EMO

People who cry and cut themselves alot. Gay little boys with girl pants and tight shirts. Basically people who are extremely over-emotional and usually very immature. They listen to Hawthorne Heights and My Chemical Romance. All in all, they are stupid people.
Boy: "Like, OH MAH GOD, my mom got mad at me for not putting the laundry away! Isn't that just the worst?!"
Girl: "I can't beleive it! Let's go cry together while we have sex!"
Boy: "Oh man I wish I could but my tight girl pants gave me a man-gina!"
Girl: "I hate you now!" *cries uncontrollably*
Boy: "Aaaaaaaah, noooooo, I've ruined my life! I hate myself!!!" *Cuts himself*
Girl: "Oh no, you're bleeding!"
Boy: "I know, I got sad and cut myself."
Girl: "That's so emo! I can't beleive you! I hate emo!" *commits suicide*
Boy: "Holy shit!" *cries and writes bad poetry*

EMO

Emo is a music sub-genre within rock that has been reduced to an over-populated fashion statement of a lack of identity and want of more meaning to a pathetic life.

Contrary to popular emo-lover belief, emo did not start in the late eighties with the band Rites of Spring. It stands for “emotive punk” or “emotional punk” (note; emotive and emotional mean the same thing), the true founders actually being Sunny Day Realestate and the like.

These bands were punk, but slowed their riffs and added some ‘meaningful’ lyrics, and actually tried to sing. If you listen to modern ‘emo’ it is more like fast riffs, lots of cymbal and lyrics drenched in gothic and depressing lyrics, popular spark words include; blood, heart, broken, my, I, you, love, pain, revenge, etc.

Emo did not start with depressed angsty teens living in suburbia, it was just punk guys that had a sensitive side, they wore t-shirts and blue denim like the average guy, much like a diluted of version of grunge. This was early nineties and the hard riffs and fast drums were actually degenerative bands of hardcore, an entirely different genre starting in late eighties mainly through Refused and associates in Europe, as well as Rites of Spring which were a lot more 'rocky' than original emo.

Nowadays there are no ‘true’ emo bands.

Another thing, about the fashion statement emo's or even emo bands; they usually deny that they are emo. If they do accept that they're emo (mainly emo bands) their lyrics will be terribly ironic, such as the famous line below by Taking Back Sunday - who aren't emo. More hardcore or even punk rock.
true example of emo music; Sunny Day Realestate.

example of ironic statements made by emo bands;
"literate and silent, kissable and quiet, that's what girls' dreams are made of... Those words were at best teenage poetry" - Timberwolves at New Jersey by Taking Back Sunday

EMO

A subculture which is particularly common in children and teens where they straighten their hair, dye it black, wear black eyeliner, black lipstick, black clothing and tight clothing. There is this myth circulating where EMO people sit in a corner all day, cry and contemplate suicide. This is far from the truth. Many have a liking for punk rock or grunge music, but snobby twats who listen to modern pop call anything unpopular "EMO" when they don't know what EMO music even is.
Being EMO doesn't mean you are depressed or suicidal.
