There is no pure definition for emo kid. Hard to believe? Well, take this from someone who has a heart and a mind.
Leave people who may fit this description the fuck alone. Not all people who "dress" or "look" like an emo is one. If we choose to look the way we do, that's just fine. Growing our hair out or wearing tight clothes, studs, stripes, scarves, what-the-fuck-ever doesn't mean we are trying to set a trend or be part of a group (UNLESS YOU ARE A POSER-WHICH CAN BE PICKED OUT VERY EASILY.) Our appearance is part of how we define ourselves and it's just based off of what we like.
We all encounter a source of pain in our lives, regardless of how terrible or abusive it may be, but that doesn't mean that the people who are hurting look emo or act emo.
Depression is not a joke and anyone is suseptible to it, even a bitchy little prep. All people have problems and make their own choices on how to deal with them.

I wear black, my hair is long and in my face, I can't leave the house without darkly lined eyes, my pants are deathly tight. How can you bill me for an emo kid when people in the 80's did the same thing? Does that make them emo as well?

a bunch of kids that are depressed because they want to conform to a non-conformist(just basically a lot of snotnosed attention seekers) subculture that is full of shitty music that trys to make a statement by singing about how they were all dumped because their emo(you know who you are) and think that their souls are tortured because they can afford a large amount of scarfs and plenty of wide rimmed spectacles who in many respects share a sort of likeness to the 1960s hippie culture only they tried to do something instead of wallow in self pity
emo:i want to cut myself because i want to make non-conformist statement by conforming to a group of complete and utter losers
me:you should be cutting yourself because of the shit you listen to
emo:crys and relalises his life is shit because of his decision to become emo
me:now you've got it
emo:kills self
me:hoorah one down, many to go
me:you should be cutting yourself because of the shit you listen to

A pussy piece of shit who has a good life but is too fucking retarded to see that. They usually wear tight clothes, cut themselves, hang around thrift stores, cry about nothing, cry in public, have hair that covers one eye, and are bisexual. They listen to pussy music, think they are better than everyone else, and talk about people behind their backs. They enrage and get beat up by metalheads,goths, and rockers.

Okay, so there are two very different definitions for the label 'emo'.
First version (usually used by non-emos): Emos are attention seekers who live regular lives like every other teenager in Britain but cannot handle the strain as well as everyone else. They say that they are individuals, yet listen to ‘emo music’, hang out in ‘emo groups’ and buy ‘emo clothes’ with their pocket money. They hang out in dark rooms generally ignoring the happy things in life and talk about how depressed they are all the time. Most lie about cutting themselves in order for people to feel sorry for them without actually experiencing any pain at all. Others do it as an ‘initiation’ ceremony in order to become fully emo. ‘Cutting’ is a fad – what on earth does it help? You feel sad, so you cut yourself to make you feel… better? They don’t appreciate what they have, and do not realise how bad other peoples' lives are in comparison to their own. Emo is just an ever-increasingly popular ‘group’ which people want to be part of. It is a group for kids without an identity, looking for a bit of melodrama and ‘deeper levels of understanding’. To be honest, the kids who REALLY have a life not worth living aren’t even in the emo club – they just try to get through each day until it gets better.
Second version (usually used by TRUE emos – i.e. those who actually have a reason to be depressed): Kids who have had the misfortune to go through circumstances which are incredibly depressing. For example, parental divorce, death of a loved one, and loneliness. They listen to music which explains how they feel, enjoy hanging around with people who understand how they feel, and buy clothes that express to the world about how they feel. Only some kids cut themselves. Cutting can become addictive, and it distracts from the inner pain. It can be hard when youre labelled in the street because of what you wear, and can sometimes make depression worse. Being a ‘half-emo’ can also mean that you just like black and emo clothes and haircuts, and enjoy gigs and mosh pits. Some people that you like because theyre genuinely nice people, could be emo, and fun to hang around with.
Nearly every single teenager has wanted some form of attention or feeling of belonging at some time or other, and being emo could be the solution to some. Don’t hate people because of what they are labelled. Get to know them – they may be more like you than you think.

A really crappy type of music that tends to somehow be popular with people my age. Emo people wear extremely tight jeans and wear t-shirts of their crappy emo bands like panic at the disco, my chemical romance, Dashboard Cofidentail, etc.
Emo Kid: i'm so depressed. I'm gonna go read "twilight" and listen to MCR.
Smart Metalhead(me):Uh, no. Your life is not fucking miserable. You have just as much money as i do, you have a good education, and you are not a drugie. But then again if i had to listen to your crappy music i'd be depressed to.
Smart Metalhead #2: Fuck yea Metal rules! Come on dude lets have fun and jump in a mosh pit! WHEEEOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Smart Metalhead #3: Hell yea metal is so much funner then emo! Hey whens that new Slayer CD coming out?

A person who is emotionally out of control. They often dress goth to attract attention, but the goths don't want to have anything to do with them because Emo's are posers.
