a person who hates themself aand does harm to their bodies to make up for it. Or someone who dresses scary and weird. Also someone who needs attention so much they say they hate labling when they actually label themselves. Someone with low self esteem so they pick on others who dont deserve it to make up for it. Lastly theyre usually very pale and ugly.
Ew Katie is such an emo.

Get the emo mug.A person who usually acts depressed, dresses in very tight clothing (i.e, if male retro Vans skate shoes and sometimes womens jeans), listens to indie music, and in quite a few cases has life very good and just looks for something to be depressed about, but usually has no reason to be (or usually just act) depressed. They also usually have hair over one side of their face (see "AFI").

Get the emo mug.They follow trends.
A dead cat, girl's clothes, makeup, over-emotional is what they think is unique. But what us normal people call pathetic.
They make a big thing of nothing when they are "lonely" and an overwhelming tendancy to like the same sex, and wonder why they get turned down and get "hurt".
Thus, they are sheep.

Get the emo mug.Emo is a music sub-genre within rock that has been reduced to an over-populated fashion statement of a lack of identity and want of more meaning to a pathetic life.
Contrary to popular emo-lover belief, emo did not start in the late eighties with the band Rites of Spring. It stands for “emotive punk” or “emotional punk” (note; emotive and emotional mean the same thing), the true founders actually being Sunny Day Realestate and the like.
These bands were punk, but slowed their riffs and added some ‘meaningful’ lyrics, and actually tried to sing. If you listen to modern ‘emo’ it is more like fast riffs, lots of cymbal and lyrics drenched in gothic and depressing lyrics, popular spark words include; blood, heart, broken, my, I, you, love, pain, revenge, etc.
Emo did not start with depressed angsty teens living in suburbia, it was just punk guys that had a sensitive side, they wore t-shirts and blue denim like the average guy, much like a diluted of version of grunge. This was early nineties and the hard riffs and fast drums were actually degenerative bands of hardcore, an entirely different genre starting in late eighties mainly through Refused and associates in Europe, as well as Rites of Spring which were a lot more 'rocky' than original emo.
Nowadays there are no ‘true’ emo bands.
Another thing, about the fashion statement emo's or even emo bands; they usually deny that they are emo. If they do accept that they're emo (mainly emo bands) their lyrics will be terribly ironic, such as the famous line below by Taking Back Sunday - who aren't emo. More hardcore or even punk rock.

true example of emo music; Sunny Day Realestate.
example of ironic statements made by emo bands;
"literate and silent, kissable and quiet, that's what girls' dreams are made of... Those words were at best teenage poetry" - Timberwolves at New Jersey by Taking Back Sunday
