Emo

a person usualy between the age of 11 and 18 who wears tight jeans and brand hoodies

they are usualy from middle class white backgrounds and decide to become an emo because
A) they want to fit in (for some reason)
B) something very minor hapened in their life (like breaking up with some guy/girl) which they make a big deal of

C) they are confused

despite coming from semi privelaged backgrounds emo's usualy promote their life being shitty and hell and want to die

however as there is no real dramam in their lives they simply do this to get attention

The most hardcore Emo's are simply "pussy Goths"
"im an emo my life sucks kill me now WAAAAA"

"dude if you want to die it would contradict you being an emo cos then you would b happy"

"uh?"

"never mind, you baby"

"WAAAAA!"

Emo

An emotionally unstable person. They don't have to wear black or cut themselves. Those are just stereotypes. They can be your next store neighbor and you would probably never know. Mostly, they are emo, because of bipolar issues and nothing seems to make them happy. Even Marilyn Monroe was emo.
That girl must be emo, because she always looks so sad. (I don't know, I had to fill in the example!)

Emo

Emo is a very misused term, but very accurate when describing a group of teenagers, young adults, or adults who particularly favor a certain genre of music, a style, or anything else seen to a normal (used very loosely) person as dark and goth.
"Wow, she really likes Black Veil Brides and My Chemical Romance. She's probably emo."

"That person is so emo they threw their phone when Northern Downpour played by Panic! At The Disco."

"crankthatfrank looks extremely emo."

Emo

Emotive Hardcore is an offshoot from hardcore punk which formed in the late 80s and was played throughout the 90s. The term "emo" was coined to such bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace and other bands with a more melodic hardcore sound and expressive lyrics, although some later bands experimented with a softer indie alternative sound as well. You can also say it was a term to describe the "sound" of the DC area of the time. However, if you ask any of the members, they would highly disapprove of this term and most likely mock it.
Emo is not dying your hair black, piercing your lip, and it's certainly not cutting your wrist, that's just a trend. Emo is a music genre that started in the 90s and ended in the 90s.

Emo bands:
-Rites of Spring
-Embrace
-Fugazi
-Gray Matter
-Cap N' Jazz
-Jawbox
