True emos cannot accept normal problems in their life and overblow the littlest issue. They have not learned that everyone else in the world is able to suck it up and solve their problems and they find that dwelling on their misery is a way to live. They ususally want to be classified at schools as "different" or "intelligent" or "mysterious". Usually, they come off as wimps that cannot deal with life. Many true emos will "try" to make it hidden but intentionally fail to further recieve attention, while getting negative attention and teasing.
A poser is truly more stupid than an emo, and pretends to not be able to deal with problems to gain attention. They are a type of attention whore. To mimic their closed-minded idea of an emo, they tend to cut themselves, usually in the radial or ulnar wrist arteries. They also tend to dress (what they would call different) but like a growing trend of kids who attempt to appear slovenly (dirty hair and shirts, makeup, etc.) They call themselves "nonconformists" while not realizing that they are joining a growing number of conformists. Posers tend to try to make it well-known that they are cutters and make an overly large show of their faked depression. Once they recieve teasing, they run off crying and screaming clichés. If they happen to recieve "comfort" (by a guillable idiot for sure) they cannot accept it and start complaining about everything under their delusion that someone cares to hear them whine, while not realizing that they are acting ridiculous.
Incidentally, an extremely large percentage of emos tend to have a good life and possibly better than most average American lives. It follows actually that the people that really do have it bad adapt to it and live with it. While people who have rich parents, lots of stuff, and a smooth life tend to not be able to accept small problems like breakups while the kids who have it bad have learned to handle their family members being murdered.

Event - minor break-up:
Emo: I only blame myself *sniff*
Poser: *sniff*Nobody understands...*proceeds to write meaningless junk and ends up getting more frustrated and cycle repeats*
Kid who has it bad: Who cares I really need to worry about making sure my baby cousin doesn't get killed by our alcoholic mother.

A pair of jeans and a haircut. See also: poser, desperate wannabe, freak, or sick attempt at trying to be cool.
"Hi, my name is depressed emo freak. I love black, slitting my wrist, being a homosexual, the usual. I like hot pink, skateboarding, pretending I'm a skateboarder, crying, and writing poems. I don't eat, and I live inside my room. People think I'm weird because I wear black nailpolish and dark, dark black eyeshadow, but really I'm just better than everyone else. I wish people could just understand my superiority. One of my favorite poems is the following: "I'm going to draw a picture, a picture with a twist; I'll draw it with a razorblade; I'll draw it on my wrist." --It really turns me on. I'm going to go write in my diary like a freak now."

Emo is a person who wants the world to feel bad for them. They dress like fags...no not even fags dress up that gay, and they attempt to look hardcore, even though most of the skinny little queers have never lifted up more than their gay glasses. They think the world is against them and that they wouldnt be missed if they committed suicide...truth is they probably wouldnt. Last of all they think they have all the problems, when really they have the weakest shit to complain about. They are pussies that dont hhave the ability to stand on their own two legs and do something better for the world. They instead listen to queers scream like little girls while they cut themselves.

Someone who is depressed,temperamental,or just don't have any friends.Not ALL people like this are emo,but most are. Most people don't like emos because they're jealous of the privacy and style emos have.Emos,DON'T all cut their wrists,but I think some do....
EX 1: Emo guy-"I can't believe my mom got shot!"
EX 2--1: Emo guy-"GET OUT OF MY FACE!GO AWAY!!"

A cross between styles mosher and goth but more shallow and false than both. Say they like noisy music that shouts about how much it hates the world and people in general, but probably don't really. Dress in sort of goth/mosher clothes that can sometimes be ok, but usually really not. Clothes are usually covered in skulls. Apparently thay cut themselves, but I can't see how thats turned into a style, and I have never met ann emo who does.
AT A CONCERT
Emos dancing like zombies to crap music, dressed in their most grungy clothes pretending to be drunk.

Usualy a prep that feels like they need more attention so they make themself more noticable(aka cutting wrists and wearing different clothing) and talk about how much they hate themselves.
Also have destroyed all other styles that are dark in some way.

emo just means emotional. nothing more so don't take it as that. Some people take it as "cutting, crying, being there own person". more people who think that "emo" means that are just wanting to be noticed or try to be cool in there own way. some people just make up stupid stuff about it and think that it will get them what they want and more "emo" friends. PEOPLE, FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!! IT JUST MEANS EMOTIONAL mentally or physicly
Jack:oh man, philip you are so emo! will you be my new friend?
Philip: (mental note) "hmm, ii have finally got another friend. good thing i painted on these cool red cut lines!!!"(real time) um, i guess we can be friends and listen to depressing music :(.
now for what it really means!
Jack: dude, why are you crying?
Philip:My girlfriend dumped me
Jack: dude, im sorry, that sucks
Philip: *crying* im sorry for being so emo over it.
