1. Fake Emo: see Female Emo Poser, Male Emo Poser, Fake Emo. They like to wear black and say they hate themselves and no one understands and wear thick eyeliner and have black hair all over their face. They pierce themselves and they cry and they think they are artists and everyone who is not emo cannot express themselves, and is just a cookie cutter of every other human being that fake emos used to be. They are not actually emo, but they take typical bad situations and turn it into "My Life Sucks, Can I Kill Myself Already?" although you know they never will.
2. Real Emo: These people probably appear very happy on the outside, not wearing black all the time with thick heavy eyeliner. Most real emos, although not all, suffer from an unfortunate psychological problem like depression. One minute they can be the happiest person, and the next, crying hysterically and wanting to commit suicide. The fact that people throw around the term 'emo' is very upsetting, because REAL people with REAL problems like Megan Meier (look up Megan Pledge on Google Search) can't help themselves and need love and care.
Emo isn't a word to describe these people, but because of today's idiocy, you can't get someone to just treat them regularly, but treat them as 'emo', which I doubt can help them at all. The real definition of emo should stay as it should- someone who is just following a stupid trend.
3. Emo music.

Fake Emo
Hale: Oh my god. I want to cut myself up. I hate me. No one understands. Your all so normal and bland and copy+paste people and you don't understand me or my art I wanna kill myself!
Real 'Emo' Although That Really Shouldn't Be Their Term
Gretta: I'm going to hang out with Jessica. Wanna come with me?
Britanny: No way am I going to hang out with some stupid, fat emo like you. God. I hope you just go kill yourself, your such a loser!
Jessica: Don't listen to her, Gretta, everyone knows she's just a bitch.
Gretta: *sobbing* Why am I so stupid?

Emo is short for emotive hardcore: a sub-genre of punk that came about in the 1980s. Since the eighties, the meaning has changed a lot.
Many think that emo is just a fashion. It is true that emos have developed their own fashion - skinny/girl's jeans, tight fitting black t-shirts, make-up, and even a hair-style consisting of a long fringe sweeping over one eye and spiky at the back - but this is not what emo is about.
I see emo as a state of mind. Emotional would actually be a good term, as emos are quite emotional, their mood swinging all over the place. This makes it easier to become depressed. EMOS ARE NOT ALWAYS DEPRESSED.
---some say that all emos cut their wrists. This is FAR from the truth. I will not go into why some do. I have never cut my wrist and I don't want to.----
Emos find roots in both goth and punk culture. It is like goth, but goth is darker, and emo is harder to fake. It is a fashion, a type of music, a state of mind and a way of life.
Opposite: Chav
Similar: Goth

Fake emo (poser): Emos are cool. I'm an emo. I don't think this make-up is dark enough, do I look emo enough?
Real emo: I don't think I can live life much longer... (after five minutes) Woo this is great. Life rocks. (gets to school) Oh gawd, I wanna go home. *gets home* Oh, I wanna go to school.

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.

emo (non-offensive, non-stereotype, light-hearted, silly, OCD-like, ADD-like)
(Adjective) In a state of mind where insignificant things become overly concerned or concerning.
(Noun) One who is in a state of mind where insignificant things become overly concerned or concerning.

I am so emo. In other words, I am in a state of mind where I have become overly concerned about things that can be insignificant.
Being emo can lead to certain lifestyles, habits, emotions, and persona; not the other way around.
It is possible that external factors can feed an emo state such as being alone too long may cause someone who has been known to be emo before go to that state again.
I can be emo and realize that I am emo as someone with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) can acknowledge they have OCD.
I know I'm being emo; perhaps I need to get out more often to get my mind off things.
There are different levels of an emo state; overall they are not serious or life threatening; in fact it can be a light-hearted situation.
You're so emo; snap out of it!
You're so emo; cute!
People often confuse emo with depression- emo state is a light-hearted situation that can lead to depression-like symptoms but are temporary and non-serious, depression is a serious situation.

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.
