Elder Emo

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.

Emo

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*

Emo

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.

Emo

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.

Emo

A label which is used to stereotype people who wear lots of black eyeliner, listen to 'emo' music, don't talk much to other people, and have haircuts that include bangs that's in their faces.

Although the term emo can be described in many ways, this is often the case in which people use. The term emo comes from the word emotional.
The girl in the back of the room was wearing make-up that made her look like a raccoon. A kid walked up to her and said, "What's up emo kid?"
