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 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?"

Emo

A word that used to hold meaning as a music genre. however, it has recently become more of a hate slang used to describe people who act/dress a certain way.
Like the "punks," very few people use emo to talk about music these days. this is because that genre is dead, and never coming back. we are now left with a new hate word created by preppy bitches on their period and gangbangers. way to go society.
way to go MTV for destroying the meaning of emo.

emo

Fair game for a large group people who feel compelled to be awesome and point out the obscene amounts of definitions for this article.
Quadruple-digits aren't a big deal; considering that three of those digits are probably people like you.
"Oh SNAPS! 'Emo' has over a thousand definitions. I must point this out to the UrbanDictionary community! As though the people who intend to read them all haven't noticed. C:"
