OK, first of all... Emo is not Dashboard Confessional or "Death Cab" or Fall Out Boy. Advertisers have for some reason decided to use the term "emo" to describe these bubble-gum punk bands for a reason beyond me. O, if only Wenis had caught on instead....
Anyways
Emo has its roots in the vibrant punk scene of 1980s Washington DC. I'll try to sum this all up as best I can (Im no expert). After the breakup of the hardcore band Minor Threat, the now-legends of the DC scene (Ian MacKaye, Guy Piccioto, etc) decided that the type of music they had been playing had lost its originality and basically worn itself out... So in come the bands Rites of Spring and Embrace. They took the classic DC hardcore sound and added lyrics that conveyed deeper emotions. I'm sure it would sound like noise to most people who hear it for the first time, but I love it. In an interview at the time, Ian MacKaye (Now in Embrace) mentioned that fans had started to use the word "emo" to describe themselves as a group (Alas for cliques and exclusion). Then the term stuck, and was added to similar bands such as Moss Icon, Antioch, and then later Saetia, Current, Indian Summer, and the list goes on. By the early 90s, bands began to take the influences of this "emo" sound and combine it with more melodic pop-punk influences, and now we have Texas Is The Reason, pg. 99, CaPn Jazz, and later the promise ring and jimmy eats world (sort of). The term emo still stuck, even though some people tried to distinguish between the "driving, or melodic emo" of the current time, and the "emocore" of the 80s, most people didnt care. Bands like Jimmy Eat World began to get mainstream recognition in the late 90s, and although they changed their sound substansially, and sounded almost nothing like the Emo of over 10 years ago, the term "emo" was still in use (goddamit, its persistent). Teen People even called emo "the cutest new trend in music" in an article in 1998. Now, this is a HUGE difference from the "Emo" of the early years, which was underground, rough, and raw. But what can you do? And then in the past few years bands have capitalized on Jimmy Eat World type bands new poppy sound, and MTV and all the other "hip" advertisers decided to call them all emo... So here we are with the current "emo trend, which Im sure all of you already know more than enough about.

Caused by a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events leading upto or during social interaction, causing blood clots in the wrist, suicidal tendancies, loss in fashion sense, need to express femanine side too often, a need to voice there emotions using other mediums such as art, music,poems (Which usually have no structure, and have no meaning or purpose) ,or other methods which include dropping into subtle conversation, and by conversing, they can drop hints of their emotional experiances. The blood clotting, explains why emo's find the need to extract of blood from around the wrist area, and find it quite natural to do this themselves, using their moms best kitchenware, *hint. dont eat with a knife at an emo's house, unless it has been steralised*
An example of subtle hint dropping is:
Guy number 1: "Hey John, you will never guess what, my goldfish died to day"
John: "O Thats to bad, kinda like how my will to live died last month...." *awkward silence*
Guy Number 1: "damn your so EMO!"

an emo is a worthless piece of shit
that needs to die
their daily life consists of stressing over what way their fringes look like and worrying about their weight
they are vain fucks
they look like shit anyway
in a typical emo cahtroom

someone who copies everyone. ska kids for the checkerboard stuff and hats, goth kids for black, punks for colored hair and tight pants, and metalheads for what they(emos) turned into their "music"
they always talk about shitty bands who the never see, problems that don't matter, and they love getting their asses kicked.
"look at all those stupid emo cunts at warped tour!"
i know! what a bunch of losers!

ok emo doesn't mean you cut yourself. although alot of emos do. it started off as a type of emotional hardcore music and turned into a style.
most emos wear hair over their face, tight pants, chucks or vans, and eyeliner. i used to be emo and depressed after i started listening to AFI. emo is sort of in between goth and punk, and sometimes scene. it's simply a type of style, but now when a person goes and says "oh i think i want to be emo" they start acting depressed, cause thats what everyone says emo is. it's a style dude.

A depressing music which gathers attention of would-be-goths and the hatred of wannabe skaters. To waste time to segregate people by their way of thinking. To say someone is Emo or say you are Emo is overall pointless. The reason people think that Emo is so bad is because television, though being entertaining, stops us from having feelings. And we make fun of people who do have feelings calling them "Over-Emotional" when we in fact are "Emotionless".
Hey Dude, that guy is Emo he must kiss guys and cut his wrists lets beat him up with our skateboards and suffocate him with our egos.

A word that describes special types of people, like ppl who wear dark clothes every day to school, straighten their hair every morning before school, edgy humour, and social outcast.
"Reagan is an emo because she wears black every day."
