How to be emo:
Go out to the drugstore and buy some cheap hair dye. You're gonna need black, and if you want to look more emo, buy dark purple or dark red. Or maybe a neon color. Put streaks in random as hell places. There's the color. Now, cut your bangs into a long diagonal fringe, covering about 1/3 of your face on that side. make sure your fringe is longer than the rest of your hair if you're a guy, and if you're a girl, your bangs should be at least half the length of the rest of your hair.
There, now you've got the hair. Now, go one to make-up. You're gonna need eyeliner. A lot of it. Now, put it on. When you think you have enough, you will need more. then for eyeshadow, choose either a dark color, or a bright color.
For clothes, you're going to need a studded belt. You need skinny jeans, skin tight. Or tighter. Then, go to Hot Topic, buy a few band shirts, and while you're there, look at other band shirts, and write them down. That's what music you'll be listening to until you get over whatever you're sad about. Make sure you have converse!!
Then, the attitude. Obviously, you have to be sad all the time. Don't eat, and cut yourself.
...
Now, if you think I'm serious, you're ridiculous. I guess I'm classified as emo, and I do few of these things. I streaked my hair neon orange, it's naturally black. I do usually wear dark clothes. But Seriously, don't be a poser. Emo's aren't always fucking depressed.

Get the Emomug. A whiny, attention whore who likes to pretend they are more deep and tortured than they actually are. They are often confused with goths due to a similar aesthetic but there is a key difference: emos want to kill themselves and goths want to kill everyone else.
That emo is cutting his wrists, not due to real mental illness and depression or an inability to cope, but to get attention and seem special.

Get the Emomug. Contrary to popular belief, "Emo" does not mean the cutting of one's wrist, nor is it a style. It doesn't represent someone sitting in a corner, crying, or angst-filled teenagers. It was originally a style of music, known as "Emotive Hardcore" or "Emotional Hardcore". Modern society has turned it into both a way to dress and a stereotype, sadly. Many people think it means emotional. That is slightly correct, but it really stands for "emotional" or "emotive" hardcore. If "Emo" really was Emotional, everyone would be "Emo", considering we've all shown emotions before. The word Emo shouldn't even exist, considering its past.
An example of how modern society uses "Emo":
"Emo fags, cutting their wrists." "Go cry in a corner, Emo."
"Emo fags, cutting their wrists." "Go cry in a corner, Emo."

Get the Emomug. A metal fan. Nah I'm just kidding. Something that is wrongly used by non-metalheads to describe a metal fan. THERES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALHEADS AND EMOS, PRICKS!
It's also a subgenre of rock.

*uncool kid finds someone else listening to metal*
"Stop being emo and listen to good music like Drake"
*uncool kid gets punched super hard*
"DO NOT DISRESPECT METAL, ARE YOU HEARING ME OUT NOW YOU FUCKING PUNK?"

Get the Emomug. A word that used to hold meaning as a music genre. however, it has recently become more of a hate slang used to describe people who act/dress a certain way.
Like the "punks," very few people use emo to talk about music these days. this is because that genre is dead, and never coming back. we are now left with a new hate word created by preppy bitches on their period and gangbangers. way to go society.

Get the Emomug. A commercially manufactured fad that embodies no artistic merit in anyway whatsoever,
A prime example of social collectivism to compensate for a lack of individuality,
Also used by the weak minded to label things they so obviously don't understand,
A current source of homogenized, soulless and mediocre music within the mainstream,
It is also used to mock and greatly undermind those who self harm and and suffer from genuine depression.

Get the Emomug. A moody melodramatic and upset teenager who wants attention but can never seem to get it. They will wear dark makeup and walk around looking like they've just been to a funeral and frequently meet up with other Emo's to discuss methods of suicide. They listen to dark weird almost satan cult type music to fuel their growing need for attention. Sometimes they are cutters who act like they tried a serious attempt to kill themselves when all they were doing was cutting.
"Sara is such an emo....all she does is listen to depressing music and talk like its the last time we'll ever see her alive"
