Emo

1: Short for a genre of music, emotive rock. It is a style of music and sometimes clothing.
2: A label that's mainly used on posers who killed the entire genre.

1: Jimmy Eat World is a pretty good emo band.

2: "Emo": I cut myself, cry because of every little thing, write in a paper diary, and wear my hair over my face so I must be emo!
Me: Eff you! You're just a poser. Ugh, wemos. They're everywhere.

Emo

The best known definition for 'emo' is a fashion movement among teens (usually 13-18) involving things like skinny jeans, band tees, wristbands, studded belts, horn-rimmed glasses, eyeliner, and black, choppy hairstyles, often with exotic colors like red or pink. It also brings to mind sort of a whole attitude. And I am not going to say that emos are whiny, self-centered little brats who only cut and act depressed because they think it's cool. That is a common and insulting misconception. The more correct definition is that emos are teens who are more emotional and sensitive than most. They're pretty dark and tend to be very thoughtful and deep. Many have been diagnosed with depression and even more do self-harm. The brats I mentioned before are the POSERS. The total fakes and wannabes that give the subculture a bad name. Most emos are very sensitive, and are also often artistic and like writing songs and poetry that aren't always necessarily about death and darkness. I believe the posers are more common than the real thing, so most non-emos are left with the impression that emos are whiny, angsty teens that think they're oh-so-unique. This is not true of all. Emos are greatly misunderstood people who have been negatively stereotyped. I just wanted to clear that up.

poser 1:Dude, I totally got these new skull earrings at Hot Topic! I'm sooo emo.
poser 2: That's awesome. I wrote a poem about how life sucks and everyone should die, and how no one understands me or loves me. How emo is that?
poser 1: That's way emo. Let's go to the bathroom and cut and cry about our awful lives.

real emo 1: So how was art class?
real emo 2: Pretty good. I'm drawing a charcoal picture of a rose. I'm planning to write a little poetry on the border.
real emo 1: That sounds really cool. Wanna hang out sometime this weekend?
(note the freaky poser coversation and the totally normal emo conversation XD)

Emo

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?"

Emo

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"
