Emo

A genre of music that is slightly hard-core, maybe a small amount of screaming or shouting. Emo is not a type of person that wears dark clothes and dark make-up. Emo is also not a person that self-harms, or whom is depressed.

Emo is short for Emo-core which was a joke made by a band in the 1980's, which was then abbreviated to Emo. A girl killed herself and a writer for the Daily Mail said that the music was influential to her death and she was "Emo".

Correct:
Person 1: I love this song

Wrong:
Person 1: Wow, what's with the dark make-up and stuff?
Person 2: She's such an Emo.
