An emotionally unstable person. They don't have to wear black or cut themselves. Those are just stereotypes. They can be your next store neighbor and you would probably never know. Mostly, they are emo, because of bipolar issues and nothing seems to make them happy. Even Marilyn Monroe was emo.
That girl must be emo, because she always looks so sad. (I don't know, I had to fill in the example!)

Get the Emo mug.Emo is a music scene started in the mid '80s, as an offshoot of punk. Emo is, despite stereotypes, not all about cutting and suicide and crying. Emo is simply EMOtional. It's a music genre, and a state of mind.
People often hate on Emo because it's not "normal" or because it's cooler than them. These people are not cool. If someone insults you because you are a true emo, just ignore them or make a witty, intelligent comeback.

Get the Emo mug.Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style.
Emo has been criticized for its androcentrism and the tendency of most emo bands to relegate women to the role of muse or heartbreaker in their lyrics
