Used to be used as an adjective, "emo" can now be a person. An 'emo' is a person (boys are typically more noticeable than girls) who develops a fake sense of overwhelming depression and that their life is all a waste. This perception is usually derived from emo culture but most of the time just music, whose lyrics very commonly state that life is all a waste and that suicide is a good idea. It's a sad, deeply pathetic but nonetheless very sad condition, and is even being considered its own mental condition alongside with depression.
An emo can physically be classified by dark, tight-fitting clothes, fabric accessories (scarves, belts, etc), and typically black hair that commonly covers one eye. Boys wear tight pants that come in at the ankle and very feminine-fitting clothing, while girls typically show a bit more skin and favor more gothic styles. The 'emo' stereotype is different from punk in that punk is much more colorful, and is different from gothic in the sense that their problems are more focused on them than the destruction of humanity.
Emo boys are treated more harshly than girls because of their feminine appearance. They are frequently called 'gay', and the word 'fag' is becoming commonly associated with them. Terrible, terrible hate is directed towards emo people because of their general pathetic appearance. On the flip side, emo is a a near cult; and if one emo meets another, they are befriended. There's only a rare number of people, such as myself, who are against being emo without hating the people.
And then there's 'Wanna-bemos.' These are the people who stumble around, saying "Omg, I'm so emo todayyyy!!!" These are the people who worship lead singers of emo bands, and wish they were 'only just as cool.' I personally believe this is even more pathetic than being within the actual emo stereotype. Why would someone wish to be depressed? It's a very confusing situation.
Emo:
A young man in a black tee shirt with the title and logo of the band 'My Chemical Romance' plastered over the front, tight black jeans, dark converse shoes and messy, ebony-colored hair walks up to a girl of the same physical appearance. He looks up at her with only one visible, watery eye and passes her a simple "Hi."
She looks back with a sad smile. "Hi. What's your name?"
The young man blinks. "... Kevin," he says sullenly.
"My name's Ella. My Chemical Romance is the best band ever."
"I know."
Wanna-Bemo:
A girl with long, dark hair and completely black clothes bounces up to her boyfriend, who looks quite similar. "Hey, sexy," she croons, and stands next to him. "What are you up to today?"
"Soccer practice; it's Wednesday," The boyfriend says back, as if she were an idiot.
The girlfriend looks stunned. "But.. but we were going to see the Fallout Boy concert tonighhhttt!!! Pete Wentz is so hot."
Boyfriend shrugs. "Woops, forgot."
You notice that in the Emo example, both members were very quiet and obviously depressed. In the Wanna-bemo example, both members acted like the 'prep' stereotype; the only difference was that they liked emo music and dressed like such.

A subspecies of humanoid-like creatures that have pale white pelts and often have large tufts of black hair covering most of their bodies.
Emos, also 'Emo Kids', have very lonely, whiney personalities. Emo Kids have a strong tendency to cry even when the slightest mishap affects their daily lives. Sometimes, once in a blue moon, an Emo Kid may turn aggressive because of this. It is best to stay away from an Emo Kid, because one of these two things will happen if you don't:
a) The Emo Kid will rip you to shreds with it's vampiric teeth and it's Freddy Krouger claws. (This is extremely rare. Often, aggressive Emos are called Goth. It's a very common misconception that all emos are goths, but this is very untrue.)
b) This is the more common one. You too will dye your hair black, wear tight-fitting clothing, and listen to fake wannabe bands like My Chemical Romance.
Now, if you do want to stay away from Emo Kids, here is what to look out for:
. Snow White skin.
. Most Emos have either no eyes or only one eye. Look out for this the most.
. Black hair.
. Tight jeans.
. Tons of mascara and eyeliner. Sometimes, glitter and red eyeshadow may also be involved.
. A black shirt that says something faggish such as 'I don't love you.'
. Black boots.
. A tie. Most female Emos own one.
. Hm. Sometimes, Emos may be wearing arm socks, but telling you to stay away from people in arm socks is a little over the edge. I myself wear arm socks, but I hate Emo Kids. xD
. Lots of crying. Emo Kids are very emotional. Therefore, Emo Kids should cry almost every hour on the hour. Emo Kids cry at every single thing, even happy things that happen to them.
. The last and final thing. This would be: Cuts down the wrist and sometimes even on the legs. Most Emos hide such things, but if you are very sharp-eyed, you will notice such things right away. Emo Kids are horrible liars.
And always keep in mind that Emo Kids may think that their lives are horrible, but they probably live in nice houses with a pool and have a large family. Do not be fooled, and this subspecies will not tamper your normal life. =D

young teenage children who think that attention is never theirs, so they decide that cutting themselves will be a great alternative. they decided that listening to music like fall out boy, silverstein, and panic! at the disco, will make them seem cooler to the other teens at their school. they pretend that their lives are miserable, and complain about every thing that goes on wrong in their lives and take every thing for granted. emos are usually bisexual, or gay/lesbian. very small amout of them are straight
emo boy: uggh, my mom grounded me again. she caught me out with braxten.
emo girl: ohh that sucks, wanna come over later and watch steel magnolias, and cut ourselves?
emo boy: sure, but can we also complain about our rich lives and how every body ignores us?

a post-Gothic subculture characterized by neuroticism, detrimental narcissism, a desire for self-mutalation and self-inflicted agony--of the mental and emotional variety. People categorized as "emo" tend to transcend gender roles, develope obsessions with fashion, hair covering the eyes, black makeup etc. Most memebers of the emo community enjoy thrash music, break up songs, eyeliner, tacos, and old school nintendo. Most also claim that no one understands them, except of course other emo people--which seems like a hypocritical cry for attention.
I am so emo, being called emo makes me cry big juicy tears of black blood, and i'll die alone in the rain because I won't let anyone understand how stupid, and self-absorbed I am... Let's go get Starbucks, slit our wrists, and talk about Deathcab for Cutie... sob, sob...
