Get the emomug. What you can claim to be if you have a photo of yourself frowning, while your hair is in your face. This transcends race, class, creed, city, state, country, planet, gender, social status, musical tastes, elevation, religion, clothing choices, sexual orientation, internet connection, political affiliation, and whether your belly button is an "innie" or "outie"(innies are slightly more emo, though).
Me: Hey, check out that emo guy.
Jeff!: Uh, no, wrong. He’s smiling. And also, tragically, sporting a mullet. Therefore, you fail.
Me: He... he's a reverse-emo, then. He's "ome".
Jeff!: Backward hair isn't backward vocabulary, you uncompromising bastard.
Me: Sigh.

Get the emomug. Emo is a type of music characterised by songs that are "emotional" and often dark. Emo also refers to a sort of subculture of teens and twentysomethings who listen to that type of music, and dress in a slightly dark, individualistic style. Emo is also associated with depression and self-injury, but to be emo you don't have to have experienced either of these. Emo kids are usually disliked by the popular crowd because they really don't want to fit in with them, but they don't care because the people who they do fit in with are a whole lot nicer in their opinion. Some people say that emo is stupid because a kid will try and be different and find friends who are also trying to be different, and they will be the same as their friends, but really, what alternative style hasn't that happened to? All the punk or gothic or metalhead kids have always stood out on their own and fit in with their friends, and really, that's better than fitting in with everyone. Emo is not really my thing, and I don't consider myself emo, but I'm proud of those who do.
"Jenny" likes Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World. She wears lots of eye makeup and is a good writer. she hates to fit in with the rest of the world. She considers herself to be emo.

Get the emomug. A depressing subculture. Subculture deriving from 'sub' (below) and 'culture' (culture) meaning "Below/insignificant/lower culture".
The collective term for which is unanimously a 'futility of emos'.

I was down at my record shop, and towards the back I saw this massive futility of emos just standing there silently.

Get the emomug. A sheeplike creature often seen milling about waiting for their next opportunity to pour disdain on the very culture they embrace, although the music scene is said to be blamed for the name Emo meaning EMOtive music i think it far more likey it is due to the emo's style guru Emo Philips the comedian. also see otaku for more info on the original roots of this culture
Although a seemingly us trend this began in the otaku region of japan which spawned the older trend named after the region these "Otaku" kids were almost identical to emo teens except that they started to become violent and several muders were commited. both of these trends are merely precursors to the cult of the drummers seen in the graphic novel "Halo Jones" first seen in the comic 2000ad the drummers were a group of emo lookalikes who had a hypnotic drumbeat implanted in there brains that would make them almost catatonic with bouts of psychotic violence very much like the otaku

Get the emomug. Emo is a fashion and music style that originated in the 1980's. Emo music consists of screaming, and ncredibly poetic lyrics. It is short for Emotional Hardcore, as it began as a form of punk rock. Emo bands include (but are not exclusive too): My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Panic! At The Disco, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Hawthorne Heights, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Escape The Fate, Die Mannequin, AFI, The Academy Is.., Cute Is What We Aim For, Dashboard Confessional, From First To Lst, Funeral For A Friend, Rites Of Spring, Silverstien, Thrice, Thursday, Coheed And Cambria, and Underoath. Some emo, such as PATD, has been known to have a dance/techno aspect to it.
Emo fashion is far more easier to define. When it comes to hair, black is usually the staple, although any colour is acceptable (my natural hair colour is actually barbie doll blonde). Hair normally covers half the face, and is straight. Spikes in the back is also emo. Clothes are mostly black, with the odd flouresant colour (such as pink) mixed in. Emo's wear ties, and scarves in just about any colour. An emo shirt is most likely a tight fitting black t with an emo band name on it, or anything from Nightmare Before Christmas or Emily The Strange.
Pants are ALWAYS tight-fitting skinny jeans. No exception. A girl can wear a black skirt overtop, or tight-black leggings (black with skulls is better) and the skirt. Denim in this situation is also acceptable.
Shoes can be converse, or vans. Writing on them (and your jeans) adds a nice touch.
Gloves are a staple of emo, if you can get them fingerless, even better.
Emo can also take on a gothic-hybrid style. Dress shirts and lace can be your best friend. ^^
Make sure you wear thick black eyeliner, black, purple, or grey eyeshadow, and black nailpolsh. Even if your a guy. Trust me, it's hot.
Also, I will say this once, and once only. Emo does NOT mean gay, depressed, or cutting. Emo kids are just being themselves.

Poser Emo: Dude, do you see these cuts? I'm so hardcore!
Real Emo: No, you're not. Get a life, poser.
