An emo kid from the early- to mid-2000s who is now in their 30s and 40s but still loves the genre, listens nostalgically the old bands, and waits for the emo wave to come back. Elder Emos have jobs and family responsibilities but still wear band shirts and skinny jeans on the weekends. At their best, they joyfully encourage and promote the next generation of emo rockers. At their worst they hold onto the past and fall into despair while lamenting how the new music “just isn’t as good.”
Person 1: I just found my iPod Nano from 2007. Want to listen to some Circa Survive?
Person 2: Ah, I see you’re an Elder Emo.

I thought I'd give it a try...
What Emo Is And Some History.
Emo is short for emotive hardcore. It's a DIY music style (not a shitty fashion) that started in the 80's. Emo follows (but is not restricted to) the lines of hardcore. Hardcore is a subgenre of punk, therefore, so is emo. The first emo band is often credited to Rites Of Spring. They played with hardcore punk rock energy (as the members were previously involved with hardcore bands) and lots of emotion through their performance and with their audience. Their lyrics seem to have important views about life and a sense of deepness.
"Emo" As A Term.
The term "emo" was generated as an insult to people in the hardcore scene that liked these bands. An emo band's performance on stage (can include crying/moaning/etc. their lyrics and various other events) probably made them look "weaker" to the hardcore kids, which is (why I think) "emo" was directed as an insult.
What Screamo is.
Screamo has evolved from emo. This music style invloves more screaming and often has more melodic breakdowns. Screamo is still emo, therefore follows its guidelines.
What Emo Is Not.
Emo is not short for emotional. Emo is not a fashion. Emo is not "XxXxXxXOMMMFFGZZZZ IM LYKE, SO DEPRESSED!XxXxX!!!1!!111 IM GONNA SLIT MY WRISTZZZZZZZ...LOL..XxXxXxX" Emo was not mainstream (because it was DIY). Emo has nothing to do with being depressed, shitty metaphors, or suicide. Emo is not whiney, bullshit music sung by pubescent males that haven't dropped their balls yet.

Emo (person)- someone who is more emotional about things than others. Usually listens to Emo (music). Just because someone is emo it doesnt mean they cut themselves some do some dont. People who are emo dont always have to look like it, so the dont all have dark clothing dark hair etc., and not all emo girls are obsessed with sex thank you very much.

A quirky stand-up comedian from Downer's Grove, Illinois who won the 1985 Music Award for best comedy album, "E=mo2," released stand-up video, "Live at the Hasty Pudding Theater," and has worked in television and movies. Also famous for his coleslaw recipe and being quite handy with the ladies.
We spent our childhood watching Emo Phillips, which consequently had a major influence on our oddball sense of humor.

A net poster who creates a (fake) heartfelt scenario to attract bleeding souls.
That 'Kotter'...to think that I actually believed her...what an Emo Bot.
A group of bands consisting of Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance and Fall Ouy Boy. Each band represents a branch of "emo" or punk music. Panic! At The Disco represents electronic punk. Fall Out Boy represents punk rock. My Chemical Romance represents hardcore or metal punk. Most of the listeners of these three bands are girls but many are guys. Plenty of the girls are much more unique and creative than regular white girls.
Girl#1: Hey what are your favorite bands
Girl#2: I really like Fallout boy, Panic! And mcr
Girl#1:you like the emo trinity? Me too
