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.

Get the emomug. The term "Emo" is used as counterculture; it is an abreviation of the word "emotional". Emo it's defining not only an attitude, but also a fashion that are coming from emocore (emo music). Emocore is a combination between hardcore and punk music which was very popular in Washington DC in the late 80's. The emo culture continued to develop between '90 and '00, reaching the height of its popularity today.

Get the Emomug. 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.
Bob: Dude I heard that Jeff cuts himself, hes so emo.
Jim: *slaps bob* shut the fuck up he's depressed not emo
Jim: *slaps bob* shut the fuck up he's depressed not emo
