A group of people who seem to have forgotten that children are starving to death in third world countries.

Emo can mean a lot of things, & as with any label, it is just one word trying to desribe something much bigger, so it's not strictly one thing or another, & it's meaning changes over time.
Originaly, emo was a music scene in the 90s & short for "emotive" now Emo is more generaly accepted to be short for the word "emotional" which is not to say one is more correct but that the word "emo" has changed over time.
1. A music genre of a typicaly melodramatic, not always depressing but often emotional rock genre, or a softer version of hard-core rock. Describes bands like MCR.
2. A type of indavidual, generaly a teen, who is very emotional. They may or may not listen to "emo" genre & may or not follow the "emo" style (black hair covering one eye, tight dark clothing, wrist bands...) they typicaly wear alot of black but don't have to, but are troubled indaviduals, often with a mood disorder &/or alot of abuse in their past. Some emos cut themselves or self-mutilate, but not all do. some are suicidal, but they don't have to be.
Alot of people would classify someone as "emo" who really is more "poser," or trying to "be" emo, or any other subculture, in order to get attention. (pretending to cut, making a point of wearing "emo" clothing...) This does NOT go for all emos.
3. Anything particularly dark or emotional. Any writing that is particularly anxty or talks about loss, depression, feeling of being alone or differant. The same goes for any form of artistic expression.

Emo is a word of many definitions and its about time there was a non biased opinion up here.
1) A variety of music, generally perceived as having depressing or emotional lyrics and sometimes including references to hell, satan, death and other generally frowned on topics. Not to be confused with heavy metal or death metal, emo has a gentler guitar solo, however it has been known to mix itself with other dark varieties of music.
Well known bands that include themselves in an emo stereotype would be Paramore and MCR.
2) Emo People
It is commonly understood that there are two types of "emo" people.
Type A - the emotional
A person who is well known to self harm and promote other destructive activities with suicide being related to them often. A common misconception of emotionals is that they are lonely people. In reality an emotional can belong in any stereotype and have a social circle of any size. They can also keep their self harm a secret or choose to have it well known. They are often considered to be attention seeking and depressing, with tendancies to write lyrics or poems themed with death and love and strong desires to sit in dark corners.
Type B - the "emo faggot"
The "emo faggot" is the least liked variety of emo. Generally known to wear tutu's, skinny jeans and MCR T-Shirts they are easily spotted in a crowd and receive a lot of abuse from other stereotype gangs. This stereotype is now expanding into a new era with the group known as scene kids.
Emo faggots tend to either despise the term "emo" or treasure it, their opinion can base itself on their mood, their company or the time, date or weather.
They are also well known to pursue hobbies such as photography, metal or "emo" music listening and the aforementioned poetry and lyric writing.
The stereotype is generally shunned by other members of society and the "emos" themselves tend to blame society for their state of minds.
Their future is indefinite, however elderly emo's have yet to be sighted in public areas. Search teams have been sent out but currently they have produced no hard evidence to suggest that this mythical species exists.
Therefore we can optimisticly assume that "emos" eventually do, in time, reach a more stable mentality. We can also pessimisticly assume that they all die, but the question will only be answered in a half decent fashion after many people who know not very much, write very long books on the subject, and eventually people who know a lot more ignore the books and grow tired of the question, resultinh in them guessing an answer that we shall all assume is correct.

Sook, Cry Baby, Cutter.
Emos sook about dying.
most the time, emos are only emos to get into that scene. there are people out there that are much worse off.
my friend is having his third round of cancer. he may not even make it through. he has lost his leg, and is still outgoing chemotherapy. he does not cut, and doesnt die his hair black!! he is the happiest person when your with him, and hes and awesome bloke. take that for an example.
grow the hell up. emos go nowhere in life. live life to the full and stop sooking.
dont kill yourself, dont cut yourself.
read the bible or something! turn your life around! you can possible be a normal person!

an Emo is a person who dresses close to a gothic, and cuts their selves. they think it is more specific. but seriously, depression is made up by the world, if you never knew you were depressed, you woudlnt act that way. your fine.

Short for emotional. There is also the music label "Emo", and that too is also emotional. Emos can be straight, gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Emos aren't necessarily weird because they're different from you. Some emos dress like goths. It really doesn't matter about what you wear. It's all about how you act. ALSO: If an someone cuts him/herself, and they're only doing it for attention, THEY ARE NOT EMO. I've cut myself, not for attention though. It felt better than crying. Mainly it's a label. Other people may label you, or you can label yourself. Some emos are suicidal. Some are just emo because they have the mental illness called depression. Don't judge emos, they don't deserve it.
Online:
Emo: I feel so sad today... Why does this always happen to me?! It seems like nothing good ever happens to me!! *cries*
A happy, cheerful, maybe preppy person: Ah, today sucked. Oh well. There's always tomorrow!! *smiles cheerfully*

The term Emo is now non existant. There was a time when if you wore womens clothes and acted as if you were on a period other people would laugh at you. Attention seekers saw this as a way to get attention and joined in wearing black and talking about how sensative they are and which films they cried at at the weekend. They also spend a lot of their time in town gathering like dirty vampires.
Naturally like sheep people have just followed the fashion and now most people are 'Emos' or they think they are.
At the start if you were an emo you were trying to be different and personally all I see is a bunch of zombies that look and dress the same.
Being an Emo is no longer how you are, it is just fashion.
