morons who express their emotions too much, are too poor for real Goth Clothing and make-up, and listen to crappy music.
excessive doses of Emo will lead to permenant depression, your hair turning white from too much hair color, your soul burning away, starvation and suicide

Get the Emo mug.A "person", usually in their early teens, who think that the fact that their parents refuse to buy them a Corvette is the end of the world, and therefore their life is spiraling down a large black hole of deceit and sorrow. The want to express their individuality, but really they are just expressing the individuality of a large group, pretty much making them the very conformists they think they are fighting. Ironic.
So an emo kid tried insulting me today. When I pointed out that he automatically loses any argument he enters due to the fact that he's emo, he ran away crying. Go figure...

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.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.

What Emo Is And Some History.
Emo is short for emotive hardcore. It's a DIY music style (not a shitty fashion) that started in the 80's. Emo follows (but is not restricted to) the lines of hardcore. Hardcore is a subgenre of punk, therefore, so is emo. The first emo band is often credited to Rites Of Spring. They played with hardcore punk rock energy (as the members were previously involved with hardcore bands) and lots of emotion through their performance and with their audience. Their lyrics seem to have important views about life and a sense of deepness.
"Emo" As A Term.
The term "emo" was generated as an insult to people in the hardcore scene that liked these bands. An emo band's performance on stage (can include crying/moaning/etc. their lyrics and various other events) probably made them look "weaker" to the hardcore kids, which is (why I think) "emo" was directed as an insult.
What Screamo is.
Screamo has evolved from emo. This music style invloves more screaming and often has more melodic breakdowns. Screamo is still emo, therefore follows its guidelines.
What Emo Is Not.
Emo is not short for emotional. Emo is not a fashion. Emo is not "XxXxXxXOMMMFFGZZZZ IM LYKE, SO DEPRESSED!XxXxX!!!1!!111 IM GONNA SLIT MY WRISTZZZZZZZ...LOL..XxXxXxX" Emo was not mainstream (because it was DIY). Emo has nothing to do with being depressed, shitty metaphors, or suicide. Emo is not whiney, bullshit music sung by pubescent males that haven't dropped their balls yet.
