An emo, also known as the average LeafyIsHere fan. LeafyIsHere being the lord and savior of the Emonian empire. An emo can be described as a long haired suicdal creature. It has a bizarre tendency to do a combination of a selfie and the 'perfect' emoji sometimes.

Get the Emomug. 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."

Get the Emomug. 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.
