An emo kid from the early- to mid-2000s who is now in their 30s and 40s but still loves the genre, listens nostalgically the old bands, and waits for the emo wave to come back. Elder Emos have jobs and family responsibilities but still wear band shirts and skinny jeans on the weekends. At their best, they joyfully encourage and promote the next generation of emo rockers. At their worst they hold onto the past and fall into despair while lamenting how the new music “just isn’t as good.”
Person 1: I just found my iPod Nano from 2007. Want to listen to some Circa Survive?
Person 2: Ah, I see you’re an Elder Emo.

Get the Elder Emo mug.Angst-ridden hormonal teenagers who cannot control their moodswings.
They typically like to 'express themselves' with black skinny jeans, black ripped band tshirts, black eye makeup, black whatever...
There is not much expression to be made, however, as half of all decent, middle-class kids from the South of England are dressing exactly the same.

A well-off, well-adjusted, perfectly happy teen will throw themselves into a frenzy of dodgy rock music, tight clothing and wannabe guitar riffs in order to show how hard their small insignificant lives really are and prove to their friends how 'emo' they are.

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.Generaly a person who dresses in all dark clothing and whines about everything.
These people whine how their parents hate them, and are just there to torment them, when their parents actually spoil them rotten.

Timmy: Oh look! It's Dave! But, why is he sitting in that corner in all black with a stupid hair cut whining about how his parents hate him?
Richard: Oh, it does seem he has gone emo for no reason. It seems we have lost another friend.

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.

Get the emo mug.A music style and subculture derived from "punk"
Often involves high vocals, acoustic guitar and emotional lyrics
An example of a mainstream emo band is Taking Back Sunday
Often, all the stereotypes that have something in common with Emo are lumped in with it, including Goth, Punk and Scene
The subculture often includes a specific fashion, including tight jeans, band T-shirts, and side-sweeping bangs.
Emo is probably the most often ridiculed "Highschool Stereotype"
