A term once used to refer to a certain style of music in the late 90s, then to a teenage stereotype in the early 2000s, nowadays used to make insecure people defensive (hence the many definitions trying to dissuade people from its common usage). For the teenage stereotype, "emo" connotates angst and nihilism; a fetishization of life's unfairness or meaninglessness; Reddit atheism without a god to denounce. This may be accompanied by attitudes and appearances reflecting a teenager's expected capacity for such extreme ideas.

Emo : Slang for Emotional, An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It is a prime determinant of the sense of subjective well-being and appears to play a central role in many human activities.
