Stupid subculture centered around glorification of sadness/hopelessness with a strong emphasis on tight sweaters/hoodies, thick horn-frame black eyeglasses, mascara/eyeliner on men, among other wack and unfashionable choices. These people are not to be trusted since they're going to self-destruct when the sun goes down and they would rather slash their wrists over the lack of light than flick the fucking switch and be able to see (or in some extreme cases change the light bulb). If they're ever going to show courage and be optimistic, it's always too sentimental and will eventually invariably revert to boo-hoo woe is me woe is the world crying and dying.
Their name stems from "emotional", literally. Nothing wrong with emotions, but these people take it to the Nth degree and are generally unstable.

"Dear Diary,
We are emo, we are beautiful. Life is beautiful...but it makes me cry. Sometimes I get bored and apathetic, maybe I'll cut my wrists again to lament on my artistic struggle and search for an understanding of my endless emotions in this dark void we call life. I guess I'll go check and see if my younger sister's pants will fit me. Hopefully she won't notice, but who cares if she does? Who cares about anything? Nothing matters. I'm going to go cry some more."

Get the Emo mug.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.
