It's a word that recently seems to have lost all meaning. It is not music. It is not a style of how people dress. It is not people who cut themselves. It is not a watered down style of goth. It is a almost meaningless word like nice. It is a word that was poked, prodded, overused and left to rot.

Get the Emo mug.if all of u think that emo is short for emotional then u r all emo. every one has emotions and get emotioinal. emos are comfortable with showing their emotions unlike the rest of you who are too pussy to show your emotions. GROW THE FUCK UP! so leave us "EMOS" alone. and for thoes of u who think that My Chemical Romance is emo u are greatly mistaken. they are the best band and are great at what they do. so leave them alone. they actually help to save peoples lives.
everyone is free to express themselves emos actually do it!
and me, C, i'm "emo", an honor student and my best friend is a cheerleader so what now!

Get the EMO mug.It does not mean to cut your wrists or wear skinny jeans or have side bangs. To cut your wrists means your depressed, to wear skinny jeans is along the lines of clothing and fashion, and having side bangs is about hair. Being Emo, is not possible because Emo is a music genre, meaning "Emotive Hardcore" and last that I have heard, people can not be a music genre

Get the Emo mug.An emo kid (emphasis on kid as it is also a music genre) is a person who is oveerly sensitive or emotional. they may wear dark clothing and hav hair that covers most of their face. they probably don't want to be labelled, but people do so anyway.
Fake emo kid: omg i h8 my life im going to go slit my wrists and re-apply my eyeliner!
Real emo kid: *dancing to music* omg i love this song! today is going so well ~half an hour later~ I hate this its so gay life is getting really frustrating now!

Get the emo mug.(verb) Coined by me, to "emo out" is to kill oneself.
(noun) The music that the whiny, bratty teenagers who wear their 8 year old sister's jeans, forget how to wash their hair, and get picked on so much in band class that they pretend like their going to slit their wrists but don't have the guts to actually go through with it, "enjoy." Of course, being scene kids (lovers of emo), they don't actually enjoy the music.
They listen to music written by others like them because the grease from their unwashed hair seeps into their ears and clogs the passages, making it impossible for any noise to get past, other than the voices of other wankers like them.

Get the emo mug.1) A derogatory term for any demographic of people with attitudes, beliefs and taste in clothes and music that the speaker thinks he understands better than they do.
Use of the term 'Emo' will almost always preceed a lecture about 'Emo's in a way that grossly underestimates the number of demographics that there are.
It is incorrect to use the term for any demographic that the speaker already has a name for.
2) Any young person who dies their hair an unnatural colour
3) Any young male with a Lisa Stansfield hairstyle. One of only two demographics to call themselves 'Emo's but they have, fortunately, been mostly killed now.
4) 'Emotive hardcore' music or a fan thereof
5) Over the top whinging in any work of art.
6) A name now adopted by a variety of people that couldn't come up with a better name for themselves than 'Alternatives' in the late 1990s. Frequently accused of conformist hypocrisy, most consciously intend to conform to their peer group and have never pretended otherwise. The only consistent characteristic of such an emo is that they dislike sportswear. Some look good but most have no idea

1) "Are you an emo or a goth?"
"Eh? I'm wearing a Metallica T-shirt"
2) Nah you can't get in the cafeteria; there are bloody emos sat all over the floor
3) Kill that fuckin' emo faggot
4) I like 'emo' actually, yeah, but it's like, not what you think... (Interrupted by snoring)
5) No mate Evanescence do not rock they are whinging emo bollocks even goths wouldn't listen to
6) Please don't call yourSELF an Emo for Christ's sake. I'm getting called it because I hang around with you.

Get the Emo mug.stupid kids that are so synical and blind to the world's greatness that theyve never listened to the band primus and learned what true music is. I purposely set aside 5 minutes each day to bother emos because of this reason. if everyone would just listen to primus the world would be awesome.. and I'd have 5 minutes more each day.
steers and queers, steers and queers, where I come from there's steers and queers and you aint got no horns, boy..
