A stereotypical phase the majority of white teenagers go through from the ages of 12-18 where an obsession with BVB and BVB related genre music blooms due to no cognitive thinking on a music level . Also usually the stage in life shortly before they realize they have to grow up, get a job, & that attention seeking in the adult world will get them nowhere but a mental institution.
"Look at that shit emo, cutting for attention because they couldn't get the new BOTDF album from mom."

Get the Emo mug.A term used when describing someone who listens to the genre of music and/or genres such as rock and metal, wears mostly black and other dark colors, has hair that can easily be mistaken as "Bieber hair," is assumed to cut themselves, want to kill themselves, and/or is depressed (which they probably are but thats nothing to make fun of). They're horribly mistreated and judged just because of what they wear, the kind of music they listen to, and the way the portray themselves to be.
" Hey John, did you see the new kid at school today? He's kinda weird, huh?"
"Yeah, he's such an emo fag."

Get the Emo mug.Emos are stereotyped as people who have dark hair (usually black) that covers most of their face, they wear black eyeliner,black nail polish,converse,skinny jeans or"girl pants",&tight shirts(usually band t's).People think they listen to bands considered to be"emo"&think emos are depressed all the time&are suicidal&self-harm..Totally untrue.Not all emos are like that.Emos are people who feel emotions very strongly.Hint: emo=emotion.Whether it be happy,sad,mad, etc.They listen to whatever they want to&they don't have to dress or look a certain way!Yes, a lot of them may look like a stereotypical emo kid, but they're just wearing what they want. Sometimes they express themselves through clothing and makeup.Others do the same thing.Also,not all emos cut.Some do,some don't.Cutting(one of the many forms of Self-Harm),beingsuicidal,writing,going off alone,anything else you all would label as"emo"behaviors,they do it as a way to express their emotion or release what they feel&just because someone cuts it doesn't mean they're emo(people do it to cope with depression, just like people use alcohol to cope with it,and they need help.So next time you hear of someone harming themselves,think twice before you call them"a whiny emo fag"or something because that's what bullies do and we all need to stop bullying).Not all emos listen to"emo"bands and singers and wear dark clothing all the time and darkmakeup and shitand are depressed all the time. Stop stereotyping people.
Me: "If you all can't see what emo is by reading my definition, then I don't know what to do.
Two things I'd like to say though:
1.) Stop stereotyping people.
2.) Stop bullying emos...And don't just stop bullying emos. Stop bullying gays, people with disabilities, people you all label as 'nerds', people who self harm...Stop bullying EVERYONE. You don't know what people are going through. Their lives are hard enough and they don't need you to make it worse because you could drive them to suicide (which isn't funny AT ALL)."

Get the Emo mug.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.Emo can mean a lot of things, & as with any label, it is just one word trying to desribe something much bigger, so it's not strictly one thing or another, & it's meaning changes over time.
Originaly, emo was a music scene in the 90s & short for "emotive" now Emo is more generaly accepted to be short for the word "emotional" which is not to say one is more correct but that the word "emo" has changed over time.
1. A music genre of a typicaly melodramatic, not always depressing but often emotional rock genre, or a softer version of hard-core rock. Describes bands like MCR.
2. A type of indavidual, generaly a teen, who is very emotional. They may or may not listen to "emo" genre & may or not follow the "emo" style (black hair covering one eye, tight dark clothing, wrist bands...) they typicaly wear alot of black but don't have to, but are troubled indaviduals, often with a mood disorder &/or alot of abuse in their past. Some emos cut themselves or self-mutilate, but not all do. some are suicidal, but they don't have to be.
Alot of people would classify someone as "emo" who really is more "poser," or trying to "be" emo, or any other subculture, in order to get attention. (pretending to cut, making a point of wearing "emo" clothing...) This does NOT go for all emos.
3. Anything particularly dark or emotional. Any writing that is particularly anxty or talks about loss, depression, feeling of being alone or differant. The same goes for any form of artistic expression.

1. I like to listen to alot of music; i like metal, emo-rock, and some alternative.
2. I have been acting alot more emo since i got into high-school, becasue i have had alot more anxiety, and i find myself wearing alot more black.
3. This poem about my dog dying came out sounding really emo.
