emo

Emo is a complex beast. It came from the late 80s in the form of Rites of Spring, and slowly changed. From there it became Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, and Cap'n Jazz. But as the remaining ones of these bands slowly changed the style of their music, they were still associated with the term and bands that were like them got the name. Fall Out Boy could be considered emo because of the fact that Pete Wentz admitted something along the lines of if there wasn't The Get Up Kids, there would be no Fall Out Boy. But The Get Up Kids still are not anything like old, decent emo. It's just that genres change, they move on.

But now people who listen to this new MTV emo adopted a fake personality. Make up, crying, pretending to be deep, wallowing in pain and crying because no one accepts them. They're annoying and fake. They are what most people call emo now, and they tainted the good name of Rites of Spring.
Emo: WAAAH MY GIRLFRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME! Time to cry while listening to Dashboard Confessional and cutting my wrist. The world doesn't understand me!

Emo

Emos do not always wear dark clothing. We usually like dark colors so that is what we wear. Some of us are secretly emo so some people don't know that we are hurting. Emos are not over emotional and do not seek attention. We do not always cut, cutting is a stage and some stay in that stage. Emo is not how you dress, or how you treat your body, or how you act. Emo is a state of pain. Yes, most of us do have antidepressants or antianxiety medications. The thing that people don't understand is that when you cut, you are in so much pain that you are trying to release it or you feel you deserve pain. This word is more of a lifestyle/personality style. I hope this doesn't offend anybody as other people's definitions have offended me.
Technically, Demi Lavato is emo because she has cut, been through a lot of pain, has that edgy style where she wears her favorite colors that are usually dark.
