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.

Get the no emomug. emo kids fucking suck at life. just because someone is depressed, have suicidal tendencies, or cut themselves does not mean they are in the emo scene. emo kids have have tainted everything for people who actualy suffer from depression and do cut themselves. they do not self-mutilate for enjoyment they do it as a control issue as they feel they have no control in their life and the physical pain is all that they can feel at that time as they feel empty inside. they don't do it for attention as emo kids do or to fit into a scene that has some of the most god awaful music(ie. blood brothers). fuck emo kids up the ass with the knife they use to cut themselves with.
emo - verbalize that they are deprssed, hate life and try to show their cuts to the world with a saddened look to their face
depressed person - don't verbalize anything, hide their cuts and act like nothings wrong

Get the emomug. 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 emomug. A whiny little bitch feeling sorry for themselves, hates the government (with a passion), wears retartedly tight clothes, especially pants and often wears a ridiculous amount of checkered stuff. (Dont forget the half-bleached hair). They serve no purpose and should all be sent to a remote isolated island so they can cry and cut themselves to Fall Out Boy, Panic? At The Disco and My Chemical Romance (among others). Usually will never admit being emo and will become increadibly defensive and occasionally violent when called emo (usually embarassing themselves because they have a blood loss due to too much cutting).
