Emo is not one thing, it is actually multiple things, and either can make you Emo;
Emo is a style, wearing dark clothes usually black, black painted nails/hair, and the hair can be shaggy and swooped across the face usually long. Emo can also be a mentality, someone who is in tune with their own emotions, they understand themselves, self harm too but we dont talk about that. One more thing that could make you emo is music taste, for instance, all types of rock and metal genres fit into emo. Some artists that would fit the emo genre would be: Joel Faviere, Get Scared, Black Veil Brides, and so on.
You dont need to fit all the criteria to be Emo, just one is fine, And if you fit some of it and dont want to be called Emo, then thats alright, you do you.

Emo Romeo is Romeo from Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the play, Romeo is caught saying somber things, or people that know him to talk about how sad he is. A quote from the book, said by his father reads, "Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew... Away from the light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself..." His persona is like a broken teenager who is lonely and emo.

Get the EMO mug.Noun:
1. Some trendy catch all phrase that get elderly hardcore kids in a fucking rage when you mention it casually. What started out as a derogatory term has mistakenly for some been considered a non-coalition sociocultural movement started by kids who were "totally over hardcore". More correctly it has been used to hype up lazy bands that copy either American Football or Antioch Arrow (if they skram) note for note, refuse to rock out, and get that hype money for record labels like Topshelf, Vagrant (rest in piss), Deathwish or Bridge 9.
2. Pop-punk music where the singer is more sad than angry at the girl who wouldn't go to the prom with him.
Adj.
1. Totally acting like a bitch
