Emo has nothing to do with cutting, depression, or black actually. I mean, yes, many emos have that aesthetic but it isn't part of the definition.
The real definition according to a real emo, like me, is more like a version of intensly emotional rather than dead inside.
To be honest, I would go so far as to say that My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Twenty One Pilots are emo. Why? Emo music is a genere of music that is extremely emotional, listeners can actually relate to it because it tends to talk about the subjects that almost no one else is willing to sing about, the stressful ones. And most of the singers are passionate about what they're doing with their life and they genuinely care about their fans, unlike Justin Bieber. Just because you wear black, like rock, wear eyeliner and an orange beanie, doesn't make you emo. Your heart does. Emos don't even wear that half the time. It's all stereotyping. Don't stereotype people, they decide wether they want to join The Black Parade or The Skeleton Clique.

Someone who overreacts to everything and thinks the only answer is bleach. Often think that there life sucks when they are usually privileged kids in the suburbs. Are annoying as fuck and always have to put it in your face that they are emo. There is a difference between a depressed or sad person than an emo
Emo teen: My life sucks! I want to drink bleach!
Normal Teen: Im sorry is there anything I can do to help?
Emo: You don't understand my struggles! I wan't to drink bleach! Everyone hates me(Mostly not true)

Teenagers or preteens that listen to bands such as twenty one pilots, my chemical romance, pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens, bring me the horizon, etc... they all shop at hot topic and think they're depressed and have anxiety and spend a lot of time on tumblr. Oh and they're all bi or sexually confused.
