Emo

Often a word confused with a fuzzy red little creature who just likes to be tickled
Gjon- "Emo people are weird people that wear black and are really gay..."

Dan- "I thought he was the cute dude from sesame street... I'm pretty sure I saw his toy and it said to tickle him"

Gjon- "That's Elmo!"

Dan- "I've heard it both ways"

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

Emo

#1. Emo is a a genre of music...Like punk and rock
#2. The emo look. Fringed hair that's short and spikey at the back (Not always.) Tight jeans. T-shirts with names of rock bands. Chuck Taylor all-stars (Shoes) And their style is sometimes mixed up with the goth or punk looks.
#3. Well, unfortunaly, most morons think that being emo is about being extremely depressed and suicidal. Two words for you: NOT TRUE.
Just go to Wikipedia and type in 'emo' and read it. P.S This is where I got the info from.
