depressed person, usually teenagers who hate their lives, write fucked up poetry, and complain about how their life sucks. most emo's are posers, but there are some genuinely depressed people out there. EMO is a variation of GOTH and QUEER.

Get the Emo mug.People who need to get a life and dont usually have any real problems. the style originates from music. the thing about emo people is that they have a problem with preps dressing the same and buying expensive clothes, when they do the same thing dressing in black and buying pants that r like 40 $ when the look extreamly ugly.

Get the emo mug.A subculture common to kids born post 1987 who want to identify as a 'punk' but have little knowledge of the origins of the word 'punk'. More than likely they grew up listening to other soft music like the Backstreet Boys and Christina Aguilera, but realised when they reached high school that this was no longer cool. So they start listening to bands like My Chemical Romance and Panic at the Disco or Jared Leto's band because they feel morose and suicidal and that their lives are not worth living. They then start dying their hair black and wearing 1990's punk clothing (skate shoes, heavy chain belts etc) usually consisting of black, red or white. They see themselves as being 'goths' because boys apply eye makeup reminiscent of Robert Smith from the Cure, but highly unlikely whether they actually know who this is. They believe they are being 'alternative' and 'edgy' however they are overwhelmingly conformist as they all look the same, dress the same and listen to extremely soft core, pansy, fluffy pop music disguised as 'punk'.
"My son is trying to look like Jared Leto, wearing makeup and listening to Fall Out Boy all the time, I think he's become an emo!"

Get the Emo mug.1. A new-age style of music developed by musicians such as Emmanuel from Emo Dagher who incorporate powerful emotion into lyrics with uplifting music accompanying. This could also be called 'soulful music' as the overall tone is relatively positive.
2. A dark genre of music that combines varied rock music type instrumentation with often depressed, depressing or downright whiney lyrics. This is in a way punk music gone bad due to a combination of depression, low self esteem and people apparently wanting to feel more depressed thanks to the singer whining about their problems. This could also be due to wanting to relate with it, but in the end it only turns a grim mind state into a rather generic lifestyle.
3. The people who walk around dressed in gothic/punkish clothing who constantly act depressed and/or monotone due to several reasons, usually including lack of attention from both peers and family, not wanting to get over their problems, and a dominating 'victim' mindset which usually causes them to falsely believe they can't do anything about their problems. This is obviously a foolish choice on the part of the individual but stupid and/or brainwashed people seem to enjoy not enjoying themselves, so in this writer's opinion, let 'em whine, just make sure they do it somewhere else.
4. An attempt to get 'friends' made most often by people who have none. In such cases as this the individual gives up their individuality for sake of conforming entirely to what these 'friends' say is right to be accepted. In reality these are not the person's friends as they are apparently very superficial and in some amusing cases, these same people can walk around whining about how others conform.
