were strolling along the road. one said, "im feeling so depressed today." and runs into the road infront of a speeding car.
splat goes the emo. the other emo boy went home and put on some panic! at the disco and slit his wrists till he died cuz he was so fucking depressed.
the moral of this story is to always remember that, when you see two bisexual emo boys strolling along a road, make sure to drive above the speed limit! he he he 2 dead emos
