soft-edge, acoustic alternative music with emotive (usually male) vocals, modern chord patterns, and lyrics shot through with the eternal themes of love and loss in endless variation. Genre originated by David Gates and Bread in the late 1960's (exs.: "If", "Diary", "Baby, I'm A Want You") but known then as "soft rock."

Get the emo mug."Emo" is another word for "faggot" in which angsty teens dress up in black and pretend to have it bad while they live in their nice surburban home in a gated community so they can generate attention.
Beyond contrary belief, emos come in two colors: white and pale. Each having to do with how long one is an emo.

Emo: I'm going to bitch and moan about how much my life sucks in this nice surburban home I have, wasting my time complaining instead of doing something constructive while-
Everyone in response: STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get the Emo mug.A person who usually acts depressed, dresses in very tight clothing (i.e, if male retro Vans skate shoes and sometimes womens jeans), listens to indie music, and in quite a few cases has life very good and just looks for something to be depressed about, but usually has no reason to be (or usually just act) depressed. They also usually have hair over one side of their face (see "AFI").

Get the emo mug.They follow trends.
A dead cat, girl's clothes, makeup, over-emotional is what they think is unique. But what us normal people call pathetic.
They make a big thing of nothing when they are "lonely" and an overwhelming tendancy to like the same sex, and wonder why they get turned down and get "hurt".
Thus, they are sheep.
