Someone who listens to music with a deeper meaning and uses it to find themselves. Emos usually wear black and have a general dislike for other humans. Most emos like bands such as my chemical romance, panic! at the disco, fall out boy, falling in reverse, Green Day, paramore, all time low, bring me the horizon, and many others. Some emos can be found wearing heaven eye makeup, usually black eyeliner.
Person 1: OMG Emos are just gross suicidal freaks
Anyone smart: Educate yourself dumbass.
Anyone smart 2: Emo people are just like you but with better taste in music.

Get the Emomug. A young adult/teenager who cuts their wrists, arms, legs, etc.
The true emos are the one's that actually do the cutting because they have a lot of things in their life that seem to go wrong, and they are not always just the people who wear skinny jeans, scarfs, black side swept hair.

Word to the wise:
If you want to help your emotional friend stop cutting,
Don't: Threaten to tell someone, Tell them to stop cutting, Say that it makes them ugly.
Do: Be there for them, Hang around with them a lot and let them know you are there for them, Say how much you care for them, & Rather than saying to stop cutting do something about it.

Get the Emomug. A style of music relating to mostly underground bands, or music not popular to the self proclaimed 'in crowd'. Common listeners follow trends set by the lead singers of these bands, including skinny jeans, horn-rimmed glasses and band t-shirts. Incredibly false accusations of the term 'emo' include the opinions that people who listen to this style of music have mental disorders such as depression or bipolar depression, and that most all of them SI, or self injure, meaning they cut themselves.
Bands who produce 'emo' music include Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon and several other bands listed under the categories of 'screamo' or 'punk'. People often think the teens who listen to this music mimick the lyrics to the songs, which created the steryotyp that anyone wearing skinny jeans, horn rimmed glasses, black skin tight tops or have the 'emo hairstyle' (layered and teased, mulitcolored) go along are instantly emo.

Get the Emomug. I want to set the record straight of SO MANY PEOPLE being TERRIBLE to the stereotype of emo.
Emo does not mean you cut your self. It doesn't mean you wear skinny jeans, or tight shirts, or messed up shoes or greasy hair.
There are certain people in the world that don't care what others think of them too much, truly. They actually do like the color black, and while other people might not see their issues as important, somethings are backed with painful memories that are very important. just because their hair is black, or covers their face, doesn't mean they do it just for the sake of having it. A lot of people truly like the style.
A lot of emos ARE artistic, because most commonly being emo is when you're more in touch with yourself then other people your age. In fact, most of the people who are emo don't even classify themselves as emo becuase labels are not necessary.
If you cut yourself, it doesn't mean your emo, and if you don't it doesn't mean you aren't. The two things have nothing to do with each other!
Emo was originally short of emotional, in a musical genre sense. As it developed into a 'label', it means the same. A lot of emo people feel extreme emotions whether they be happy or sad.
I will admit there are emo posers, who cut themselves and dress for the sake of seeming badass, but some people seriously like the style!
Don't be mean about it, because what if I constantly stereoptyped and made fun of you? How would you feel?

Fake: Scratches wrists to make it look like they have scars, reads definitions on urban dictionary to find out how to be emo, goes around saying they're emo
Real: Dresses how they want, acts how they want, aren't influenced too easily, very in touch with who they are, a lot are very artistic and have real issues that are very important to them. or maybe the don't have issues, they're just a very in touch, artistic person
