Emo is defined in multiple ways. It isn't just some stupid music of genre, nor is it people who self harm. Emo is a character trait. It's a genre of music. However, some "normal people" listen to it and don't even know it. Emos aren't all mean, and the ones who are have a reason to be. Some are really nice, but like I said it's a character trait. It depends on the person.

Get the emo mug.Noun:
1. Some trendy catch all phrase that get elderly hardcore kids in a fucking rage when you mention it casually. What started out as a derogatory term has mistakenly for some been considered a non-coalition sociocultural movement started by kids who were "totally over hardcore". More correctly it has been used to hype up lazy bands that copy either American Football or Antioch Arrow (if they skram) note for note, refuse to rock out, and get that hype money for record labels like Topshelf, Vagrant (rest in piss), Deathwish or Bridge 9.
2. Pop-punk music where the singer is more sad than angry at the girl who wouldn't go to the prom with him.
Adj.
1. Totally acting like a bitch
