stupid spoilt rich kids who like to cry and cut themselves over "how hard life is". have stupid hair, usually dyed black. most of them say they are bi because they think its cool, not because they are. they listen to crappy bands such as my chemical romance, the used etc. guys wear girls skinny jeans because "theyre tighter". they have at least 1,000 myspace friends because they dont have any in real life. they can overlap with scene kids. some emos used to be chavs or preps until emo became fashionable, then they decided they wanted to be in and became emo.

a term coined to describe the emotional (there is a rare misconception that "emo" is an abbreviation of UNemotional) or "angsty" subculture of the teenager; "emo" is generally associated with dark clothing, dark make-up, dark, heavily rimmed glasses, chucks, images of depression such as cutting and sometimes anorexia (due to the fact that emo is also associated with tight clothing), and certain hairstyles (typically long, sideswept, as in diagonal, bangs that tend to obscure the eye(s)); the emo philosophy combines a certain existentialism and classic tragedy and expresses these ideals through a genre of music
Happy child: Dude, what is emo?
Emo child: Emo is a philosophy of life that takes the idea that life has no meaning, and does it in such a way to incorporate the melodrama inspired by Greek tragedy.
Happy child: Dude ...
Emo child: What?
Happy child: Don't try to justify it. It's still moronic. Go cut your hair.
Emo child: You're just jealous because I'm skinnier than you are.
Happy child: That's what you think.
Emo child: =O

A type of style that consists of hair (typically dyed black, dark brown, or bleach blonde) that covers the side of ones face, tight skinny jeans, body piercings or modifications, and eyeliner. Emo's follow bands such as Hawthrone Heights, Panic at the Disco, Paramore ect. Emo is not to be confused with depression as many emo's are not depressed and just like the style.
