A subculture mainly consisting of younger people who listen to rock, metal, punk, etc. They get lot's of hate and are called fake a lot, but I can assure you, they aren't depressed because they are emo, they are emo because they are depressed. Actually, you don't have to be depressed to be emo. They mostly turn to their music to cope with their issues, for the lyrics are deeply meaningful. If people would stop making fun of these bands because they have a different sound than others and listen to the lyrics and pay attention to them, you'd find the meaning. Emos usually have a darker style of band shirts, skinny jeans, and Vans with hints of neon, and the style is less for attention and more for finding more emos like themselves. The most common emo stereotype is that they all are suicidal and cut themselves, which is extremely untrue.

Get the emo mug.Emo is a style related to a dark subculture however emos aren't Goths nor Scenes which most people confused them with.
The emo wording itself comes from a short–cut for EMOtional meaning emos are a more sensitive version of a dark subculture, aother misconception being that all emos cut themselves which is false, not everyone who considers themselves emo actually self–harm and another person who may hurt themselves don't consider themselves emos.
An emo is iconically known as follows:
* Pale skin.
* Black hair. or a dark shade of brown.
* Iconic makeup with eyeliner.
* Piercings.
* Black clothing with rarely any color. Most emos often wear green, pink and white.
* Iconic converse, leather boots or vans.
* Choppy and spiked in layers haircut.
* Choppy bangs/fringes on one side of their face or completely covering one eye.
Emos are exactly as above however not all whom dresses as such call themselves emo, but it's a to differ Emo from Scenes and Goths, one being Goths wear maibly black with little to no color, and opposite- Scenes wear more color.

Get the emo mug.emo: have you ever noticed how emo is in the word emotion well its because people who are referred to as "emo" often have heavy emotions and don't know how to deals with them that end up causing them to do things to themselves but usually they are social floaters who don't give a shit what people think and just hate people for their own reason.
person:fuck I have to do homework
stupid person: oh my fuck you're so fucking emo
person: *rolls eyes*

Get the emo mug.Emo is an abbreviation for 'emotive hardcore punk', or 'emocore', a genre of music and a lifestyle which peaked in the 1990s. Often used nowadays as a classification for people - typically teens - who listen to rock music, are introverted and wear black and maybe have coloured streaks in their hair. Occasionally used as an insult, though emos do not take this as an insult normally.
"Hey, look at him, isn't he an emo?"
"Oh yeah, he's wearing all black and burgundy and listening to Papa Roach."
