Get the emomug. a genre which has lost its meaning over the years and now currently consists of mostly 14-19 year olds, mostly consisting of wearing black clothes, tight ripped pants (if you're a guy) or short slutty skirts with fishnet stockings (if you're a girl), hair worn in a certain retarded manner, jewelry from Hot Topic, requires listening to Dashboard Confessional, etc. These people all strive to be unique but somehow all end up the same. It is easy to identify an emo by the typically downcast look, hair combed over half the face, and real (or fake) cut marks on their arms. 95% of the people thrown into this class get off on creating drama around them, whileas in all reality their lives are not that bad. Typically "misunderstood" by anyone not in their clique (meaning the rest of civilized humanity), they often misconstrue themselves as aspiring geniuses, poets, artists, etc. see also delusions of grandeur for insight on the common emo's thought process. These people usually grow out of this stage by age 18 or 19, realizing that in all reality, the world does not give a fuck if your puppy died when you were 12...and it was the only real friend you had.
Emo: "my puppy died when i was 12, it was the only real friend that i ever had that understood me *cut cut*"
Common Person: "wow, you're...pathetic."

Get the Emomug. 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.

Get the emomug. Emo is a music sub-genre within rock that has been reduced to an over-populated fashion statement of a lack of identity and want of more meaning to a pathetic life.
Contrary to popular emo-lover belief, emo did not start in the late eighties with the band Rites of Spring. It stands for “emotive punk” or “emotional punk” (note; emotive and emotional mean the same thing), the true founders actually being Sunny Day Realestate and the like.
These bands were punk, but slowed their riffs and added some ‘meaningful’ lyrics, and actually tried to sing. If you listen to modern ‘emo’ it is more like fast riffs, lots of cymbal and lyrics drenched in gothic and depressing lyrics, popular spark words include; blood, heart, broken, my, I, you, love, pain, revenge, etc.
Emo did not start with depressed angsty teens living in suburbia, it was just punk guys that had a sensitive side, they wore t-shirts and blue denim like the average guy, much like a diluted of version of grunge. This was early nineties and the hard riffs and fast drums were actually degenerative bands of hardcore, an entirely different genre starting in late eighties mainly through Refused and associates in Europe, as well as Rites of Spring which were a lot more 'rocky' than original emo.
Nowadays there are no ‘true’ emo bands.
Another thing, about the fashion statement emo's or even emo bands; they usually deny that they are emo. If they do accept that they're emo (mainly emo bands) their lyrics will be terribly ironic, such as the famous line below by Taking Back Sunday - who aren't emo. More hardcore or even punk rock.

true example of emo music; Sunny Day Realestate.
example of ironic statements made by emo bands;
"literate and silent, kissable and quiet, that's what girls' dreams are made of... Those words were at best teenage poetry" - Timberwolves at New Jersey by Taking Back Sunday
