Emo, short for emotional bitchass, is a person with little to no mental sanity. Emo’s typically don’t make it to the 10th grade, due to either suicide, or are imprisoned for shooting up their local Walmart. Emo’s typically have more cuts than a steakhouse. Emo’s are likely to be “depressed”, and always complain about how bad their middle class family is for not buying them a new pet to torture. Emo’s are also know to masturbate to gore porn, and human suffering. Emo’s like to wear jean jackets with a skull and bones t-shirt, with ripped jeans, so you can see their bleeding wounds from last night. An Emo’s natural habitat is Hot Topic, where they can congregate with fellow psychologically challenged individuals, and talk about who is next on their sacrifice list. If you spot an Emo, run for your life, because they will most likely cast a spell on you if you look at them the wrong way.
Friend 1: Jesse is such an emo.
Friend 2: I know right! I heard he once jacked off in Hot Topic to this old lady who had a heart attack in the middle of the store.

A short lived sub-genre of the alternative scene comprised of teens and 20 somethings that couldn't decide if they wanted to be punk or goth. Died with Myspace.

Emo (shortened for emocore or Emotional Hardcore) is a subculture of Hardcore Punk that began in the 1980’s and was Popularized in the early 2000’s. The genre itself expands in more complicated emotional topics (coining the term “Emo”)
In music style the genre is split into multiple different forms (Pop punk, Hardcore punk, Progressive, Indie). The genre originally was named Screamcore (Screamo for short) which was coined by its use of screaming in lyrics: however the term screamo is also used to stereotypically describe music that has screaming in its lyrics. As of now In its dressing style it takes on a Punk Rock appearance but dawning a rather emotional aesthetic using black however it’s not officially a style of dressing. A form of this dress style (that is officially its own dressing style I would like to add) is called Scene. Scene is a rather colourful dress style that is used by Self Described “emos” As a style of dressing.
As of bands: the music genre of emo has a mall (another way to say pop) style which includes Bands such as “My Chemical Romance”, “Fall Out Boy”, “Panic! At The Disco” and “All Time Low”. While lesser know bands such as “Funeral For A Friend”, “The Used”, and “Rites Of Sprint” occupy the more describable Emotional Hardcore bands
Emo is also used sometimes as a insult to people who dress in Monotonous black and white (for example: gothic dressing style and Rivethead)
it’s also an Abbreviation of the word “Emotional”

The band seemed a rather Emo with their fast and heavy guitar and drums, though their dressing seemed rather positive and cheep

a style of music formed in 1980's and 1990's with clean guitar for the verse, and heavy distortion during the chorus. the lyrics usually are emotional, having to do with emotions. such as love, hate, anger, past screw ups. But in no way does emo involve kids cutting themselves, or wearing tight jeans, or scarfs or any of that crap. emo started as a style of music, and has now turned into a degrading form of self expression. i hate what emo has turned into...because in fact, most bands nowadays can be classified as emo, but people are just too used to thinking emo is, black hair, tight pants, and all that. IT ISN'T!!!!!!!
For example...a band nowadays that should actually be classified as emo is, Boys Like Girls...to be more specific, Me, you, and my medication. Listen to it. it starts out clean guitar, and during the chorus goes into distorted guitar.
