A style or clique that includes anyone who is unusual. They often choose not to fit in with normal society. Often love attention but like to pretend they don't. Normally willing to do anything that will get them attention. They many times think that they have something "wrong" with them such as a mental or emotional disorder. Simply complain alot but are usually likable. This group can include anyone who is goth or offbeat.
"Look at that crazy chick with the bright yellow leggings and all that dark make-up!! She's so emo!!"

Get the Emomug. While emo is a form of punk, and used to be a music-based culture (emo stands for 'emotive,' not emotional, you morons) this definition is depicting the two types of modern emo:
1. Mainstream emo: Your typical annoying, greasy-haired whiny teen who thinks that their life sucks, when they honestly don't know what they're talking about. A freaking cult- all of them are obsessed with being unique, and yet they are sucked up by the enormous wave of conformity that MTV created to enslave the stupid ones. Often times will cut themselves for attention, or do something of the like. They feel unappreciated, and 'find themselves' in art and their supposed 'darkness.' Myspace is life for some of them.
2. Other: Just that- a truly depressed person who doesn't fit in, possibly because of mood swings, or trauma in early life. Tries not to fit the aforementioned definition of Mainstream emo; they know it's fake and not really them. These are the people with real artistic skills, and actual talent. Someone with severe Aspergers who refuses to take meds, for instance.

1. Anonymous emo boy digs into his wrists with a razor in the closet, darkly musing on darkness. He realizes later in life that he had made a terrible mistake, being an MTV-slave/ carbon copy with no real identity. But, he's already screwed up his life; taking those anti-depressants that he didn't need got him hooked, and he's in a ward. Now he knows what it's like to be all alone... and he hates it.
2. Anonymous 'Other' is strolling along, hands deep in her pockets. She hums a few bars of a song she can't remember the words to, and rolls her eyes at the group of Mainstreamers, all dressed in black and dark. "What a bunch of f*ckheads," she whispers, traipsing away.

Get the Emomug. A group of people/music everyone else like to give shit.
Emo basically means the group all the other cliques like to give hell when, in fact, they are all being idiotic hypocrites.

Un-popular guy: Yeah you stupid emo go kill yourself
Un-popular girl: You're sooooooooo gay. No girl would ever go out with you.

All students who used to tease the emo kid: *fake sadness* We didn't mean to kill him/her!!! It was an accident
Me: Retards, you didn't think that calling someone names and telling them they are worthless and stupid would get them upset??

Get the Emomug. Emos are people who wear super-tight skinny jeans and tight T-shirts, like Converse, and have long hair that they CONSTANTLY flip out of their eyes, which can get really annoying. Most emos are fake posers who act emo for attention, but there are some who like the music, which is mainly metalcore and screamo. Real emo never existed. Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are simply pop-punk bands, which suck save fore a few songs. The there are people who are really depressed, but most don't dress emo. In short, emos are annoying pretty boys/girls that are trying to be different by conforming. In the social chain, they are right below everything else and are preyed upon by punks, Goths, headbangers, metalheads, gangstas, poseurs, Nazis, straight-edges and hippies alike.
A punk bumps into an emo in the hallway.
Punk: Sorry man.
Emo: Why?! Why do people have to make me want to KILL myself!? I'LL KILL YOU!
The emo attacks the punk and proceeds to get the shit beaten out of him.

Get the Emomug. Okay, so there are two very different definitions for the label 'emo'.
First version (usually used by non-emos): Emos are attention seekers who live regular lives like every other teenager in Britain but cannot handle the strain as well as everyone else. They say that they are individuals, yet listen to ‘emo music’, hang out in ‘emo groups’ and buy ‘emo clothes’ with their pocket money. They hang out in dark rooms generally ignoring the happy things in life and talk about how depressed they are all the time. Most lie about cutting themselves in order for people to feel sorry for them without actually experiencing any pain at all. Others do it as an ‘initiation’ ceremony in order to become fully emo. ‘Cutting’ is a fad – what on earth does it help? You feel sad, so you cut yourself to make you feel… better? They don’t appreciate what they have, and do not realise how bad other peoples' lives are in comparison to their own. Emo is just an ever-increasingly popular ‘group’ which people want to be part of. It is a group for kids without an identity, looking for a bit of melodrama and ‘deeper levels of understanding’. To be honest, the kids who REALLY have a life not worth living aren’t even in the emo club – they just try to get through each day until it gets better.
Second version (usually used by TRUE emos – i.e. those who actually have a reason to be depressed): Kids who have had the misfortune to go through circumstances which are incredibly depressing. For example, parental divorce, death of a loved one, and loneliness. They listen to music which explains how they feel, enjoy hanging around with people who understand how they feel, and buy clothes that express to the world about how they feel. Only some kids cut themselves. Cutting can become addictive, and it distracts from the inner pain. It can be hard when youre labelled in the street because of what you wear, and can sometimes make depression worse. Being a ‘half-emo’ can also mean that you just like black and emo clothes and haircuts, and enjoy gigs and mosh pits. Some people that you like because theyre genuinely nice people, could be emo, and fun to hang around with.
Nearly every single teenager has wanted some form of attention or feeling of belonging at some time or other, and being emo could be the solution to some. Don’t hate people because of what they are labelled. Get to know them – they may be more like you than you think.
