A state of mind in which the person usually feels hopeless and alone. It is not a fashion statement, although many 'emo' people tend to dress in skinny jeans, black hair, etc. because they know it will differntiate themselves from those 'abercrombie-wearing'kids, so that they will likely never have to deal with them. A common myth is that most emos cut themselves. This is a stereo-type. Self mutilation is caused by depression. One does not have to be emo to cut, but one who cuts is likely to choose to dress 'emo', to express themselves. The 'emo' genre of music is generallytypes of rock, such as screamo, punk, etc. examples: Children Of Bodom, Senses Fail, The Rocket Summer, etc.

Get the emomug. a bunch of suburban kids who have it good turn every little "hiccup" into their life
a melodrama. all emo's are the same and are all conformists, even though they hate conformists. How does supporting major clothing stores, ex.Hot Topic, make you a non-conformist? Also there is no difference from the, so-called "real" emo's from the "fake" emo's, it looks like shit, smells like shit, you know the rest. It's all the same.
Attire
Top: tight black horizontally stripped sweater w/ a scarf, i guess the luxury of breathing is something they're willing to sacrifice.
Jeans: as tight as they can get, usually from their little sisters closet or the women's department, funny because their's 2 emo's at my school who have developed testicular cancer..think they need to loosen up their jeans.
Hair: Long black asymmetrical greasy haircut covering the left or right eye, the ability to see is compromised for "style".
Shoes: usually Chuck Taylor's with their favorite band written on the white part.

"Ahh, i see i see. I think i kno the problem, ure turning emo."
"Ooo, well i guess i better cut off my balls, i wont need those anymore."

Get the emomug. let me get ONE thing straight here: the word "emo" is NOT A NOUN!!!
let me say it again... ITS NOT A NOUN! its an ADJECTIVE!
IF YOU'RE GOING TO VERBALLY ABUSE MY COMPATRIOTS IN PAIN, DO IT RIGHT!
oh and btw...
the pants are not girl pants, they're made for guys.
not all of us cut ourselves.
not all of us sit sobbing all night.
no, not all girls like football captains.
and NO, we are not retarded.
not all of us come from the suburban middle class
some of us are perfectly normal, happy people who happen to wear black, enjoy pain, and have our hair over our eyes.
i think i'll go post something mean about jocks.

Get the emomug. Oh gosh, where to begin.
Emos say that emo isn't what we all know it means.
Emo may have at one point, been emotive hard core, but since language evolves with the times, emo has come to mean a bunch of people who are antidisestablishmentarians, but in doing so, simply give in to the zeitgeist by becoming one with it. Please make a note of it.

I'm Emo, but I don't wear black. Gosh, don't generalize me. Ooh! Hot Topic has new Tim Burton stuff, I gotta get there so that all of my friends will think I'm SOO xXcoreXx. Well, tata my lovelies, I need to go write a poem in free verse.

Get the emomug. A member of the emo community has 3 main ingredients.
They are as follows:
1. Blood.
2. Their emo friends' blood.
3. ipod.
They tend to lurk in the dark sides of the hallway along with the lesbians, bisexuals, geeks, and skater punks(faggots).
Their main form of initiation into their group is by:
1. Dying their hair.
2. Covering one eye with their hair.
3. Making their myspace names the lyrics of emo songs.
3B. and constantly changing those names.
3C. Constantly taking pictures of themselves and putting it on their myspace.
4. Emo guys also tend to wear gay jeans that are for girls.
After initiation emos are not allowed to associate with anyone who wears or acts as follows:
1. Everything but Hot Topic
2. Happy thoughts
3. Is not gay.
Emos tend to take 10-15 years to develop from birth, this is why if you are in 5th or 6th grade you probably will not see a very large emo population. Enjoy it while it lasts because once you enter middle school you will begin to get overflowed with the emos.
Disclaimer: I do not experiment on the emos I just see them so much.
