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.

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, (AKA Emocutwristalotitis) People who have a physical disorder that makes them unable to smile, causes their tear ducts to uncontrollably water, tune their ears into a minor key and causes 45 degree angled black hair to sprout!
Emo: Doctor, doctor what's wrong with me
Doctor: Seems you have Emocutwristalotitis, you should stay away from MCR, razor blades and hair straighteners if you wish to be cured!

Get the emo mug.Listen, I just want to start out by saying, emo is not a way to get attention. Emo is not a brand of music. Emo is not skinny jeans and ripped converse. Emo is not dyed black hair covering the face. Emo is emotional. Emo people aren't doing it for attention (well real emos don't) they do it to see if anyone cares. If there is anyone who gives a crap about their life. If no one is there then they commit suicide. Emo is a way of dealing with problems. The pain of cuts distract the pain from the rest of the world as The blood washes it away. So the next time you call someone a poser or drama queen, think about what they are going through.
