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

1: Short for a genre of music, emotive rock. It is a style of music and sometimes clothing.
2: A label that's mainly used on posers who killed the entire genre.
1: Jimmy Eat World is a pretty good emo band.

2: "Emo": I cut myself, cry because of every little thing, write in a paper diary, and wear my hair over my face so I must be emo!
Me: Eff you! You're just a poser. Ugh, wemos. They're everywhere.

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 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.
