Get the emomug. 
A social trend of the early to mid 2000s. Characterized by angsty teenagers, mainly from middle class suburban families, dressing in tight pants (often girl jeans), studded belts, black band t-shirts, and heavy use of eye liner with dark straightened hair with crispy bangs meant to cover one eye.
Music tastes tend to be a form of rock characterized by whiny depressed lyrics about some deep seeded emotional issue.
The Emo trend gave rise to toxic social media where dealing with insecurity meant creating an embellished internet personality to appeal to the masses rather than actually learning to love and accept yourself for who you really are.
The Emo era ended sometime in the late 2000s when Myspace began giving way to Facebook. The fashion and music tastes died out but the general attitude of "depression is cool" remained to this day.

Get the Emomug. I know there are a lot of definitions for emo but most of them suck and make fun of emos. An emo is someone who hates themselves and puts themselves down, they feel more emotion than anyone writing these sucky definitions. They can't control their pain so that makes them feel as though they have to hurt themselves even more. It's like feeling like shit and wanting to get drunk, instead of getting drunk they chose to cut or burn themselves. They think that everyone hates them and they don't deserve to live and a lot of emos will end up killing themselves. Take this from someone who's gone through this before, it's not just a genre of music or something to be made fun of, it's a real thing mostly associated with depression. And It's not that they don't feel emotion, they feel too much emotion and it overwhelms them.

Get the Emo and Fatmug. 
"emo" is most commonly thought of as little 14 year olds in all black, black hair, black everything. Often they will cut but most importantly consider themselves emos as they listen to fake metal bands such as:
Pierce the veil
Black veil brides
Of Mice & Men
the list of bands in such "fake poser metal" is near endless and spans from Fall Out Boy style pop rock to Sleeping With Whiners appalling take on metalcore. Emo is used as a half derogatory half label to those who listen to shit; much in a similar fashion to that as the word "nigger".
Originally from the 90s who were offspring of the punk tree, the word was used to describe bands who's lyrical were whilst being hardcore with a punk tint overlapping them. As people denied this tree of punk any right to be called emo and began to focus the word on the above description, emocore as such faded out. However in 2010, a revival began, spearheaded no longer by bands such as I Hate Myself and SDRE but bands such as TWIABP and Everyone Everywhere (bands with essentially the longest most obscure names possible) who's style is defined as lyrically soft often with high treble guitars yet still retaining the original screamo segments or rough quality.
I'll Get back to you later
If I knew, I'd Tell you
Deer Leap
Everyone Everywhere
Empire! Empire!
with more screamo leaders including:
Caravels
Pianos Become the Teeth
Pierce the veil
Black veil brides
Of Mice & Men

"Dude, I'm pretty emo myself, I listen to Of Mice and Men..."
"nah dude you're just a fag"
Or
"Holy crap, Things In progression of reactivity, that's a long band name. Better get my black jeans, Topshelf Records shirt, band flag and a semi-acoustic and start up an atmospheric emo indie alt band".
Or
"Wow his skramz style is brutal"
"yeah dude, someone said he lost his entire voice for six months after that gig"
"sick, lets shred dude"
"yeahhhhh"
