*Emo can be considered a noun, verb or adjective.
1) A person that can usually be identified by loads of dark clothing, side-swept bangs that often cover an eye (or both), Chuck Taylor sneakers that may be written on with sharpies, and often times dark eyeliner and facial piercings for both genders. Can also refer to someone that is depressed or has resentment to society, or even inflicts harm upon themselves.
2) A load of bullshit.
3) Simply a name given to music (that is generally angst-y and may contain screaming and crying) so that it may be sorted.
4) To act in such a way that is appalling due to its depressing nature.
((Or even a mixture of any of the above))

Get the Emomug. 
Currently the most defined word on the Urban Dictionary, as well as one of the most misunderstood words of all time in general. In short, it's a music genre starting with Rites of Spring, a post hardcore band from the 80s that wrote more emotionally mature lyrics than the rest of the punk scene at the time. While Rites of Spring had no idea that they were going to start an entire movement at the time they more certainly did.
Currently there are many diverse subgenres (including one that stem from the genres of metal, rock, rap, and techno) of music labeled "emo" and all are acceptable as long as people like listening to them.
