An emo is someone who wants more attention and wants to be special but are completely reclusive so they make small scratches on their lower arms without thinking of social consequences.

Get the Emo mug.A genre of rock music that emerged in the 1990s and got popular in the underground music community through bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz and Mineral among others. The genre is characterized by introspective, confessional lyrics, emotive vocals and indie rock-esque instrumentation.
With the beginning of the 21st century, emo started to die out as people were mislabeling pop-punk bands such as My Chemical Romance and Dashboard Confessional as emo. However, the genre has seen a sort of revival in recent years, with bands like The Hotelier, Sorority Noise and Foxing getting more popular in indie circles.
The word is also used to describe a certain lifestyle, however this is not related to actual emo music.

Get the emo mug.Funny people that are not satanic
Suicidal outcasts
They are some of the most chill people out there in my opinion
I can be myself around them and talk about Mcr and Fob non-stop and they wont even be irritated
Unlike some people emo's are okay with admitting that they are to confirming to a group
The real ones know that they are not "making a statement" or
"Trying to rebel against society"
Maybe they just thought that it would be nice to wear band merch with some black skinny jeans
Not all emo's are depressed
In fact some of the happiest people I've ever met were emo they were probably just faking it but they weren't going around writing poems and songs about it

Get the emo-punk mug.Originally short for emotive hardcore, a subgenre of hardcore punk and post hardcore catagorized by more personal, emotional, and confessional lyrics. It is not a shitty subculture of edgy teenagers who are desperately trying to be unique and different, those are just scene kids. No, chances are if you see it on a shirt at Hot Topic, it is not an emo band (Or a screamo band for that matter).
Some examples of emotive hardcore bands are:
Embrace,
Rites of Spring,
Moss Icon,
Indian Summer,
Dag Nasty
Emo more commonly also refers to another genre known as midwest emo, indie emo, or simply just emo. This type of emo is more closely related to indie rock (which is also probably different than what youre thinking).
Examples of indie emo bands
are:
Sunny Day Real Estate,
Cap'n Jazz,
Joan of Arc,
Jimmy Eat World (early),
Mineral
Both of these types of emo often include shouted, screamed, or occasionally sloppy vocals, respectively.

Respectable emo fan: "Moss Icon is a really good and influencial early emo band."
Scene kid: "i luv emo!!!!1 are they like My Chemical Romance??? RAWR XDDD"
Respectable emo fan: "God has abandoned us."

Get the Emo mug.1) Behavior of an emo - Emo's usually behave as if they were depressed, but they are truly not. They tell dark jokes just to go with their outfit, and how they talk. They are very socially awkward, and will avoid you if you are a normal person. If you do try to communicate they will act shy, because nobody has given them attention like you have in years, and they finally get a single shred of evidence that they are living an embarrassing facade. They will instantly have a huge crush on you once you do communicate with them...
2) Clothing - Usually strange items you've never seen before, and when you try to study them you almost gag at why they are wearing them. They wear things like, mini hand cuffs on their bracelets that also happen to be black leather or a silver metal. They also add to their apparel a half shaven head with their hair swept to the side.
3) Hobbies - Usually drawing, or something that is kind of depressing like singing quiet songs or watching anime cartoons. Sometimes they are pretty good artists, and sometimes the stuff the draw will require 8 gallons of bleach for your eyeballs.
I personally dont see why someone would do something like, becoming an emo just for attention. Its sick. Enjoy life because you're gonna be 83 years old realizing that you did nothing but act sad your whole life just because you wanted someone to notice you. fuck off m8
