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 Emomug. One of the single most threatening and terrifying things ever to walk the earth, right up there with ManBearPig.It is rumored that there main breeding grounds are Hot Topics, but this has yet to be researched. They also have a fatal weakness to good music. There have actually been numerous instances of them melting after hearing songs from awesome bands like Sublime.

Get the emomug. 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 Emomug. 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.

Get the emomug. Contrary to popular belief, "Emo" does not mean the cutting of one's wrist, nor is it a style. It doesn't represent someone sitting in a corner, crying, or angst-filled teenagers. It was originally a style of music, known as "Emotive Hardcore" or "Emotional Hardcore". Modern society has turned it into both a way to dress and a stereotype, sadly. Many people think it means emotional. That is slightly correct, but it really stands for "emotional" or "emotive" hardcore. If "Emo" really was Emotional, everyone would be "Emo", considering we've all shown emotions before. The word Emo shouldn't even exist, considering its past.
An example of how modern society uses "Emo":
"Emo fags, cutting their wrists." "Go cry in a corner, Emo."
"Emo fags, cutting their wrists." "Go cry in a corner, Emo."

Get the Emomug. 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.

Get the Emomug. 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!
