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 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!

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.

being emo doesnt mean that your fake or a pussy. being an emo means you suffer depresion brought on by a medical disorder. the most comon of these being bipolar.
suffering from depression clouds your thoughts and causes you to act or dress like an emo. people who are emo actualy believe that things like cutting and smokeing help eas the pain. dont make fun of them because it actualy does. their pain is in their mind so if they believe it helps it does.

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:"

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.

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.
