a lame attention seeking kid who wears a lot of dark colors, skinny jeans, belts with special metal studs on them, and hair that covers half their face as though doing that will prove they disapprove of mainstream society. then they go home and ask their parents for money and eventually will get over how lame they are grow up to become yuppies.

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.

Get the emo mug.I work with a guy who is a total emo. He updates his mood on myspace on a daily basis so others will know how he's feeling. 9 out of 10 times it's always some adjective for his self-inflicted depression. The really sad thing is he's 27 years old.

Another Word For this type of Emo Is Lani, Lani's are also users, Posers, and Extremely Ugly

Correctly Used For Emo "What Type of Music Do you listen to?" "I listen to Emo Genre"
It is mistaken by saying "You're a Emo"
The Other Definetion of Emo is the Lani"No one cares about me, why doesn't he like me? Maybe If I cut myself I will have more Friends" "Gosh Damn it Lani!"

Get the Emo mug.The worst thing to arrive in heavy music and the counter-culture in over 10 years. By being all about non-conformity and dressing the way they do they've created a style, another facet for people to conform to. Also, why they fret on past relationships and experiences is beyond me, anyone from any class and any nationality can have abusive parents, can have been in bad relationships and so on. Doesn't matter what scene you're part of, it happens to everyone. Emo kids just decide to make their lives revolve around their problems rather than make the best of the hand they were dealt and overcome their troubles like everyone else. They don't need to dress the way they feel (crappy) and they definitely don't need to set their whiny, talentless singing, and their all-out screaming to "music" (if you could call it that) that lacks real composing and skill. And I've really had enough of their reverse mullets!
emo is a reverse-mullet dyed red, black and blonde, piercings wherever they can be put, skin tight pants, wearing their little sister's shirt, wearing enough belts for 3 people...etc,etc.

Get the emo mug.E-mo
Emo (or "emotional hardcore" 'e-mo') originated in the mid 1980's and has evolved in present day (2008) as a shadow of its former self.
It was born in Washington (USA) as a subgenre of hardcore punk which overlaid typically aggressive, political, rebellious music with introverted and personal lyrics which was reflected the persona of the bands.
Emo began its passage into mainstream music in the mid 1990s with the Indie movement which was exemplified by the likes of Fugazi.
Emo then accelerated its progression away from its hardcore punk origins towards 'mainstream' pop culture. The genre upheld the introverted lyrics which distinguished it from the hardcore punk movement of the 80s, and replaced its thrashier, more aggressive tempo with a blend of 'mainstream ' pop-punk and soft-rock.
Emo's hardcore roots are the central derivative of many post-hardcore (or current hardcore/metalcore/scream o etc) bands, which have taken the central hardcore thrash tone and introverted lyrics and combined them with metal, pop-punk and other 'mainstream' influences.
*The term 'core has also undergone a similar passage where it has been adopted as a suffix for a musical or cultural icon associated with emotional hardcore (eg metalcore, fashioncore, emocore).
