A whiny, attention whore who likes to pretend they are more deep and tortured than they actually are. They are often confused with goths due to a similar aesthetic but there is a key difference: emos want to kill themselves and goths want to kill everyone else.
That emo is cutting his wrists, not due to real mental illness and depression or an inability to cope, but to get attention and seem special.

Get the Emo mug.How to be emo:
Go out to the drugstore and buy some cheap hair dye. You're gonna need black, and if you want to look more emo, buy dark purple or dark red. Or maybe a neon color. Put streaks in random as hell places. There's the color. Now, cut your bangs into a long diagonal fringe, covering about 1/3 of your face on that side. make sure your fringe is longer than the rest of your hair if you're a guy, and if you're a girl, your bangs should be at least half the length of the rest of your hair.
There, now you've got the hair. Now, go one to make-up. You're gonna need eyeliner. A lot of it. Now, put it on. When you think you have enough, you will need more. then for eyeshadow, choose either a dark color, or a bright color.
For clothes, you're going to need a studded belt. You need skinny jeans, skin tight. Or tighter. Then, go to Hot Topic, buy a few band shirts, and while you're there, look at other band shirts, and write them down. That's what music you'll be listening to until you get over whatever you're sad about. Make sure you have converse!!
Then, the attitude. Obviously, you have to be sad all the time. Don't eat, and cut yourself.
...
Now, if you think I'm serious, you're ridiculous. I guess I'm classified as emo, and I do few of these things. I streaked my hair neon orange, it's naturally black. I do usually wear dark clothes. But Seriously, don't be a poser. Emo's aren't always fucking depressed.

Get the emo mug.a group of people seriously overused in the mainstream of the 21st century
emos usually wear eyeliner or other dark makeup, but not always
skinny jeans and converse are also labled 'emo' but aren't just for emos
yes, emos usually have a sidebang covering one of their eyes
hair is not always a shitty black color or greasy
emo music is anything that holds meaning to you, either lyrics or sound
emo is a cultural innovation that came after emo music
deep, crypitc poetry and music no ones heard of before are common
slitting your wrists isn't really 'emo' but an attempt to feel anything other than your emotional pain
i agree that sweaters are mostly for fags and old people
people who are emo are usually just people who are trying to be different but people followed their trend
people who make fun of emos are usually just scared of being revealed as the emos they are
not all emos are sad all the time
emos arent all pussys
my chemical romance is a retarded band that is definitely not emo

Get the Emo mug.Emo is a genre of music.
It tends to be simalar to Rock/Punk/Metal.
Emo isnt about being sensitive or anything, emo's are just people who listen to this music.
Emos are not gay, depressing, suicidal, or stupid as people say they are!!!!!!!!
Emo's are actually decent people!
