History:
Emo was originally used to describe "emotional hardcore" music that was somewhat similar to rock and often had confessional lyrics.
The term "emo" was an abbreviation for "emotional hardcore"before being used to describe those who listened to that type of music.

Meaning:
Emo boys are skinny guys who usually wear dark colors and skinny jeans. Their hair usually covers at least one of their eyes, and some wear eyeliner. They are usually introverted, creative, sensitive to people's feelings and mysterious. Some are just ass-fags. Not all emo boys are "fags" who cry all the time and cut their wrists. Some are bisexual because they're open-minded, but don't flatter yourself and think all LGBTs are just out there to rape you.
They're just people, so of course, every one of them has their own variations and shit.
Emo skaters are the hottest though.
Friend: I will mentally have sex with all the emo boys I see on the street today.

Me: Amen, brotha.

Emo boys are first off- unbelivably hot.
but really they are just boys who are really in touch with their emotions. steriotypically they do not fit in because they cry, but that is just compleatly sweet and adorable.
emo boys (or girls) should not be judged without first having personally gotten to know at least three emo people, if nobody judged them without getting to know them first, they would probably be the most loved people around.
Me: so 'emo boy' how are you?
Emo Boys: im doing ok doll, how are you?
me: im good, my god your such a sweety i love you!
Emo Boy:i love you too sweet girl

WHO COULD NOT LOVE THEM?!
also their clothes are very nice

A male person, typically between the ages of 20 to 35, whose lugubrial nature is firmly entrenched within a policy of excessively up-to-date fashions and self-apologetic philosophies. While it may seem that the emo boy is a sensitive and sincere archetype, most instances are typically narcissistically and oedipally motivated approval-seekers by nature who achieve catharsis with the perpetual maintenence and acknowledgement of a perfectly inoffensive facade as subconsciously and consciously constructed by the emo boy himself. The emo boy is a child of the women's rights movement through the mid-to-late twentieth century and the wrongfully antagonistic public perceptions associated with modern feminism; emo boys gather much of their inspiration from the more nihilistic aspects of 1980's rock/punk bands, typically due to it's prolifically morose tones and androgynous fashions. In other words, the emo boy is a xy chromosome-based apology for the sinful excesses of a patriarchal society, achieved chiefly through the adoption of more stereotypically feminine traits while outwardly denying identification with the more stereotypically bad male attributes and behaviours. Non-muscular, distant, quietly vain, sensitive, nice, cultured, apologetic, and intimately dark; the emo boy chooses to correlate as closely as possible to the label of 'deep' through careful censorship and grooming, rather than by way of erudition and direct illumination (which could be viewed as adversarial or condescending) even though the average emo boy displays a higher capacity for intellect than most other male fashion-identifiable cliques.
Too shy to speak to her directly, the emo boy watched the dancing object of his adoration from a darkened booth and reflected bitterly upon the futility of his love-life.

Boys (and girls) who, rather than finding their own individuality, choose to conform to particular patterns of dress, music and behaviour. Typical indicators: medium-long hair elaborately cut to fall over the face; tight, possibly torn jeans; and a vapid and self-involved personality that makes them insufferable to be around.
Person A: Hey, check out those emo boys!
Person B: Man they're cool. I read on Wikipedia that you can't have emotions unless you have EXACTLY that hair cut.
Person A: Word.

emo boys are very hott! they listen to bands like my chemical romance, hawthorne heights, the used and so on. they wear tight girl pants and band tees. their hair is amazing, usually jet black with some dyed bits, usually red or blue, it covers most of their face in bangs and the back is short and spiky. they are boys in touch with their more feminine side and show their emotions unlike all the boys who think they are so macho. many say they cut and cry about their ex gfs, at least they can get girlfriends, and not all emos cut. they hang around in groups and are very friendly people, most of them very happy to be who they are. do not make the mistake of calling them goths, they wont like you for that. emo guys do make out with other emo guys but it doesnt mean theyre gay or bi. emo guys are not afraid to say they love you and show it.
person 1: hey did you see those emo boys making out!
person 2: yeah they are sooo gay!
person 3: no theyre not, that one has a girlfriend!
person 1: how does he get so many?
person 3: because he cares about them.
