Often used to describe a person. There are two definitions to this word: emotionless, and emotional. The belief that "wearing dark clothes, having the hair covering an eye or both, cutting ones self, having little to no friends, and wearing eye liner/makeup despite gender" is a false concept.
"Happy Birthday kiddo!" (dad)
"and your point is...?" (emotionless kid)
Emotionless ^
"I heard that he's going to break up with you soon!" (friend)
"what!?! but.. but why?!?" (girlfriend) *starts crying a lot*
Emotional ^

Emo is not based on how often they cry or cut themselves. To be honest, most of the definitions of emo on urban dictionary are not true and they do hurt. They are mainly made by judgemantal people who have no idea of what they are writing about and just like to be super critical for no reason. They honestly don't understand how it is like to be in my shoes, so why should they judge my lifestyle. In fact, most emo kids don't cut. They prefer to have an awesome haircut which consists of side bangs, black hair and occasionally another random colour. Sterotypically, Emo's listen to emo music. Saying all emos listen to emo music isn't necessarily true. They have quite a varity of music because there is more music out there than just one genre. You know which I love to hear? Emos are hated. Well, emo's do have friends, and they can be friends with whoever they want to be friends with. Just because they look a certain way or might act a different way occasionally doesn't mean they are hated. What I don't get is that there are so many rumors about the emo sterotype. Yes there is a certainn way to be emo, but you cannot act emo. To be emo you have to legit be an emo. One thing I have to say, is most of the urban dictionary definitions for the way emos dress are pretty true. They generally wear tight black clothes with a spiky belt and wear converse. Also piercings are very common with the emo culture

A very ironic subculture devoted to trying extremely hard and spending a lot of money to fit one cookie-cutter emo mentality, then denying (strongly denying that is) that you are emo to anyone who asks.
{Person approaches a kid with two studded belts, red/black hair, Hawthorne Heights tee shirt and black skinny jeans}
"Hey, are you like emo or something?"
"No, fuck emo. Don't label me, I'm not emo, I'm an indiv-"
"I don't care..."

Plastic goths. Unoriginal teens of the late 90s early 00s who attempt to copy the original eighties goths in an insipid, fake, moronic and ultimately pathetic way.
"This week I'm going to be an emo, next week who knows?"
"I'll take one of each in black please. Charge it to Daddy's account."

The word Emo doesnt mean Emotional because if it did then Everybody could be labeled emo for the fact everyone has emotions. It originated from 'Emotive Hardcore'.
Not all emo's are depressed and cut themselves.
Alot of emo's are happy and proud of their quirky free dress sense.
They tend to get alot of stick from chavs who really have no place to talk
They support there favourite bands by wearing their merchandise.
Emos get slated alot and its unfair because they are just people living their life how they like it.
Alot of Emo's listen to My Chemical Romance so they then get mistaken as an emo band when they are actually Rock.
Much respect to the Emos.. \m/

Some comments Emos face:
Go slit your wrists you fucking emo.
Go back to your corner and cry.
What do you look like?
I feel sorry for your mother..
Well dont feel sorry for their mothers becasue the majority of Emo's are very intelligent and actually try to make something out of their lives.

Emo is not a type of music, a style of clothing, or an emotion. Emo is short for emotional. They do not cut themselves, they do not always wanna die. The word EMO is a word commonly missused by todays generations.
