Emo is an adjective. people who say things such as "omg you're such an EMO!" are idiots. "emo kid," "emo girl," "emo guy/boy" are correct.

Get the Emomug. This is my definition of emo based on a conversation with my "emo" son and his friends because...well I can. I have concluded that there is no definition of emo. I was told that THEY are unique individuals, which by my upbringing describes everyone on the planet. Oh, they listen to a certain type of music (don't we all), they wear bleak-colored clothing, have piercings and are emotional.
So here goes my definition....Emo people are an excuse to hate everyone around you and mutilate yourself. Nothing more in a world of take-a-pill, make excuses for not doing anything with your life and blame everyone else for your condition. After intercepting a letter from my emo son's emo girlfriend, I read "I hate my big sister. She is such a b$#*ch and doesn't pay attention to me. Cutting and suicide seem so real right now." Every teenage girl that has a big sister hates her at one point in her life. And this lifestyle has been perpetuated by leaving our children alone, not teaching them proper values of life, not looking into what they are doing.
If the emo children were brought up in my household they would be thinking...."oh yeah exactly, cutting sounds so glamorous." Obviously, sarcastically. Can't these kids just be individuals with differences without all the loathing they portray????
Anyway, this comes from a 40 year old mom with wild hair, tattoos, piercings, listening to heavy metal music (along with all other genres). Am I emo????????

Get the emomug. The word emo is short for emotional. Originally used to define music that was "overly" emotional, normally quite dark sounding rock music. Now often used to describe fans of this music or as an insult. If you have any of these you are leaving yourself open to being called an emo: a fringe across your face, converse, vans, skinny jeans, scars on your arms or legs for what ever reason, rock band t-shirts, black clothes of any description, and patterned shoe laces. A stereotype of emo is someone who has dark hair, thick-rimmed glasses, converse, skinny jeans and are so depressed that they self-harm.
Emo also sounds like the japanese for potato. (imo is the romanji version but is prounced emo)

They're so emo.
That band is so emo.
Girl #1: All emos are stupid
Girl #2: Have you ever cried?
Girl #1: yeah...
Girl #2: Have you ever laughed?
Girl #1: Yeah...
Girl #2: Have you ever smiled.
Girl #1: yeah...
Girl #2: Then you're emo because emo is short for emotional and laughing and crying means you're being emotional.

Get the emosmug. Unlike common belief, emo does not stand for a category that a person can fit. Emo stands, actual, for the word emotional. Emo, the word its self, is extremely hard to define, but it stems from highly emotional music. No I don't mean people talking about just how bad life is or a broken relationships what I mean is the music has a connection with its audiences lives which ergo makes the audience emotional.
1. "John must be emo because he cuts himself."
"No! John's not emo his suicidal."
2. "This music makes me really emo."
“Yeah I get emotional when I hear this song too."
One is the incorrect method to use emo and two is the correct method.
"No! John's not emo his suicidal."
2. "This music makes me really emo."
“Yeah I get emotional when I hear this song too."

Get the emomug. 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

Confused Girl: Gosh your hott! I just love that your wearing the same pants as me and that i could probably beat your ass if i wanted to...I want you to fuck me right now!
Emo: Haha no way, what do you think i am...normal. I dont like girls and besides i dont have a penis anymore so i caint have sex with you.
