A word that has a retardedly large number of definitions on UrbanDictionary, almost all of which are biased towards negative views of emos.
Person 1: Dude, what's an "emo" exactly?
Person 2: I don't know, let's look it up on UrbanDictionary...
Person 2: This one says it's a horrible person who cuts themselves, wears bad clothes, and listens to shitty music...
Person 1: But this one says that it's people who are posers and just think girls will do them if they are more "in touch with their emotions"?
Person 2: And then this one says that it's people who are just trying to fit into a group of dumb people who think they are non-conforming when they are really conforming to just another subculture of society...
Person 1: And this one says they are just ridiculous pussies with small penises... And this one that says Emos are the one thing that every other group can agree on... hating them...?
Person 2: This doesn't sound like something anyone would want to be... Where'd you hear this word again?
Person 1: Some guy at school told me to stop being emo...
Person 2: ...

Get the Emo mug.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.*

Get the Emo mug.Basically, NO ONE knows what emo is anymore. Some say it's people who want to kill themselves/hate life/etc., but those are just people who, plainly, are depressed and upset with life. Doesn't mean they're emo. And there's also the emo dressing style. Seriously, what the hell? Just because you wear skinny jeans and black-rimmed glasses doesn't make you emo, either. As for me, I say that emo is a certain type of music, with meaningful lyrics about past mistakes and failed relationships with others, and emotions (any kind of emotion) Happy, sad, angry, jealous, etc. But hey, who's right about the "word" emo now-a-days?

Get the Emo mug.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: They still annoy the crap out of me!
Person 2: Me too.

Get the emo mug.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"
