Short for "emotional."
Most people see emo as cutting yourself or having hair that covers their face or simply just wearing black.
Emo is where someone is showing any kind emotions, they don't have to be sad or mad that's just what almost every one portrays "emo" as.

emo

Stereotype victims that can be categorized as a subgroup along with jocks, plastics, etc. Often seen as a genre of depressing or terrible music, and kids who feel sorry for themselves or dress in certain way; kids that develop eating disorders, cut themselves, and overdo the sensitive thing. They supposedly look down on the rest of the world and have completely irrational or absurd reasons to be this way. In truth, they might be this way, they might not. It may be for good reasons, and these definitions are only making things worse.
Not all emo people cut themselves, wear tight pants. or are all depressed. Ever heard of emo-happy?

Emo

In this day and age, "emo" is now the definition for numerous things such as the way someone dresses; certain genres of music; the way people act; a mood and also someone who feels the need to self harm.

Emo originally derrived from the sub-genre of punk known as hardcore punk in the late 80s and lived on from there.

"Emo" music as it is commonly called, is typically music filled with long high pitched screams, continous off beats, a guitar riff that is usually on 3 string and at one side of guitar. And all of this for the Teenagers who want to be someone they are not and want attention from their peers as they believe their life is far harder than anyone elses and that no one understands them or how hard their life is.
Emo is someone who is too skinny, poses and listens to other peoples music about how "bad" their lives are.
