Emo

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

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.

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!
