Emo, an Emotional Teen from the ages 13 - 18. They love music, Dark or really bright colours like Black, hot pink, lime green, and red. Not all emo people cut them self’s! They can be really smart people that have better things to do then school. They mostly really go to school just to hang out with their other emo friends or they dont go because they dont have any friends. Emo is more the fashion and music then the cutting. Emo people can have Blonde, Black, Brown and red hair. Most Emo people have some kind of hair dye. I have Blonde and blue hair. Emo people are loving people. Most Emo people are emo because something bad has happened in their life. Thier are people out there who dress like Emos but act nothing like them, these people are called posers. Most people will look down at you for being emo. But people out there are fags so just ignore them. Most emos are shy around other people but are outgoing with their friends. Emo people hate being called Goth. Emo people hate preps.

Get the Emomug. Emotive Hardcore music/scene kids. EMO IS NOT GOTH. to clear this up: Goths are much more dark and want to kill everyone. Emos: Less dark and only want to kill selfs. NOW that that's cleared up, emo is NOT DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL! Emotive Hardcore music came in the 90's from D.C. Two of the most famous bands from that time period: Rites of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate. I highly recommend those ^_^. emo doesn't mean tight pants and tight skull shirts. It's a mindset.
Jared: Hey! Alexa! You've heard that emo band? Hawthorne Heights?
Alexa: DAMN IT, JARED! THAT'S NOT EMO!
Jared: Sheeeesh. Cool it. Then why do YOU have side bangs, genius!?
Alexa *fuming*: I have side bangs because i LIKE THEM. idiot...

Get the Emomug. Desensitised word that is used by any person who likes, or is affiliated with rap,or who enjoys crap music in generla. It is a term used to encompass any form of rock music in a derogatory way. Originally referring to a narrow genre of Emotive metal and hard rock, it was used by MTV and other music channels to describe a bunch of bands who dress a certain way. People who listen to a certain type of music BECAUSE of the way they dress(ie skinny jeans, tight shirts) can be described as Emos(note the diffence to dressing a certain way to reflect their music choice). Emo is now a style of dress more than anything. Emos can also be described as hissy cutters. Emo was originally a type of good ol' fashioned pioneer rock and metal. But now its a word that is thrown around and makes all true rocker cringe.
Rap Guy: man, you listen to system of a down and Alice Copper and stuff? What an Emo!
Rock Guy: Shut up you inferior being, you know nothing. May your children be consumed by a thousand hungry spiders.

Get the Emomug. Short for emotional-hardcore:
An 80's subgenre of hardcore punk which in itself is a genre of punk rock, used to define creative, angsty, and melodromatic bands that WERE PUNK, yet at the same time, to creative and knowing too many guitar chords to be classified as punk.
The term was invented by fans of Rites of Spring, a hardcore punk band looking to break out of the D.C. hardcore punk scene and create a unique sound.
Emotional-hardcore, often shortened to emocore, or emo, was very short lived, as were many of the bands in it.
After emo came indie, post-hardcore, screamo, and post-emo.
The term has been borrowed by asshole teenagers that constantly shop at Hot Topic, wear skinny jeans, black eye liner, and hear infront of their eyes, and listen to nothing but pop punk, metalcore, the pussified version of death metal, and post-hardcore.
How to identify emo:
-IF THE BAND IS NOT A PUNK BAND, THEN THEY ARE NOT AN EMO BAND.
-IF THE BAND USES GUTTURAL VOCALS, HAS A BREAKDOWN, OR HAS A DOUBLE BASS, THEY AREN'T EMO.
-IF THE LYRICS ARE "POETIC" PIECES OF CRAP ABOUT EX-GIRLFRIENDS, SUICIDE, OR SUICIDE, THEY AREN'T EMO.
-YOU ARE NOT EMO.
-IF THE BAND IS AROUND TODAY, AND IS INFLUENCED BY HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS, THEY ARE NOT EMO.
The Northern Eastern SCENE KID that wears nothing but black is somehow mistaken for emo, but is sadly, still scene kid.
