A type of music that angsty teens listen to while they pretend to cut themselves.
Not hard enough to be called Punk but not bubble gum enough to be called pop. Imagine if Punk, Pop, and a little bit Goth got together and had a child. Emo is what you would get every time because it takes a little bit of everything.
Just take one band and switch the names around and you basically have every emo band imaginable. The same whiny sounding lead singer, the same sounding guitar solos, the same lyrics just in a different order.

Get the E Emomug. First off, ignore what all the emo purists say. According to them, emo is hardcore punk with emotive lyrics, and according to them, any band that has long bangs on their hair covering the sides and back or their fans look like that and have lip rings, jeans or something "can't be emo". They also think all emo bands have short hair and look like a hardcore punk band. Even some bands they reject as emo sound like the bands they call emo. (Dashboard confessional sound like 90s emo alt rock; MCR used to sound 80s emo; senses fail sound old school; etc) Emo basically is shortened as emotional. But it usually derived from alternative and punk. Nowadays many bands are gonna sound post-hardcore, indie, alt rock, and stuff. Emos as persons like this music, and also they might express emotion. But emo kids started to come more in 2004 and then started having a hair fringe and hair covering their head (except the face, they don't have to), jeans, band shirts or sometimes lip rings and studded belts and stuff. Screamo, though as hardcore punk influenced but had screaming and was intense. Even screamo gets confused with metal or even certain "Core" genres. Only certain core bands are emo as long as they have roots tracing from like The Used, MCR, or Hawthorne Heights or silverstien or something

Get the Real emomug. Emo Music is the harsh sounding squeal of a high pitched faggoty dark colored attire wearing prick with long bangs that cover the face/eyes and that that doesnt bathe for days(usually accommodated by a wool or polyester scarf). Usually composed of a grand total of 3-5 chords played repetitively in different ways, these songs are "Messages to America's Youth" about how shitty well-off suburban lifestyle is. These songs usually contain lyrics such as "I shed tears of blood for you", "I hate my life", "I cut myself again", and my personal favorite "We're just kids".
Whoever writes Emo Music needs to go to Kenya and get his ball sack accessorized into a spare change pouch for the homeless.

Get the Emo Musicmug. In my opinion, emo boys are rather homosexual young men who walk/skateboard around downtown areas. They wear chick jeans, have gay hair that covers one eye and swoops down at an angle. They act like they have it all tough but their usually middle-upper class white kids who are attention deprived. And I usually beat the shit out of them when I can.
"That emo boy is a fag."
"Let's go make fun of the emo boy"
"Ok"
"Hey nice jeans, did you get them from my little sister?"
lollollollol
