Stereotype victims that can be categorized as a subgroup along with jocks, plastics, etc. Often seen as a genre of depressing or terrible music, and kids who feel sorry for themselves or dress in certain way; kids that develop eating disorders, cut themselves, and overdo the sensitive thing. They supposedly look down on the rest of the world and have completely irrational or absurd reasons to be this way. In truth, they might be this way, they might not. It may be for good reasons, and these definitions are only making things worse.

Emo : Slang for Emotional, An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It is a prime determinant of the sense of subjective well-being and appears to play a central role in many human activities. As a result of this generality, the subject has been explored in many, if not all of the human sciences and art forms. There is much controversy concerning how emotions are defined and classified. Emo in our era today, cuts wrist, cries, listens to AFI.

Emo is a complex beast. It came from the late 80s in the form of Rites of Spring, and slowly changed. From there it became Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, and Cap'n Jazz. But as the remaining ones of these bands slowly changed the style of their music, they were still associated with the term and bands that were like them got the name. Fall Out Boy could be considered emo because of the fact that Pete Wentz admitted something along the lines of if there wasn't The Get Up Kids, there would be no Fall Out Boy. But The Get Up Kids still are not anything like old, decent emo. It's just that genres change, they move on.
But now people who listen to this new MTV emo adopted a fake personality. Make up, crying, pretending to be deep, wallowing in pain and crying because no one accepts them. They're annoying and fake. They are what most people call emo now, and they tainted the good name of Rites of Spring.

Emo: WAAAH MY GIRLFRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME! Time to cry while listening to Dashboard Confessional and cutting my wrist. The world doesn't understand me!
