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

1. Despite what many people may think, emo is a genre of music
2. It can also be a synonym for scene kids
3. But most people refer to it as those goth kids who cut themselves, when really thats a pretty good name for them (no offense to you "emo" people)
4. Short for emotional

Emo

I see how many of you judge 'emos', and I'm sick of it. I mean, yes, some of them are just attention thirsty teenagers, but some are not.

"Emos" are people who would rather feel physical pain rather than emotional pain. I know it sounds stupid, but as a teenager, we all grow up differently and feel things in so many different ways. To one person, fumbling over a sentence for a moment is nothing, but to another...it could be something they think about all day, full of regret. I agree, that that is overly sensitive, but it's just they way some people are. There is no reason to hate on them.

Just let people be who they are and don't stereotype.
Emo is a state of mind, not a fasion statement.

Gamer B, "Chill out man, smoke some weed, don't be such an emo fag."
Gamer A, "You are an idiot, and you are an unreliable lazy fuck."
Gamer B, "Whatever dude, go slash your wrists with an emo knife."

Emo

Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style.

Emo has been criticized for its androcentrism and the tendency of most emo bands to relegate women to the role of muse or heartbreaker in their lyrics
