A subculture in which you can see people wearing lots of black, ripped clothing with black hair, eyeliner, and piercings. They do not seem to care what other people think a lot of the time and wear lots of dark clothing. They generally have an aura of depressiveness and/or angst about them and can be antisocial all of the time or sometimes because of their nature or personal experiences in their past. Emo music is generally music that has an underlying message of hating oneself, or hating what they have become or talking about death, self harm, or other forms of pain. It is typically a bit softer than hard rock, but more hardcore than pop or easy listening rock. Emos also typically self harm themselves, mainly because they are of the mindset that they hate themselves. Obviously not every emo self harms, and not every emo self harms for that reason, but it is very common.
An emo should NOT be mistaken as the same thing as a goth. Goths wear lots of vampirical dress, and are generally more interested in the evil, satanic sort of thing. Emos are upset at themselves or the world and are closed off, they aren't necessarily unfriendly though, lots of emos I know are very nice, but they are typically not the type to be all outgoing and bubbly.

I'm an emo, I wear thick eyeliner and I cry alone in my room everyday, and if you have a problem with me then leave because I have been through enough hell to deal with you.

Get the Emomug. A word heartless people use to either describe themselves (which may actually make them just attention whores) or people who are "controversial" in their beliefs(that makes the person using emo an idiot, a bigot, and a person whom we can only describe as a mini me of Donald trump, easily hated, could be even easier murdered)
Person 1: I'm such an emo, I cry and cut twenty times a day. (Liar)
Person 2: Who cares about that emo kid? He thinks Fetty Wapp is stupid.

Get the Emomug. An emotional person who is melancholic about his/her life.
Sometimes it's because of being broken-hearted, depressed, pessimistic and also being so cynical.
