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

A style defined by people who listen to mellowed-out punk rock. Usually seen with striped arm warmers and oversized band tees, but sometimes blend in and wear ‘normal’ clothing.

not a fucking depressed guy. most of the time they like bands like Pierce The Veil, twenty one pilots, MCR, Fall Out Boy, and found often wearing dark clothes and a lot of eyeliner/guyliner. Many have taken on the habbit of the game Neko Atsume. Never says theyre a "true fan" of anything unless they can have a lyric battle of the artist/band with another. Obsessed with youtubers, particularly gamers and therorists.

A subculture mainly consisting of younger people who listen to rock, metal, punk, etc. They get lot's of hate and are called fake a lot, but I can assure you, they aren't depressed because they are emo, they are emo because they are depressed. Actually, you don't have to be depressed to be emo. They mostly turn to their music to cope with their issues, for the lyrics are deeply meaningful. If people would stop making fun of these bands because they have a different sound than others and listen to the lyrics and pay attention to them, you'd find the meaning. Emos usually have a darker style of band shirts, skinny jeans, and Vans with hints of neon, and the style is less for attention and more for finding more emos like themselves. The most common emo stereotype is that they all are suicidal and cut themselves, which is extremely untrue.
