An Emo is a person who wears all black clothing, including black skinny jeans, black hoodies, vans shoes, and vans clothing really and likes chains and belts. They like sad music and listen to artists like, Lil Peep, xxxtentacion, suicide boys, Melanie Martinez, Billie Eilish, Lana del Ray, the neighborhood, Arctic monkeys etc
Emos use these common sayings daily, “I hate my mom”, “school sucks” and “fuck you”, they also make fun of their friends for being “basic” because they are on another level of awesome.

Emo is not one thing, it is actually multiple things, and either can make you Emo;
Emo is a style, wearing dark clothes usually black, black painted nails/hair, and the hair can be shaggy and swooped across the face usually long. Emo can also be a mentality, someone who is in tune with their own emotions, they understand themselves, self harm too but we dont talk about that. One more thing that could make you emo is music taste, for instance, all types of rock and metal genres fit into emo. Some artists that would fit the emo genre would be: Joel Faviere, Get Scared, Black Veil Brides, and so on.
You dont need to fit all the criteria to be Emo, just one is fine, And if you fit some of it and dont want to be called Emo, then thats alright, you do you.

Emo is a subculture that enveloped around a musical style known as Emo that is derivative off both the 80's punk and teen angst mentality of the Punk Rock/Metal musical scene and the 90's Gothic Rock/Hardcore, and is more ever some thing leached on to by the 21st century teenagers who, seeking to ether be cool or vent frustrations and express their own pseudo-Originality developed what you see as Emo, musically much like the other two, culturally taking the rebel Teen Angst from Punk and the hatred for self and others from the Goth underground, it is now what you see today, a mess of culturally cliché stereotypes in a deprived time in cultural modern history.
Emotionally Angst Teen is told NO, Teen, because his mother wouldn't attentional to her son's emotional problems or father doesn't see why his son won't play sport like kids of his age, Becomes Depressed and create emotional poetry, Emo shares poetry, Others feel sorry, and thus promote this.
This catches on, and now you have a subculture.
