A subculture which started out as a music genre with influences from the punk/alternative scene of Washington D.C. in the late 1980s. In recent years, it has expanded to become an entire subculture. Originally, followers of the emo subculture were kids who didn't fit into the mainstream and considered themselves to be non-conformists. Sadly, however, the emo label has become so popular that nowadays most emos are kids who grew up living life exactly the same as every other fucking kid, and now they have decided to go emo, simply because it is what every other kid is doing. However, some emo kids are those who turned emo before it became the mainstream, and these are the true non-conformists.
True non-conformist free-thinking emo kid: Oh, look, you're reading trainspotting! I love Irvine Welsh!
Mindless conformist 'emo' kid: What the fuck you faggot. Reading's for gays and pussies. Go watch wrestling like evryone else.

Get the emomug. Metrosexual individual who hangs around Michael's store to buy arts and crafts to show they are in touch with their emotions and creative side to the opposite sex.

non-emo Joe: Oh, I'm probably going to make dinner.
Matt: Why not go to Michaels, we can make a craft and then maybe cut ourselves.
Joe: No thanks man.

Get the emomug. First off I would like to say emo is not emotional... it's something like emoite or something like that... a genre of music NOT like goth or sad or pansy stuff But, since the word has now come to mean that I will define the NEW term.
Emo is an adjective meaning goth but much less cool and more unnecessary hatefulness to yourself.
Ways to be emo:
1. Have an awesome life but make it seem like it sucks just so you can make people feel sorry for you.
(sadly the next one is how my idiot of a friend got turne)
2. Even though they know there life is great said to themselves one day,
"Emo is so cool! I wanna do it to!"
And thus the cycle begins....
3. Actually have a sucky life but are to much of a pansy to do anything about it.
4. Just love hurting them selfs because they're retarded.
Once they start it happens like this,
First they just wallowing in self pity until they finally brake and throw a sissy fit saying "You don't know anything about me or my bad life!"
Cry. (pansy)
Cut. (because there idiots... {non-wannabe: to mask the pain of there life with real pain})
finally at some point in there life {before they graduate collage) They either kill them selfs or realize how stupid they look and change there ways...

Get the emomug. People who cry and cut themselves alot. Gay little boys with girl pants and tight shirts. Basically people who are extremely over-emotional and usually very immature. They listen to Hawthorne Heights and My Chemical Romance. All in all, they are stupid people.
Boy: "Like, OH MAH GOD, my mom got mad at me for not putting the laundry away! Isn't that just the worst?!"
Girl: "I can't beleive it! Let's go cry together while we have sex!"
Boy: "Oh man I wish I could but my tight girl pants gave me a man-gina!"
Girl: "I hate you now!" *cries uncontrollably*
Boy: "Aaaaaaaah, noooooo, I've ruined my life! I hate myself!!!" *Cuts himself*
Girl: "Oh no, you're bleeding!"
Boy: "I know, I got sad and cut myself."
Girl: "That's so emo! I can't beleive you! I hate emo!" *commits suicide*
Boy: "Holy shit!" *cries and writes bad poetry*
Girl: "I can't beleive it! Let's go cry together while we have sex!"

Get the EMOmug. seeing as there is much bullshit around about emo being angst ridden teens and melodramitc singers whining about relationships. Yet i have many emo Cds that have only 1 relationship song. Emo means emotive hardcore, not emotional. Its a genre of music, not a style. When kids call themselves emo. yes it is fake, and they are following a trend. But the music itself can also by called Post-hardcore. Emo music is ebout emotion
but every song in the world has an emotion.
Emo does it in a harder kind of way opposing the crappy sound of rap and bubblegum pop

B: someone who whines about something that is not tragic nor interesting
C: a "look" that involves pretending to look thoughtful and interesting by putting hair in the face and tilting the head down.

I have messy long hair, listen to rock music with feelings, and complain about my young middle-class life, therefore I am emo.
