A poseur, someone who has followed the latest trend of pop-punk style bands that have been given the label 'emo'. Always wear the same as each other (tight jeans, tight tops, glasses, leopard print, converse ect), always listen to the same bands (the used, funeral for a friend, panic! at the disco ect), always have the same hair (dyed black or blonde, floppy emo fringe with layers AND/OR extentions ect).
A FAD - as soon as it goes out of fashion emo will never have existed and chavs can go back to being chavs like they were before polka dots came back to 'new look'. After all who was emo before emo became fashionable?

A subclass of music that is overly emotional (and not really emotional i.e. "posers"). The members of the band dye their hair black, wear extremely tight girl-jeans, comb the hair over one eye, wear wool scarves, and wear shirts with very stupid designs.
Known for their emotionalness, extraordinary ability to think their life sucks no matter what, hairstyle, and wearing all black.
EMOS ARE NOT ROCKERS/METALHEADS/GOTHS IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
They are often confused simply for wearing band shirts and all black.
goths hate everyone, emos hate themselves.
rockers listen to rock, emos listen to emo crap
metalheads beat the shit outta people and have long hair, emos hurt themselves and have gay haircuts
SO DON'T CALL THE LOCAL ROCKER GROUP AT YOUr SCHOOL EMOS

Okay. Look fucktards. Emo is short for emotional. Everybody is Emo. It's typically pointed at kids, mainly ranging in age from 13-22 because of hormone imbalances, who act "emo"tional and wear dark colors because they were individualized. So, now they think they are supposed to act that way. Good job judgmental assholes. It's your fault "emo's" cut and wear dark color. You don't like it? QUIT FUCKING SAYING STUPID SHIT TO THEM, DUMBFUCKS! How retarded are you? Realleh? Seriousleh? You want to get all mad at the "emo's" for acting like they do when it's your fault they're like that! That's stupid.
"Over Emotional Kid": "I hate my life..."
Some Judgmental Dumbass: "Quit being 'emo!'"
"Over Emotional Kid": *curls up and cuts their wrist"

AS the meaning of the word used in modern times.
An Emo is GENERALLY a extremely depressive person who broadcasts these feelings in extreme ways to grasp for attention.
The majority of "emos" wear your stereotypical tight black clothing with a mix of dark cold colors like purple and blue and on the off occasion red and pink. Also sporting the current hair style of bangs over one of both eyes with longer collarbone length hair for males and long hair for the females. Also usually darker tones, presumable dyed if the natural coloring wasn't dark enough.
Accessories usually include some kind of music device. (CD player covered in stickers and black marker, small oddly brightly colored mp3 players with ear buds so as to not interfere with their hair.)A personal journal and some kind of form fitting hooded zipper jacket.
Some also wear makeup. nothing too drastic usually sticking to the dark colors again, eyeliner and mascara mostly, for males and females. Some go as far as to use glitter to draw attention to the eyes.
A moderate amount of "emos" cut to "show the world their inner pain." This would sometimes be the skin scraping enough to scab, *supposed "Posers"* Or to the depth that stitches may be required. *Authors personal opinion, these "cutters" should be locked up in a safe facility.*
Some "emos" may be expressive enough about their feelings to show them as expressively as the prophets of ancient times. Screaming, rantings, crying, sobbing, and so on in the negative and angry emotions.
The combination of all the things said above make "emo" an easy target for modern society to scorn. which seems to be the ultimate goal of most "emo" people.
*Side note: Emo's do not have a set age, height, weight, or race limitation. The author in fact knows a family of "emos". though it is odd that the mother has followed the vast majority of "attention Trends" for the past ten to fifteen years. since the birth of her first child. "Country Girl", "Harley Enthusiast", Feminist, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, and now "emo/cutter". TO which she posted bulletins about the last three changes on her myspace. Could be something to that.*

EMoSOlja : I'm into dark stuff man. It helps me show my pain.
Commoner: Like the a Goth? Goths are Dark but pretty heartless.
EMoSOlja : NO I am NOT a GOTH! I have feelings! I WANT you to feel my emotions like I do!
*sorry horrible example. I'm out of descriptiveness. yeah I'm not sure that's a word but it covers my meaning nicely.*

The emo subculture originated in the late 1980's-1990's. It started off meaning "Emotive" or "Emoticore" refering to a type of hardcore punk. The original emo bands were ones such as Rites of Spring (who claim their fans started the term emo), and Embrace.
During the late 1990's faded from it's place in the mainstream, but did exist. One of this time's signifigant emo conerstones was Weezers album "Pinkerton".
From 2000 on emo came back (harder than ever!). When emo came back, it's true meaning was somewhat lost and certain fasets of the true emo culture changed. "Emo" now is said to stand for "emotional" and many bands that emo people listen to are a very washed down, pop, sad version of punk. Such modern emo bands are Dashboard Confesional, and Further Seems Forever. With it's change of meaning modern emo's act very emotional. Often they show signs of depression, wearing black and having a very pessimistic view of the world.

Person 1: God I hate these fake emo people!
Person 2: They aren't fake emo, they are modern emo.
Person 1: They still annoy the crap out of me!
Person 2: Me too.
