Being emo doesn't mean being depressed, suicidal or hating the world. It just means that you're more passionate than most other people. The word itself comes from the word 'emotional' and is used to describe someone who feels more passionately than most other people do. All of us are emo at least some of the time.
Wow, that kids really emo. He got really upset over nothing.
I love that emo kid's poetry, its so passionate and deep.

While little known, 'emo' is short for emotional. One can be emo, while portraying /any/ emotion, though the word is usually not used to represent any other emotion than sadness; agony; mental pain.
This word generally comes with a negative connotation, especially when someone is labeled it by outstanding parties, rather than claiming it for his or her self.
A harsh definition of an emo person is someone who cuts his or her body, out of desperation. While people do this on occasion, most of them are likely only looking for attention in the form of scars marking up their bodies. A truly emo person would not want anyone to know about his or her negative thoughts.
One who claims to be emo likely listens to music that portrays these dark emotions through its lyrics and sometimes instrumentation.
'Emo' can also be used to describe this type of music. An example of an emo, or emo-influenced, band is Hawthorne Heights.

Emos are stereotyped as people who have dark hair (usually black) that covers most of their face, they wear black eyeliner,black nail polish,converse,skinny jeans or"girl pants",&tight shirts(usually band t's).People think they listen to bands considered to be"emo"&think emos are depressed all the time&are suicidal&self-harm..Totally untrue.Not all emos are like that.Emos are people who feel emotions very strongly.Hint: emo=emotion.Whether it be happy,sad,mad, etc.They listen to whatever they want to&they don't have to dress or look a certain way!Yes, a lot of them may look like a stereotypical emo kid, but they're just wearing what they want. Sometimes they express themselves through clothing and makeup.Others do the same thing.Also,not all emos cut.Some do,some don't.Cutting(one of the many forms of Self-Harm),beingsuicidal,writing,going off alone,anything else you all would label as"emo"behaviors,they do it as a way to express their emotion or release what they feel&just because someone cuts it doesn't mean they're emo(people do it to cope with depression, just like people use alcohol to cope with it,and they need help.So next time you hear of someone harming themselves,think twice before you call them"a whiny emo fag"or something because that's what bullies do and we all need to stop bullying).Not all emos listen to"emo"bands and singers and wear dark clothing all the time and darkmakeup and shitand are depressed all the time. Stop stereotyping people.
Me: "If you all can't see what emo is by reading my definition, then I don't know what to do.
Two things I'd like to say though:
1.) Stop stereotyping people.
2.) Stop bullying emos...And don't just stop bullying emos. Stop bullying gays, people with disabilities, people you all label as 'nerds', people who self harm...Stop bullying EVERYONE. You don't know what people are going through. Their lives are hard enough and they don't need you to make it worse because you could drive them to suicide (which isn't funny AT ALL)."
