emo

1)Middle-class teenagers who only want attention from their parents or their peers who have enough grease in their hair to fry enough bacon for the 10 trillion people in this world. They wear a lot of black and their greasy hair is always covering their face. Most emo kids cut themselves......most of the time for attention, as previously stated....because mommy and daddy "just don't understand".

2)Emo sumed up is goth with no balls(maybe if emos didn't wear castratingly tight jeans they could grow the balls to realize they are being completely ridiculous and that nobody cares.)

3)Posers with bad taste in music.
Jon: have you seen what that freshmen did to himself?
Sally: who the little emo kid? Yeah I saw.
Jon: poser.

Emo

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."

emo geek

an emo geek is an emo person who dedicates all of their time into emo fashion, and emo band history, fun facts, and band members. they spend more time researching a band members childhood than they do on their own homework, they dont have many friends besides other emos, and theyre constantly listening to music. emo geeks try to talk about emo stuff allllllllllllllllllllllllll the time, especially with non emo ppl, but they dont call themself emo (or a geek, obviously) because thats #fakealt /SATIRE
do you see ____ over there? he/she/they're an emo geek, dont start a conversation with them or they'll never shut up about "petekey" and they'll try to force you to listen to the used.

Emo-chandelier

When you hang yourself from a ceiling fan in a dark room for the express purpose of having someone walk into the room and turn on the lights, turning the fan, and swinging your corpse around the room. This would also cause piss and shit to fly everywhere, earning it the nickname, "The grim reaper's paint job."
Person 1: Oh shit, I got an F on my report card!
Person 2: Haha, I guess you better make yourself into an Emo-chandelier!
