Get the Emo mug.A person who tries desperately to be a goth, fails miserably and cries about it. Usually writes feeble songs about death/rejection, has ruined eyeliner from crying and will whinge and whine incessantly about wanting to kill themselves but don't have the guts to go ahead and do it. Usual target for chavs, along with moshers, goths grungers etc
Emo Girl: I had an arguement with my mum today. I cried for hours afterwards. I was that close to picking up a razor and slitting my wrists...uh...You're not even listening are you? *crys*

Get the emo mug.a total joke; a form of amusement for people who are sane and relatively normal; yet another money making machine for MTV; an excuse for well to do kids with no real problems to sit around and complain about something;

Get the emo mug.Sheep, mainly people who are apparently "depressed" / "misunderstood" / "alone" etc. etc. so on and so forth some often try to self harm...but in the end most can't even cut themselves properly, they don't have a sense of individuality, thats why they are sheep, they just follow the trend because someone else is, and they are because someone else is, and the cycle continues, they listen to depressive music claiming to be "in touch with their emotions" but actually aren't, the male emo's are often thought to be gay, with long hair and feminine looking clothing, could be classed as a new species, and the female emo's ruin themselves with pointless random piercings...
Guy1 "That guy over there looks like a woman, he has long hair with a tight jumper and skin tight jeans"
Guy2 "I know, he's just an emo...he listens to depressive music and cuts himself while crying himself to sleep"
Guy1 "Oh right, lets take the piss outta him"

Get the emo mug.Either...
1.Someone who is very sensitive, therefore more easily upset than normal
You can't rarely tell if someone is emo or not, only close reletives or themselves, some emos are also easily angered, disgusted or depressed(which is where the myth about all emos being depressed came from.)
OR.
2.Someone who is so easily upset that they are always so, often wear drab clothes to express the fact that they are sad, though, contary to popular belief not usually goth clothes.
There should be another name for them, since nowdays, if someone hears the word 'emo' they instantly think of this definition.
