stupid spoilt rich kids who like to cry and cut themselves over "how hard life is". have stupid hair, usually dyed black. most of them say they are bi because they think its cool, not because they are. they listen to crappy bands such as my chemical romance, the used etc. guys wear girls skinny jeans because "theyre tighter". they have at least 1,000 myspace friends because they dont have any in real life. they can overlap with scene kids. some emos used to be chavs or preps until emo became fashionable, then they decided they wanted to be in and became emo.
emo kid 1: omg my life sucks my girlfriend just broke up with me *cries*
emo kid 2:aww lets go listen to some mcr while we cut ourselves

Get the emo mug.-usually black hair
- Long hair (boys)
- Short hair (girls)
- Quite often "bi"
- Heavy eyeliner ( or guyliner)
- Listens to sad music
- crys a lot
Emo has many different meanings. Somepeople say its a style, others say its the music, but emo stands for emotionally disturbed.
Probably, somthing has happened in their life and they cant bear it, so they cut them selves.

Get the Emo mug.Desensitised word that is used by any person who likes, or is affiliated with rap,or who enjoys crap music in generla. It is a term used to encompass any form of rock music in a derogatory way. Originally referring to a narrow genre of Emotive metal and hard rock, it was used by MTV and other music channels to describe a bunch of bands who dress a certain way. People who listen to a certain type of music BECAUSE of the way they dress(ie skinny jeans, tight shirts) can be described as Emos(note the diffence to dressing a certain way to reflect their music choice). Emo is now a style of dress more than anything. Emos can also be described as hissy cutters. Emo was originally a type of good ol' fashioned pioneer rock and metal. But now its a word that is thrown around and makes all true rocker cringe.
Rap Guy: man, you listen to system of a down and Alice Copper and stuff? What an Emo!
Rock Guy: Shut up you inferior being, you know nothing. May your children be consumed by a thousand hungry spiders.

Get the Emo mug.Short for emotional-hardcore:
An 80's subgenre of hardcore punk which in itself is a genre of punk rock, used to define creative, angsty, and melodromatic bands that WERE PUNK, yet at the same time, to creative and knowing too many guitar chords to be classified as punk.
The term was invented by fans of Rites of Spring, a hardcore punk band looking to break out of the D.C. hardcore punk scene and create a unique sound.
Emotional-hardcore, often shortened to emocore, or emo, was very short lived, as were many of the bands in it.
After emo came indie, post-hardcore, screamo, and post-emo.
The term has been borrowed by asshole teenagers that constantly shop at Hot Topic, wear skinny jeans, black eye liner, and hear infront of their eyes, and listen to nothing but pop punk, metalcore, the pussified version of death metal, and post-hardcore.
How to identify emo:
-IF THE BAND IS NOT A PUNK BAND, THEN THEY ARE NOT AN EMO BAND.
-IF THE BAND USES GUTTURAL VOCALS, HAS A BREAKDOWN, OR HAS A DOUBLE BASS, THEY AREN'T EMO.
-IF THE LYRICS ARE "POETIC" PIECES OF CRAP ABOUT EX-GIRLFRIENDS, SUICIDE, OR SUICIDE, THEY AREN'T EMO.
-YOU ARE NOT EMO.
-IF THE BAND IS AROUND TODAY, AND IS INFLUENCED BY HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS, THEY ARE NOT EMO.
The Northern Eastern SCENE KID that wears nothing but black is somehow mistaken for emo, but is sadly, still scene kid.
