These days, I'm not even sure what the hell emo is. Apparently it used to be a subgenre of hardcore punk, later became emocore (emotional hardcore), and somewhere within the last twenty or so years of its existence it changed into some damn stereotype or fashion style. Nowadays, its just whovever wears skinny jeans, old school or skater shoes, black rimmed glasses, tshirts of bands, and the jet black straight emo haircut. Have any or one or two of the following and some fool will come up to you and ask, "Are you emo?". Seriously..it's getting really ridiculous. You don't even need to cut yourself, just dress up like one and call yourself one. There, I just stereotyped emo and cutting (which I am clueless as to when did cutters become emo? aren't cutters just potentially suicidal people who just need help?)
Emo people are shy, sensitive, and emotional people. That's not how I see it at my school..maybe because all this stereotype stuff is brainwashing me. Or my highschool is messed up with all the "emo wannabees" lined up. Probably both, but I'm forever confused on the real meaning of emo. Give it another decade or two. Let's just wait and see how this emo will keep changing.

1) (1985) some guy: hey man, didn't you just love that Rites of Spring CD? it was cool but I heard its called emocore or something.
2) (today) some poser: got the haircut and I fit in the jeans..woot! cool now I just have to act..depressed..emotional..and maybe even cut myself to stand out!

An emo is one that wears tight jeans, long hair covering a third of their face, cries and cuts themselves cause everyone else in their dark corner does. They are a sub-race of human kind, which is noticeable by the lack of gender difference (the males have no genital). Rather, instead of reproducing, they tend to be parasitic and infect other normal humans with their faggotry.
Emos are very parasitic and MUST be avoided at all times. Normally this is an easy task, as they tend to hang out only in places people don't go (under the staircase, corners of rooms etc.) but sometimes they will urge you to wear those skinny jeans, or cut your hair so it covers half your face. YOU MUST SAY NO and repeatedly punch the emo in the face to knock the evil emo parasite out of the host.

Another word for the lowest, piece of trash, worthless scumbag losers in the world. can also be used to describe children that are well-off with fine lives but think they have it so hard.
if you see an emo kid you should not call the authorities, but attempt to take him/her out by yourself. they are harmless and will only fight back by crying or cutting them selves.
