An abbreviation for emotive rock, a genre of music.
Some also consider it a social group/fashion like goth or prep. Actually, emo does not really exist, people who classify themselves as emos are scene/posers and people classifed as emos by others are usually normal, yet quiet people who have smaller circles of friends and like alternative music.

Poser: Nobody understands me, my past five girlfriends broke up with me so now I have to go cut myself to show I'm a nonconformist and not a poser. Then I'm going to go to hot topic and buy zebra striped skinny jeans to compliment the darkness of my personality.
So called "emo": look at that asshole over there in his skinny jeans and dyed hair. His whole life is constructed only for his image. I'm not surprised he can't keep a girlfriend for more than a month. He's so shallow, I can't believe other people think I'm like that guy.

Get the Emo mug.Someone who is emo generally likes punk music, wears a lot of black, and has really cool dyed hair! They may seem mean and scary, but they are usually very nice when you get to know them!

Get the Emo mug.Emo is a music type and sub-culture.
This will cover the sub-culture.
Emo is short for emotional.
People who are "Emo" tend to wear tight jeans and a black T-shirt or colourful T-shirt. Their hair is usually just past shoulder length, dyed black or white blonde and covers one eye.
A common belief is that emos are severely depressed suicidal homosexual melodramatic attention-seekers. This is not the case. It is true some are depressed/suicidal/homosexual/melodramatic/attention-seeking, but a lot of them aren't.
They are usually down to earth, easy to talk to, get along with, non-threatening. If your going through something tough in your life they are good people to talk to because they aren't judging, understand life and are able to keep secrets.
So don't be an emo-hater just because they're not "Mainstream" like you. They are just more deep, friendly and understanding then you.

Get the Emo mug.Regularly, the word 'emo' is actually a style of rock music.
Suppose someone calls you emo and that might be the many reasons why you are looking a his right now, it clearly means that you are emotional, sensitive, and depressed.
If your emo, you probably would prefer 'Goth' fashion. You would usually wear black and you definitely should have at least one piercing.
If you're emo, then you probably dont know how to smile, you always seem gloomy, and you are the quiet type of person.

Get the Emo mug.Many People Think That An Emo Is A Person That Dresses In Skinny Jeans And Black Morbid Tops. Many Of You Also Think That An Emo Is Someone Who Has Dyed Their Hair Darker Than It Originally Was. This Is Untrue
Lets Get Some Background Into This Shall We?
Emo Was Originally A Type Of Music - Emotive Music - In The 80's And 90's I Suppose. BUTTTT Some Saddos In The Late 90's Early 2000's Decided That They'll Make Up A Meaning For The Word 'Emo' Which Is Commonly Used For Emotional People.
EVERYONE IS EMOTIONAL.
We All Get Sad
We All Get Happy
We All Get Exited
We All Get Depressed
We All Get Angry
We All Get Bashful
We All Get Undecided
We All Get Bloody Emotions K?
Emo Doesn't Mean Emotional
That Makes Everyone Emo
Some People Also Think That Emo's Are People Different From Themselves. Loners Maybe. Just Because Someone Is Alone At Lunch Time Doesn't Make Them Emo. Or If Someone Is Wearing Too Much Eyeliner It Makes Them Emo To Some People
Right.
Instead Of Me Ranting At You
I'm Gonna Ask You A Favor K?
Ask Before You Say
If You Want To Know If Someone Is Emo
Ask Them
If They Don't Want To Be Called Or Labelled 'Emo'Then They Obviously Aren't Emo And Will Say No Or Definately Not.
If They Are A Wannabe Emo Then They Will Say Durhh.
Personally
I Hate All Of This Labelling Shit
I Was 9 When I Was First Labelled Scene And Goth And Emo
And Back Then I Didn't Know What They Meant So I Shrugged Them Off.
I Have Only Just Turned 13 Now And It Is Really Doing My Tree In
If Humans Were Meant To Be Labelled They'd Be Cans Of Beans And Shit. Labelling Has Taken Over Every Teenager's Life
Just Don't Do It K?
