Someone who listens to rock/punk/alternative/emo music, which includes bands like Fall out boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the disco, three days grace and Green day. Emos normally express themselves through the way they dress E.g: Band t-shirts, skinny jeans, meanies, converses and dark clothing.
Some emo stereotypes are: being un-sociable, being dramatic, being suicidal, being depressed and sad.
However, these are STEREOTYPES and do not apply to all Emos.

Get the Emomug. What people think it is: self harm, depression and everything is black
What it actually is: spinning around to your favorite song from My Chemical Romance, Green Day, or Taking Back Sunday till you fall over exhausted and ponder what you're doing with your life. You wear mostly dark colours, (not necessarily black), listen to emo, screamo, or punk bands. You don't have to cut either. If an emo does, that's for a completely different reason (unless they are a fake wannabe emo). They are like everyone else but they like their music to have meaning and they pay attention the darker sides of things, not just the ideal sides.

Yes, I'm an emo, but that doesn't make me any different than the next person. Maybe just a little bit darker.

Get the Emomug. A subculture in which you can see people wearing lots of black, ripped clothing with black hair, eyeliner, and piercings. They do not seem to care what other people think a lot of the time and wear lots of dark clothing. They generally have an aura of depressiveness and/or angst about them and can be antisocial all of the time or sometimes because of their nature or personal experiences in their past. Emo music is generally music that has an underlying message of hating oneself, or hating what they have become or talking about death, self harm, or other forms of pain. It is typically a bit softer than hard rock, but more hardcore than pop or easy listening rock. Emos also typically self harm themselves, mainly because they are of the mindset that they hate themselves. Obviously not every emo self harms, and not every emo self harms for that reason, but it is very common.
An emo should NOT be mistaken as the same thing as a goth. Goths wear lots of vampirical dress, and are generally more interested in the evil, satanic sort of thing. Emos are upset at themselves or the world and are closed off, they aren't necessarily unfriendly though, lots of emos I know are very nice, but they are typically not the type to be all outgoing and bubbly.

I'm an emo, I wear thick eyeliner and I cry alone in my room everyday, and if you have a problem with me then leave because I have been through enough hell to deal with you.

Get the Emomug. Being emo doesn't mean being depressed, suicidal or hating the world. It just means that you're more passionate than most other people. The word itself comes from the word 'emotional' and is used to describe someone who feels more passionately than most other people do. All of us are emo at least some of the time.
Wow, that kids really emo. He got really upset over nothing.
I love that emo kid's poetry, its so passionate and deep.

Get the Emomug. While little known, 'emo' is short for emotional. One can be emo, while portraying /any/ emotion, though the word is usually not used to represent any other emotion than sadness; agony; mental pain.
This word generally comes with a negative connotation, especially when someone is labeled it by outstanding parties, rather than claiming it for his or her self.
A harsh definition of an emo person is someone who cuts his or her body, out of desperation. While people do this on occasion, most of them are likely only looking for attention in the form of scars marking up their bodies. A truly emo person would not want anyone to know about his or her negative thoughts.
One who claims to be emo likely listens to music that portrays these dark emotions through its lyrics and sometimes instrumentation.
'Emo' can also be used to describe this type of music. An example of an emo, or emo-influenced, band is Hawthorne Heights.
