emo

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
prep: haha emos are gay
emo: *preps nose getting broken* am i still gay now?!

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.

emo

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.
