A word whose definition has been so butchered by so many people that most people just make up their own definition of the stereotype, which is usually complete bullshit. If ANYONE wants to know the REAL, ORIGINAL definition of the word, here it is (otherwise, fuck off): a genre of music which branched off of 80's punk music to create a soft, unique form of rock. NOT to be confused with punk, metal, screamo, or alternative rock. NOT to be confused with angsty teens, boys who wear tight pants, people who are depressed, cutters, goths, or a combination of all six. I know lots of people will disagree, but I KNOW I'm right.XD (Yes, I already know that I'm a stuck-up bitch who thinks she's always right, so don't even bother telling me something I already know)

Get the Emomug. A relatively new form of douchebaggish behavior (sometimes, a complete lifestyle) where usually well off teens ignore the fact that they can be an individual without having to look stupid to get attention. The "look" can involve multi colored scarfs which don't match a damn other article of clothing worn, even leg warmers have been seen, multiple piercing's seem to be a must, the ever enlarging earlobe hoops which can get so big you can stick an erect penis in them, dyed hair of any color, and once again, it won't even match the scarf, and it's only part or parts of the hair, usually the front or top. Then the hair is cut in different ways, almost always it is combed to an angle across the face, sometimes covering an eye. Goofy glasses, men with makeup, women without, lots of black outfits, wristbands that actually may match the scarf, but seriously doubt it.
Kid to parent- "hey, look at that person with the green hair, and why are they wearing winter clothes, it's July?"
Parent to kid- "Remember when you asked me what emo was?"

Get the Emomug. It can mean a lot of different things as you can see. My definition of "Emo" is someone who is Emotional. What i mean by this is one person (guy or girl) being overly emotional over one thing. It can be overly happy or overly mad and the most common one is overly sad. I must add that not all Emo's cut! In fact this is commonly confused with depression or suicidal thoughts. Some may because its the stereo type or because they have depression but also act this way. In fact Emo has become confused by so many things.
That girl/guy is overly emo about getting an A on the test.
The women was emo when her husband was put in jail for a crime he didnt commit.
I was emo over a break up.
