It can mean a lot of different things as you can see. My definition of "Emo" is someone who is Emotional. What i mean by this is one person (guy or girl) being overly emotional over one thing. It can be overly happy or overly mad and the most common one is overly sad. I must add that not all Emo's cut! In fact this is commonly confused with depression or suicidal thoughts. Some may because its the stereo type or because they have depression but also act this way. In fact Emo has become confused by so many things.
That girl/guy is overly emo about getting an A on the test.

The women was emo when her husband was put in jail for a crime he didnt commit.

I was emo over a break up.

a pathetic, sad "hip" millenium-brat word a watered down word of what used to in the 80s-90s be simply called a goth.

a way of making being "emotional" and "poetic" seem outrageously trendy also one who frequently goes to hot topic to buy ridiculously expensive clothes--and who wears shirts with bands and pop culture references they know nothing about--a usually upper middle class kid who wants everyone to know what a "misfit" they are

an emo is the equivalent of a yippie--which was back in the day a poser hippie

a multicolored sheep who thinks they go against the grain
emo:
"my life is so tragic, my mom won't get me a cell-phone i need to listen to sad music and contemplate the woe of my existent"

emo:
"i love tight pants and rainbow colors but inside i'm so dark and i've been through things you can't even contemplate like that one weekend when i couldn't go to the mall and hang with my equally troubled and complicated friends"

emo:
"my mommy didn't give me dessert so i gave my self a few small scratches on my wrist cause i'm so dark and sad and oppressed"

emo:
"everything's so sad and hard and no one understands me except the people at hot topic who facilitate my need to be a "rebel"

1. An slang adjective, or noun, describing a person who is emotional.

2. An adjective describing a culture of people who frequently wear somewhat long hair, dark clothes, dark makeup, and guys who wear girl-style pants. Emo's sometimes (but not always) cut themselves, as a way to relieve depression.

3. An adjective for a diverse style of rock music usually containing emotional lyrics.
Person 1: "Dude was that a goth?"
Person 2: "No, they're an emo"
Person 1: "How can you tell?"
Person 2: "They had a hoodie on, and they weren't headbanging to metal"

someone who is different and doesn't give a f**k and they want to express it to everyone, they like screamo bands, which can now be infused with rap (examples of this on youtube) they also like real hardcore rock, they dress in bright colours to stand out, they want to show a darker side of themselves by colouring their hair with a black base and wearing black band t-shirts of more hardcore rock groups, they are pretty nice people once you get to know them, usually if someone is an emo society has driven them to it.

Emo girl's usually look innocent but threatening, and Emo guys usually look stick thin and depressed.

Most emo's are usually bi or bi-curious.
Society:that person is different lets mock them
Society Agrees
Emo gets s**t off society
Emo then realizes how different they are and decide to try to be normal like society.
It fails.
Emo creates a cool band.
Emo guy meets Emo girl.
Fall in love.
Emo's win, Society FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!
