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..

Get the Emo mug.A genre of music that appeals to most people, even though some people try to hide that they like it because they are afraid of expressing themselves as emos do. This music is semi punk music but of a softer tone, some popular groups are Taking Back Sunday, Death Cab for Cutie, and Hawthorne Heights. Also, a "group" of people who tend to dress dark, simalar to goths, but their clothes tend to be tighter and sometimes have more color, though mostly black is worn. They wear eye-liner and some wear eye-shadow, be them guy or girl. People like to make fun of these people but usually this is just a sign that they are insecure with themselves and who they are so they tend to lash out at those who are comfortable with expressing themselves, and lack these problems because they do not try to be something they are not. Emos hair styles are usually very odd, but nicely so... like mine. ^_^ Emos tend to cover their eyes or face with their long, beautiful bangs and usually keep it at an angle. This is very popular and for good reason. Emos rule, and one day they will rule YOU!

Get the emo mug.first off: the most fought over term in teenage fucking history.
emo is thought to be someone who wears tight pants and cries and blah blah blah. (see 46,000,000,000 other definitions)
emo isn't a fucking kid who cuts him/her self. that would be a mental person.
stop bashing people who simply like to wear darker colours or think that sometimes his/her life doesnt go quite according to plan. they have lives like you. let them do whatever the fuck they want with it.
oh, and ignore the kids that call themselves emo and try to cut themselves for attention- they'll get over themselves.

friend one: OMG look at that emo kid over there with the tight pants and black long hair!
friend two: eww... i'll bet nobody likes him and he goes home every night and cries and cuts himself.
friend one: come on, lets go to buy some more clothes and talk about how special we are!
