The other 1200 definitions explain the term itself and its origins better than I can here, but it is important to note that the music and accompanying culture currently labeled "emo" by the press and popular media (as well as by the kids themselves) is essentially the same music and culture we all would have simply referred to as "alternative" a decade ago, and which has been shoveled into the media-created pigeonhole formerly occupied by the (arguably artificial) subgenre of "alternative" music known as "grunge" back in the '90s.

Get the emomug. a group of people seriously overused in the mainstream of the 21st century
emos usually wear eyeliner or other dark makeup, but not always
skinny jeans and converse are also labled 'emo' but aren't just for emos
yes, emos usually have a sidebang covering one of their eyes
hair is not always a shitty black color or greasy
emo music is anything that holds meaning to you, either lyrics or sound
emo is a cultural innovation that came after emo music
deep, crypitc poetry and music no ones heard of before are common
slitting your wrists isn't really 'emo' but an attempt to feel anything other than your emotional pain
i agree that sweaters are mostly for fags and old people
people who are emo are usually just people who are trying to be different but people followed their trend
people who make fun of emos are usually just scared of being revealed as the emos they are
not all emos are sad all the time
emos arent all pussys
my chemical romance is a retarded band that is definitely not emo

Get the emomug. Emo is a genre of music.
It tends to be simalar to Rock/Punk/Metal.
Emo isnt about being sensitive or anything, emo's are just people who listen to this music.
Emos are not gay, depressing, suicidal, or stupid as people say they are!!!!!!!!
Emo's are actually decent people!

Get the emomug. They hate life and they cut themselves. Most if not all of them are clinically depressed. They are ill and they need help. It's hard enough when everyone's making fun of their condition. The term just trivializes their real medical problem. Sure there are posers out there, but that doesn't make it alright to make fun of them. It's not that easy picking out the posers from the ill. You don't know everything that's going on in a person's life, therefore you have no right to make that kind of judgement on them. Show some compassion, you could be saving a life.
Person A: Look at those emo kids over there cutting themselves and bitching about life, so pathetic.
Person B: Yeah they need some help.
Person A: Tell me about it.
Person B: I mean they need professional help, it sounds like they have depression.
Person A: I'm only talking about the posers, relax will you?
Person B: Can you pick out the posers from the afflicted?
Person A: ...
Person B: Then you have no authority to say anything.
Person B: Yeah they need some help.

Get the emomug. One of the single most threatening and terrifying things ever to walk the earth, right up there with ManBearPig.It is rumored that there main breeding grounds are Hot Topics, but this has yet to be researched. They also have a fatal weakness to good music. There have actually been numerous instances of them melting after hearing songs from awesome bands like Sublime.
