Essentially a group of individuals who were too wussy to become Goth and to lame to become punk, so they sat somewhere in the middle of the two and cried about it.

Get the emomug. Emo is an identification, usually used by suburban white teenagers. However, emo is a paradox that defies everything it supposedly stands for. An emo will tell you that they don't conform and remain individuals, but they all act the same, dress the same, have the same hairstyles, listen to the same music, etc. They conform within their own group, just like nearly all suburban teenagers.
Emos claim to be depressed and angry all of the time, but they are in fact fundamentally happy and joyous.
Emos say that they reject the values of the preppy kids, but still hold the core beliefs- denying those who do not conform, sleeping around, experimenting with drugs, and overall being suburban wannabes.
Anyone who identifies as an emo simply cannot be in practice- they are instead "wannabemos", somebody who strives to be an emo, but cannot.

Justin, Jessica, and Chrissy all claim to be emo. All three listen to My Chemical Romance, have hairstyles like the ones they see on Gaia Online, and contradict themselves.

Get the Emomug. emo has become an ever increasing style and one most "emo kids" are not emo they are just following the style and they are known as "scene". Now I don't label myself but i guess you could say i have clothes that can be classified as the emo fashion but an emo kid doesnt have to dress in the stereotypical skinny jeans band t and converse you can wear really anything...emo is a state of mind and a music style not all emos cut not all emos write poetry not all emos play instruments or sing not all emos do drugs and NOT ALL EMOS LIKE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE AND FALL OUT BOY please people get that thrrough your heads i hear that all the time and not all do like those two bands from what i know most emo kids like alternative metal rock techno emo death metal and things of those genres they understand people and music and the world and emo kids will inslut people who deserve insulting and normally do not consider themselves emo IF YOU DO MEET SOMEONE WHO PROCLAIMS THEY ARE EMO AND SHOWS OFF THEIR SCARS THERES A 9/10 CHANCE THEY ARE A POSER OR LOOKING FOR ATTENTION also not all emo kids are bi and gay but being bi is also the new fad so that is my definition oh and you can play sports and stuff and still be emo

Get the emomug. A word that has been tortured and mutiated by disgusting and repulsive bands like Blessthefall, Drop Dead Gorgeous, And Bring Me The Horizon.
Emo does not stand for some kid that cuts himself or dresses like a fag with black straightened hair and skinny jeans.
Emo originally started out as a genre of music where bands put passion and EMOtion into their pieces of art. Wait a sec? they put what? -emo-tion, EMOTION. that is what it stands for.
Emo stands for a genre of music where lyrics and music are emotional.
Bands like,
Snowing,
Algernon Cadwallader
and La Dispute.
Listen to them guys, they are good jams with alot of emotion into them.
So dont kill the word emo with your adolecent scene bullshit. BMTH sucks, plain and simple. Emo kids, arent "EMO" kids, they are just kids dressing like fags.
Emo = Emotional genre of music.

Get the Emomug. 1. A word describing a subgenre of emotional punk rock
2. A fashion categorized by dark, tight, more feminine and slightly nerdy clothing characterized by band shirts related to definition one, tight pants, scarfs, and thick rimmed glasses and sweater vests incorporated possibly due to Rivers Cuomo's clothing style.
3. I derogatory term used by insecure guys who think that showing your emotions or having a little wetness on your face automatically makes you menstruate daily and cram tampons up your ass.

Get the emomug. Yet another stupid counter-culture gone mainstream, participants appear to be descended from goths with a dash of "queer eye for the straight guy" thrown in, primarily composed of white 13-20 somethings from middle to upper class suburban backgrounds. Emo's listen to unimaginitive music and dress in tight clothing and ridiculously stupid hair styles. The cure for Emo is a stint in the army where they will get shipped off to the mountains of Afghanistan and discover that now they really do have something to feel bad about. Hopefully at this point an insurgent bullet removes their brain from its protective casing thus giving their lame friends back home something to write a crappy song about.
My life sucks, my parents are rich and buy me anything I want and our family is going to sight-see in Europe this summer, god, how lame, I think I'll comb my hair over my eyes and cut on myself a bit... How Emo
