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.
Hater: Emos are severely depressed suicidal homosexual melodramatic attention-seekers that need to get over themselves.

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!
That girl's style is so cool and edgy!
She must be emo.
word used by younger men to avoid answering questions relating to the complex relationship issues or situations with cougars.
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?
What Not To Do Else You're Judgemental;
John; Emo!

John; Yeah You Big Emo
Sarah; How Am I Emo?
John; You Dyed Your Hair And You Wear Skinnies

The emotional side of punk; the sad/dramatic side of punk rockers. People who wish to announce they are emo may cut hair so it covers (at least) one eye and wear eyeliner and layer their clothes note: this does NOT mean that all people who dress like this are "emo" Emos look at love and life through black-covered glasses and may occasionally smile if among other emos. Emos are known for hating "preps" group of people who hate black and pop their collars. Emo is also associated with cutting of wrists -- emos may do this and they may not, but if they do, they're just gay because that is something stupid to do.
BE WARNED OF EMO WANNABES -- people who cut their hair, wear the makeup, pretend to cut, and generally act like a-holes. They are not emo. They are WEMO - wannabe emo. Also be aware (but friendly) to the ELMOs - they dress emo but they are happy outgoing people and love to laugh and be normal with their friends -- they are ELMOs (they try to be Emo but come off more Tickle-me-Elmo)

There are too many stereotypical definitions for an emo on Urban Dictionary, so I'm going to try to clear this up for those who don't know what they're talking about. Emo stands for "emotionally challenged", yes, but that's not a synonym for "melodramatic, cutting, freaks who over dramatize everything", because not every single emo on the planet is like that. Usually, the over dramatic ones are the fake ones trying to get attention from everyone.
Emo people are usually those who have very difficult lives at home or in general, constantly facing problems that effect them emotionally, and drive them into a self panic. They usually think there's nothing really anyone can do for them, they feel very alone in the world. Its true, nobody knows just how much they go through in a day, with people criticizing, bashing, and labeling them alone. Most people are too dim or self absored to see through their thick skull and realize the pain these people go through everyday.
When people start shooting off their mouth about how emos are black dressing, cutting, eye-liner wearing, melodramatic, freaks, that's only because it's what society has labeled them as. And maybe, they do wear eyeliner or dress in all black, but does that give you the right to bash them? Does that make them any less of a person? All they need is for you to walk up to them and give them a compliment and maybe even become friends. Because, if you do that, you could really really realllly make that persons day. Emos are NOT a frkn subculture, so STOP saying that, they're humans like you and me.
Random Dumbass: "Hey, look at the freakish emo over there, bet he just finished cutting himself, the dumb shit!"
