Emo - Girl pants, cotton sweater, itchy scarf, converse. long black hair covering the face. Sad attitude, wrist slitter.
Punk - Tight jeans, leather jacket/denim jacket, studs, Black Boots. Multi colored hair, Liberty spikes, Mohawk, etc. Never sad, always happy, always partying.

Get the Emo mug.Emo is just a word. It loosely describes a group of people that are inspired by music, have an alternative dress sense but cannot be called Goths or Punks. Emo is a new sub-culture of fashion and being that draws influence from predecessors' best bits whilst retaining its individuality. Usually it's only parents that mistake an 'Emu' for a Goth.
Emos are similar to punks in that they are not apologetic about dressing differently, although you're probably less likely to get headbutted for offending one. One aspect of Emo culture is the friendships between them and the way they appreciate one other. Whilst some peer groups condemn someone for daring to change or look different. Emo can be casual but bright; with contrasting colours and prints like a Nu-Punk Contrast, or can be darker, smarter and more sophisticated but with an elaborate edge.
The people involved in it didn't wake up one morning and think 'I want to be an Emo'. Emo isn't any particular fashion trend; it can be everything and nothing - its an attitude.
Taking risks isn't without its risks though, obviously, Emos are marked as targets of abuse for being different. Some people have to stereo-type things to understand them, others want to bring it down to its base level and others want to destroy what is different.

Stereotypical Emo - A person who wears skinny jeans, different shirts, and usually have black hair that is swept-ed across the face, or hair that covers or hovers over one of the eye.

Get the Emo mug.The most commonly misconceived word in popular culture. Often used by Middle-School aged kids to insult their peers who listen to rock music.
Emo is, in reality, a subgenre of 80s hardcore punk, created by bands like Fugazi, Rites of Spring and Embrace. Later, in the early 90s, it was furthered by bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker.
Pop-Rock bands commonly mistaken for "Emo"
My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy
Jimmy Eat World

Get the Emo mug.Alright let me get this straight for all you self-rightious jerks who think you know what I am when you really don't.
EMOS ARE NOT ALWAY DEPRESSED! I am emo (and so are most of my freinds) and we are always happy and having fun.
EMOS DO NOT ALL HATE THEIR LIVES! I happen to like my life and for those few that actually do hate them you insensitive preps should leave them alone
NOT ALL EMOS CUT THEMSELVES! That is but a steryo type. Although some might cut, you don't have to cut to be emo and you don't have to be emo to cut. You don't know what people go through and cutting is a way to forget the pain so don't tease them for it
The true definition of emo (in my opinion) is someone who is different. Who stands out in the crowd because they are truely amazing and others are just to obcessed with fitting in and being popular. Emo is someone who has an awesome sense of style without shopping at A&E or other name brands (except maybe hot topic) and who wear alot of (but not all) black becuase it goes well with neon colors. It is some one who doesn't fit in and doesn't want to becuase popular people are people like you who steryotype and call us stupid when they don't even know us.
Most of all, Emo is someone who puts up with all the crap the "in crowd" gives us and yet we still want to be oursevles: completely insane and epic! :)

Get the Emo mug.Just because of the clothes or music one listens to..it makes them 'emo'. And for many years popular teenagers think 'emo' is short for emotional which isn't true. Teenagers and immature adults, basically 80% of people think being 'emo' is for attention. If that's the case; teenage girls wearing today's fashion will make them sluts as many of them dress like a tiger fucking attacked them. Most Emo's listen to pop punk, punk rock, or hardcore. They hate chavs and basically people trying to be tinie tempah or something i dont know.
A lot of Emo's listen to All Time Low Sleeping With Sirens You Me At Six. And nearly all teenage girls listen to those bands thinking they're cool and emo and different. No.
Emo's are known to have piercings (nose, lip, eyebrow) and adult Emo's will have tattoos too. Oh, and most people listen to pop punk so all of you must be fucking emo. Emo's sometimes wear black and colourful, stripy, different clothes. Not to be attention seekers but just because they like qwerky things and they don't want to be basic bitches like most of the population.
Oh and can i add that a Goth is someone who likes heavy metal and they basically hate everyone and they want to kill everyone and blood is the only thing that makes them happy.

I'm friends with Emo's and honestly they are the most happiest, funniest people in the world. People label Emo's as depressed and say Emo's self harm when my friends dont..a lot of emo's dont. They just want to be different. If this world wasn't so judgmental maybe chavs, goths, emo's even fucking ghetto kids will get along. But no, you're all judgmental and you judge everyone. Does it matter what colour your hair is, your weight, what you believe in. In fact, you should only judge a person if they worship Satan or something. Like why would you even look up this word? Just because you're poor pitiless life consists of taking the piss out of others? You're all fucking beautiful, ok? It doesn't matter who you are, what music you listen to, what style of clothing you like, you're still human. And judging someone for who they believe in and what they believe in in face inhumane.

Get the Emo mug.Used to refer to the breed of teen who listened to(and "related to") soft punk music, dyed their hair black, made a habit of inflicting pain to themself (such as the sliting of the wrists), wear black stovepipes that are too small, dress entirly in black, and act overly moody/unloved;
Now its been so overused that anyone who has the slightest fringe, listens to any type of rock music often, or wears any one piece of black clothing is stamped with title emo.
You don't realy even need to be over emotional as the name suggests or listen to the music (which in most peoples opinion are the two main emo propeties) anymore to earn the title.

1.) "You're an emo cos if those jeans were black they'd be emo jeans."
2.) Jim: "Have you heard the new blink 182 song?"
Bob: "Omg, i didnt know you turned emo."
3.) "You're such an emo, why did you get a fringe?"
