a Genre of music expressing emotions and feeling.

also - a lifestyle in which you listen to Emo music, dress in dark or very bright colored clothing, black hair (not always) skinny jeans , makeup, and sk8 shoes.

not all Emotional people cut themselfs or are sad all the time. there is not only "one" emotion, if there was then Emo would be called the word "sad" or "deppresies" emotions can be (happy, sad, angry) suprisingly 90% of Emos today are happy. so there really is no need to stereotype people because of the way they act. its probrably because there hurt inside. and they're deppresion is building up. and noone like a sad kid. (unless your an asshole) be kind to people!

"Wow, aren't you a little old to be emo?"

"I've been wearing heavy black eyeliner and spiky hair longer than you've been alive, and if you call me emo again I will stomp you into a grease spot on the pavement."

Music that describes Emo, might be The cure

ok ya emo is a type of music that is usually refered to as screamo... but the word emo has a different meaning..... to be emo means to cut ur self.... its not always on ur wrist... it could be anywhere on your body. if you think som1 is emo... talk to them DONT judge them.... usually somthing is going on and they have no one to talk to... so they cut... some cut because its a pain that they can see, feel, and control unlike the pain they r prolly feeling inside.

emo people will occasionally wear tight pants, black, scarfs ect. but not all. bottom line: DONT BE STERIOTIPICAL
Girl 1: hi... i noticed ur scars and how u always seemed depressed... do u wanna talk about it
Girl 2: no(she starts crying)
Girl 1: r u sure... c'mon... cutting is bad for you... its not going to solve anything... u need to talk to som1... u can start by talking to me
Girl 2: ok... ill tell u....

and she goes on with her story and girl 1 finnaly understands that all this emo girl needs is a friend

In music, a synonym for "unoriginal."
The band had some interesting arrangements, but their melodies were very "emo."

mo was originally a nickname for "emotive hardcore" (type of music), but has evolved into meaning "emotional" because it was misinterpreted, since fans of this music were ususally known for being a bunch of depressed-self-harming-teens with too much free time. It's all stereotypical. But this is what it's known for now. An emo person (like I said stereotypical) would be very depressed, hate the world, including themselves and probably cry all the time. They've even stereotyped and emo style. Usually "emo" kids dress in skinny jeans, dark colors (but not all black), band tee shirts, and chucks. But, like I said about 5 or so times. IT'S ALL STEREOTYPICAL!!! And it did originally mean "emotive hardcore". (and if some one dresses like that it doesn't mean they're gonna go suicidal!)
an Emo thought "the world hates me im gonna cry and cut myself"
