1. Someone who is overly-emotional, usually in a negative way
2. Chronically and outwardly depressed
Someone can be called emo if they have at least two of the following qualities: always dress partially or fully in black (because it "reflects the color of their soul"); wear very tight and restricting clothes (constantly in contact with the skin, because they are usually deprived of any physical contact with other people such as hugs); seem to talk mostly about how sad, unfair, or hopeless their life is; cut their own wrists; or attempt to express their emotions through excessive amounts of boring dark art or poetry (also includes music).

Emo kid: "Linkin Park and Three Days Grace are my favorite bands I feel like theyre the only ones who get my life"
Normal kid: "Dude, they are Emo incarnate. You need to get laid..."

A person who is defined by their outer appearance and inner knowledge.
Emo-lectual is a person that is usually seen with tight pants, an appearance that is a cross between grunge punk and emo. Usually seen with face tattoos.
Can be described as a tall man with a dapper appearance. A legendary unicorn with a very unique personality indeed. Usually spotted with or without glasses.
This man will casually throw big words because he has a vast vocabulary. These types of individuals will look smart even when not speaking.
Emo-lectual females can have similar traits such as big vocabularies but are usually shy. They can be seen with or without glasses. They appear to be demure but will challenge you in a friendly debate any time of the week.
