emo

The other 1200 definitions explain the term itself and its origins better than I can here, but it is important to note that the music and accompanying culture currently labeled "emo" by the press and popular media (as well as by the kids themselves) is essentially the same music and culture we all would have simply referred to as "alternative" a decade ago, and which has been shoveled into the media-created pigeonhole formerly occupied by the (arguably artificial) subgenre of "alternative" music known as "grunge" back in the '90s.
My sister's boyfriend swears he's too emo to watch MTV, but I know he got his Vans at the mall.

Emo

A metal fan. Nah I'm just kidding. Something that is wrongly used by non-metalheads to describe a metal fan. THERES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALHEADS AND EMOS, PRICKS!

It's also a subgenre of rock.
*uncool kid finds someone else listening to metal*
"Stop being emo and listen to good music like Drake"
*uncool kid gets punched super hard*
"DO NOT DISRESPECT METAL, ARE YOU HEARING ME OUT NOW YOU FUCKING PUNK?"

No-Emo

No-Emo is very similar to no homo. One will use "No-Emo" to state to another person that what they are about to say is to not be taken in a emo way.
Joe: Hey bro. How's life?

Steve: Dude, life has been, No-Emo, terrible lately. Allison broke up with me and then she sent me a text saying that she was pregnant and that i should go to an STD clinic.

Joe:That sucks...my life has been great!

Emo

A commercially manufactured fad that embodies no artistic merit in anyway whatsoever,

A prime example of social collectivism to compensate for a lack of individuality,

Also used by the weak minded to label things they so obviously don't understand,

A current source of homogenized, soulless and mediocre music within the mainstream,

It is also used to mock and greatly undermind those who self harm and and suffer from genuine depression.
