In this day and age, "emo" is now the definition for numerous things such as the way someone dresses; certain genres of music; the way people act; a mood and also someone who feels the need to self harm.
Emo originally derrived from the sub-genre of punk known as hardcore punk in the late 80s and lived on from there.
"Emo" music as it is commonly called, is typically music filled with long high pitched screams, continous off beats, a guitar riff that is usually on 3 string and at one side of guitar. And all of this for the Teenagers who want to be someone they are not and want attention from their peers as they believe their life is far harder than anyone elses and that no one understands them or how hard their life is.

Emo is someone who is too skinny, poses and listens to other peoples music about how "bad" their lives are.

Get the Emo mug.a small, spineless, ratite teenager, Emo (Dramaticus) cuttingaeskinaeforattentionae, of America, resembling the goth but smaller and having comparatively no spine, neck, or testicles.
the emo was first sighted in the early-1980s in Washington D.C, but was put on the endangered list in the late-1980s. in the 1990s, the emo made a comeback, before once again returning underground. In the mid-2000s, the first emos returned from underground, in their present day form.

Get the emo mug.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!)

Get the Emo mug.a rare species amidst a world of gangstas (aha, jk); emo- its a crappy stereotype and another way to call someone a cutter. the stereotype= sad depressed 'scene'(another stereotype) styled person who cries all the time and hates life and cuts/burns/whatever form of self inflicted abuse themselves. --> basically somebodies ignorant butt left their imagination stray while thinking of 'scene kids' and added a twist. (twist being that emo kids hurt themselves)
saying, "i hate my life, nobody loves me, i'm all alone in this world. diary and ipod, you're my best friends." is something that would get you carted into the stereotype of emo.

Get the Emo mug.emo is well, many things from many different points a view so thing they are just "fags" who dress weird. some look at the root of the word emo emotive hardcore/emocore, a type pf music. some branch off from the root of the word emo, they see it as a way to dress which came from the "emo" bands and their fans way of dressing. their there are those who see it as people who cut themselves or hurt themselves in some way. then there the people on the other side of this, the people who preform the music, dress in tight clothing and band t-shirts, and the people with emotional problem of some sort. the band just are taking advantage of the new emo crowds growth. the people who dress emo see it as fashion or a way to express themselves. the people with emotional problems vary widely from have a self esteem issues depression personality disorders excreta. these are often caused by people judge them in some way, no matter how lard the judgment was.
