QUOTE FROM OTHER DEFINITION: "I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands." ~Chelsea
CLARIFICATION: Ok, first, Beethoven was a Romantic composer stupid. George Gershwin is 20th century. Britney Spears is pop. Get a fucking music dictionary. Emo is a musical genre developed in the 80's. You don't hear people running around yelling "I'm so metal" or "I'm so rock." Emo clothing style was derived from punk which was rising from Washington in the 80's.
The attitude of "Emo" was derived from the agonizingly depressing lyrics that plague all of todays musical genres (which is why I listen to classic rock). This term I have chosen (agonizingly depressing) is a double negative for those of you lacking linguistics skills. The definition of the emotional status of the allegedly emo person could also be defined as adolescence. The emo label exists mostly among teenagers when they're going through normal chemical changes in their body.
The existance of this in older people is called depression and needs to recieve immediate medical help. This condition is rising among adults due to genetic mutations with the body's ability to balance seratonin and melatonin as well as increased stress in today's culture. Other triggers are tragedy by means of deaths or abuse. Many times this is reversable.
People that get labeled as being emo, and truely are, usually don't want to be labeled that way and it upsets them because of their nature. People that WANT to be labeled as emo are called posers. They're trying to become something other than what really are. We'll save "poser" for another definition.
Essentially, the term "EMO" is non-existant. It is slang that has been developed to describe typical chemical conditions. The problem is, teenagers do not understand what is happening to their bodies and so they label each other as being socially inept.

Get the emomug. A bunch of really gay people that think there cool but really arent. They say they dont want to be a conformist and be like normal people so they go and conform with another group.
Their music is really terrible and consists of guitarist who are really god aweful and have probably never played the guitar in there life and there singer usually has the voice of a three year old girl, but they woud probably sound better if they got the cock out of their mouth.
You can usually find an emo/qweer in the arcade of a mall playing dance dance revolution or in hot topic, where all there gay clothes are sold. There hair is usually a different color every other week and it comes down to there jaw bone on one side of there face and is straightend and the back is really spikey and looks like it could be wrung out with grease to cook bacon with. They wear black or gray usually with a little bit of pink and have fingerless gloves that come up to there elbows usually because they dont realize how gay it looks. You can usually find an emo wearing about 3242 spiked wrist bands that they never take off not even to shower.
Emos dont like sports. For many reasons, mostly because they suck balls in sports. But also because it requires that you put forth effort and there so lazy they dont want to do that. Another reason is because most jocks make fun of and beat up emos...because there gay.
You can also identify an emo by the 22374293472934729374 peircings in there face, mostly in the lips, nose, or ears. It is also easy to point out an emo because they will be jacking off to Harry Potter, or anime crap. They usually wear skin tight pants because they have no ball sack anymore, and are the scrawniest human beings in the world.
Emos are just a bunch of gay losers that caint make friends so they formed there own little cliche

Get the Emomug. an emo is someone who is more emotionally aware of the world. For some reason they are hated by chavs who like to say things like dont cry little emo kid emos generally have side fringes and listen to bands like Panic! at the disco, My chemical Romance and Fall out Boy etc. They wear skinny jeans and eyeliner =D
Chav: Aww, don't cry little emo kid!
Emo: Excuse Me, can you please leave me alone.
Chav: is the lickle emo getting emo?
Emo: Excuse Me please.

Get the emosmug. 1. Another really annoying label started by some loser who had no life.
2.Usually a whiny little adolescent boy or girl who thinks they are "rebellious" or a "non-conformist". They think their life sucks, so they waste their time cutting their wrists and hurting themselves instead of finding ways to make it better.
A lot of these people actually have no problems and are rich little liars who pretend to be emo to "fit in" with a select few people. Posers
Some of these people actually have a really bad life(example: abuse, neglect, poverty, disease, ect.), but still do nothing about but hurt themselves even more.
The worst type of emo is the kids who don't even cut themselves but make it appear as if they did, they will pretend to have issues that some real kids have. Saying their parents abuse them or they have been raped. When people who have actually had this happen to them, live with it much better or at least try to be happy.
Most shop at Hot Topic and Thrift stores.
3. A genre of music that some how spawned into a label.

2. "My life is so horrible, my girlfriend just dumped me for my bestfriend, no one ever pays attention to me, and my parents took away my convertible for screaming at them and calling them a prick. I'm going to kill myself"
"Instead of doing that how about you stop being such a pussy and do something proactive for once."
3. "Listen to this awesome emo band i found!"

Get the Emomug. Comedian. Full name "Emo Philips"
In the world of monotone joke tellers throwing plastic grins in front of simulated brick walls at comedy clubs across the country it is always a breath of fresh air when a comedian is able to stand out not only on his persona but also on extremely well written material. And out of those comedians with the possible exception of Bill Hicks and Denis Leary few are able to find monumental success not only in United States but also over in Europe. Which brings us to Emo Philips.
If you have never heard or seen Emo perform it would be very difficult to describe. As one reviewer writes: "With his Prince Valiant haircut, wide-eyed expression of innocence and gawky gestures, Emo Philips has an individual, albeit bizarre, style."
But behind the unsettling persona lays some of the best written material found any place. Practically a staple on television during the comedy boom Emo continues to entertain people with his extremely clever and well honed material.

Get the emomug. a bunch of fuck nut stupid dumb cunt mother fuckers, who are hated by everyone, and this makes them sad, so they do more things that make everyone hate them, like hate themselves. They deserve mass gassing, and hitler would have foccused upon this race instead of the Jews, along with teeny boppers, these people are not people, they are god's joke, they are the sperm that should have died on the way to the womb, they are the babies that should have been aborted after birth. Usually dressed in black, these stupid fucking cunts always hunt in packs, a black aura hovers around them.
Non emo #1: WHat do you do if you see two emos hanging out?
Non emo #2: I dunno, what?
Non emo #1: Cut em' down.
