Emo

Emo is a genre of music, a type of pop-punk music, but with a softer, more mainstream and guitar-based sound. It is NOT a type of person/style, as more commonly thought. "Emo" people can be classified under "scene", which is basically the same thing.
Friend #1: "Did you hear My Chemical Romance broke up??!!"
Friend #2: "OMG, yes! I was so depressed when I found out... they were my favourite emo band."
Friend #1: "I know... I thought you should know." *frowns* "Have you heard of All-Time-Low? They're a pop-punk band, kinda like My Chemical Romance."
Friend #2: "Yeah, I've heard of them. Thanks ____!"

Emo

A person who cries on March 22nd, laugh uncontrollably while looking at milk and can't understand any lyrics from Fall Out Boy because shit, we don't understand why Patrick is singing like he got peanut butter in his mouth.

This could also go term by a person who only shops in Hot Topic and wear band merch.

An emo could be seen during daily sacrifices of getting MCR back because GODDAMN WE NEED OUR BOYS BACK, PLEASE GERARD I'M BEGGING YOU.
Person 1: hey... What the fuck are you doing?

Emo: *bloody hands and is drawing a pentagram with The Black Parade album in the middle while some random dude is tied up on a pole close to the pentagram crying because he shall be sacrificed for the sake of the reunion* ... nothing

emo

A word that has been given many meanings.
1. A sub culture in the category with punk, goth & scene.
They usually have black choppy hair & wear black, especially skinny jeans, they can wear colour & can have their hair a different colour, they prefer to be alone & listen to music (Genre: punk, metal, emo, ) All of these things are not limited & if an 'emo' says that they are then they are most likely a poser.

2. A genre of music, how I usually describe this is that it has guitar riffs, but instead of the usual edgy rock sound they sound more... soft...

Many people hate emo, many people defend it, many people are posers, many people don't understand,
emo is very mis-understood, & is not just someone who cuts themselves, it's a type of person, with specific unique preferences to the mainstream, someone different, & usually from my experience, people who carry out the emo style were previously depressed but got through it.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH scene
If you call a scene kid emo (or vice versa) you could very well offend them.
Of they could be sceno
Bully: Emo, emo emo, you stupid emo.
Emo: Is there a problem with that?
