An alternative style based on "emotional hardcore" music, that all other groups hate. It doesn't matter though because they hate themselves too. We can all agree on hating emos!

Something that has become so made fun of, with people that scrape their arms on tree branches and are consequentially called "emo," that those who are in serious, self-harming trouble are passed off as simply "emo" instead of majorly or manically depressed.
Person 1: Aha ha ha you are emo you cut your wrist!
Person 2: On broken glass, dumbfuck.
Person 1: HE'S EMO!!!

A genre of rock music that emerged in the 1990s and got popular in the underground music community through bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz and Mineral among others. The genre is characterized by introspective, confessional lyrics, emotive vocals and indie rock-esque instrumentation.
With the beginning of the 21st century, emo started to die out as people were mislabeling pop-punk bands such as My Chemical Romance and Dashboard Confessional as emo. However, the genre has seen a sort of revival in recent years, with bands like The Hotelier, Sorority Noise and Foxing getting more popular in indie circles.
The word is also used to describe a certain lifestyle, however this is not related to actual emo music.
