The kid in the back of your class burning things because it's funny. He cuts his own hair, wears really thick glasses with big big rims, isn't good at anything sports related, drives a car that was not made before 1986 and is worth less than $1,000, cries because he though he looked good and then looked in the mirror and saw it was the paper bag, also cries because he wont ever get laid, persicutes others for the types of music they listen to and is very very fragile inside that hard exterior.
Emo Kid: I hate everything except Matt Skeba.
Regular Kid: I hate you.
Emo Kid: I'm gunna go cry now. *Puts paper bag over head and cries*

One of a group of depressed teenagers claiming to be centered on the 'emotional' part of life, usually expressing this through crying, whining, self-mutalation and looking for emotion and love in relationships, rather then just trying ot 'get some'

another fucktarded label like "punk" or "goth", useful only for making fun of ppl. the stereotype emo kid is depressed regardless of his/her life situation, likes "emo" music, writes poems about killing him/herself, and is proud of self-mutilation.
"HAHAHA look at this poem the emo kid wrote about killing himself thats some funny shit dude"
"ur an insensitive prick"
"your point is?"

Emo is short for emotional.Not all "Emo people" are emotional but the stereotype lives on and people always seem to think that.Emo kids are often depressed and confide in self=harm to re-assure that they are living and not in a distant world from others.

A social classification that has been bastardized by scenesters, rich preps, and wannabe goths united. A true emo kid does not label him/herself as being "emo"...often this label is foisted on him or her against the alleged emo kid's will. True emo kids listen to whatever the hell music they feel like, and it is often poetic or expressive. Emo is not a clothing style, cutting your wrists, or being a frequent buyer at Hot Topic. Those who call themselves "emo" are most likely just trying to be "scene" and have really screwed up the genre through wearing generic, borderline gothic clothing that all their sad little friends wear.
FAKE EMO KID tries to be emo because it is "scene" at the moment. Is often rich and frequents expensive stores like Hot Topic to cultivate a flawless emo image. May go so far as to draw fake scars in strategic locations so as to look depressed and suicidal. Claims to listen to indie bands that no one else has heard...and neither has the fake emo kid.
TRUE EMO KID was most likely emo before this was a stupid fad. May shop at hot topic, but only if they actually like the clothing, not because they think it will make them look cool. Probably classified by friends and others as "emo"...the label is often not self-professed in the case of the true emo kid. Doesn't give a shit whether music is mainstream or not...it just has to be artistic.

The stereotype for a kid(13-19) who has a lower tolerance for sad emotions, and feels inadiquet of their own personal worth(feels like they arent good enough). Many emos feel so depressed that they resort to cutting to themselves. Emo boys often weird girls pants and dye their hair black, with a pyrimid spiked belt, and tight tee shirts(usualy black). It is known that emos have a kind of rule that 2/5 of their face must be covered by hair, although it is actualy a subconscious feeling of wanting to cover up their sadness(eyes).
