The cousin to the Goths, the shy Emo is an interesting and not very well documented species as they tend to hide in their nests. What we do know about them, however, is that they came in many different subspecies that have their own way of living.
It is a miscommunication through what scientists theorized as a translation error that Emos are sad pieces of shit that self harm and wallow in self sorrow all the time, but this is far from the truth. Yes one of the subspecies do tend to self harm and have a higher suicide rate, but there's many others that have happy and healthy lifes and just tend to use the Emo lifestyle.
The sad fact is though, that the Emo population has decreased do to their habitats, band concerts such as My Chemical Romance, being taken away, or more commonly referred to as 'disbanded.' They still have some mating sites like Hot Topic and Panic! At the Disco, but that doesn't change their alarming population change. Scientists theorize that one of the reasons is do to the miscommunication stated above.
When finding a mate to add to their friend group, the Emos use a special mating call that usually sounds like this:
'When I was a young boy...'
'The groom's bride is a...'
'Can you save my heavydirtysoul...'

"I feel bad for my little girl. She hides in her room and listens to *whispers* emo. I think she might be self harming or even suicidal."
"You're kidding, right? Just because she plays Fall Out Boy and Panic! At-"
"And the Pilots and Chemical Romances."
"Twenty One Pilots and My Chemical Romance. But just because of her music choice or her clothing style doesn't mean shit. Even then, crying to sad music or movies or whatever can be a good and healthy outlet if she is sad or depressed."

A person who over Green Day is overly sensitive, emotional, and full of angst, or who adopts a certain style characterized by dyed black hair, tight t-shirts and skinny jeans, etc. However, a person is no longer considered an Emo when they obtain a mortgage.

I woke up feeling totally emo hijacked this morning. I ended up listening to Bright Eyes all day and crying.

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.

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..."

Real Emo only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
