(generally)middle-class bored teenagers who are morbidly attracted to concepts of misery, suffering and death and who wear black or dark coloured clothes to reflect their ethos that 'life is so very depressing when you think about it'. They often have pierced lips, dark makeup, and invariably have long hair, mostly straightened and black, covering part of their face, perhaps to aid their introspective tendencies. They try to stand out but ironically have formed a taxonomy of emos (who all look the same.) Male emos are often bisexual, or pertain to be,kissing each other, because it shows the extent of their perceived emotional scope. They listen to special emo music of which the lyrics concern self-hatred, complaints against the shallowness of other people etc. etc. However, there are varying degrees of emo-ness as some peole (semi-emos) like the dark dress sense, but can't be assed with the whole 'cut me now' syndrome, and these are emos a non-emo could probably have a conversation with.
Emo girl: you guys kiss!
*Emo boys kiss*
Emo girl: ok, stop now
*Emo boys continue*
*Emo girls giggle* Emo girls: look at them! What a turn on!

An abnormally depressed individual. Individuals of this community dress in a more lighter type of Goth style. Emo even has its own music style which has soft guitar play, and lyrics that make the listener feel sad, unusual, unloved, and often suicidal. In some cases, Emo people have a tendency to cut an area of their body in order to distract their artificail depression with pain. usually whines about their misunderstood life style, Emos are more easily spotted as a group.

An emo is a person who falls in love with someone he or she hardly knows and when said person does not return the feeling, he or she will fall into a state of extreme depression or "emoness". When in this state the person will be utterly convinced that they have the worst life of all time. Forgetting of course about third world country’s. These emo’s sometimes dress in distinctive black clothing and wear way too much makeup. They also tend to have reeeeally dirty hair. Some emo’s will appear as perfectly sane people and will be pleasant to be around. Until they talk about how sad they are. Some people are just sad. The emo sad can be singled out. You will know emo sad when you suddenly want to kill the person because they won’t shut up and stop whining.

First of all, everyone who wrote that Emo was a type of punk is pissing me off. Emos ARENT metal, punk or hardcore. Emos bands lyrics are about suffer not about power. I think emofags are tired to be call homosexual, fags, pussies and all so they try to develop their styles in something more respected. But sorry guys is doesnt work. STOP TO STOLE OUR MUSICC
Emos cried when they drop ''bacon pizza'' and their new pretty black n pink skinny pants. So if you reconize urself in this exemple, ur emo.
