Emo. Who knows what it really is, like honestly? Some say its a genre of music, "fags" who sing about there failure relationships, and mostly, people who wear tight pants, strum a guitar to a suicidal song and cry all day. But who is to say that any of these definitions are wrong? We all have different opions; and noone can say one's opion is "stronger" than another opion(in this case)fore, I cannot find a legible source and or person who made the word up. Moreover, if you do find a source, there is still no real evidence to where it really came from(If this was so, Im sure it would be listed in dictionary.com).
Some of the different things that people label as "emo" are(Note, some labeled/accurate definitions may not be included, and im just giving the general examples):
1. Emotional people
2. Bands such as silverstein
3. Outcats of society
4. People who wear certain clothes/and or styles to prove a point to society
5. People who dont take care of them selves, and where rugged clothing
6.Sensitive people
7. Other

a lame attention seeking kid who wears a lot of dark colors, skinny jeans, belts with special metal studs on them, and hair that covers half their face as though doing that will prove they disapprove of mainstream society. then they go home and ask their parents for money and eventually will get over how lame they are grow up to become yuppies.
what is that emo kid trying to prove.

the pants are not girl pants, they're made for guys.
not all of us cut ourselves.
not all of us sit sobbing all night.

and NO, we are not retarded.
not all of us come from the suburban middle class
some of us are perfectly normal, happy people who happen to wear black, enjoy pain, and have our hair over our eyes.
i think i'll go post something mean about jocks.
"that person is an emo" is incorrect.
"that person is emo" is correct.

The worst thing to arrive in heavy music and the counter-culture in over 10 years. By being all about non-conformity and dressing the way they do they've created a style, another facet for people to conform to. Also, why they fret on past relationships and experiences is beyond me, anyone from any class and any nationality can have abusive parents, can have been in bad relationships and so on. Doesn't matter what scene you're part of, it happens to everyone. Emo kids just decide to make their lives revolve around their problems rather than make the best of the hand they were dealt and overcome their troubles like everyone else. They don't need to dress the way they feel (crappy) and they definitely don't need to set their whiny, talentless singing, and their all-out screaming to "music" (if you could call it that) that lacks real composing and skill. And I've really had enough of their reverse mullets!
emo is a reverse-mullet dyed red, black and blonde, piercings wherever they can be put, skin tight pants, wearing their little sister's shirt, wearing enough belts for 3 people...etc,etc.

E-mo
Emo (or "emotional hardcore" 'e-mo') originated in the mid 1980's and has evolved in present day (2008) as a shadow of its former self.
It was born in Washington (USA) as a subgenre of hardcore punk which overlaid typically aggressive, political, rebellious music with introverted and personal lyrics which was reflected the persona of the bands.
Emo began its passage into mainstream music in the mid 1990s with the Indie movement which was exemplified by the likes of Fugazi.
Emo then accelerated its progression away from its hardcore punk origins towards 'mainstream' pop culture. The genre upheld the introverted lyrics which distinguished it from the hardcore punk movement of the 80s, and replaced its thrashier, more aggressive tempo with a blend of 'mainstream ' pop-punk and soft-rock.
Emo's hardcore roots are the central derivative of many post-hardcore (or current hardcore/metalcore/scream o etc) bands, which have taken the central hardcore thrash tone and introverted lyrics and combined them with metal, pop-punk and other 'mainstream' influences.
*The term 'core has also undergone a similar passage where it has been adopted as a suffix for a musical or cultural icon associated with emotional hardcore (eg metalcore, fashioncore, emocore).
Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, Fire Party, Beefeater, Gray Matter,Moss Icon, Fugazi.
'Post emo' includes Good Charlotte, Funeral for a Friend, Sunny Day Real Estate, My Chemical Romance, Junction 18, Something Corporate.

The word Emo refers to either:
1. The Emo (Or Emotive Hardcore) Modern Music Genre, a subdivision of Hardcore Punk.
2. The Emo (Or Emotive Hardcore) movement: a subculture of western, middle to upper-class young people.
Note: Not to be confused with Goth
The Term Emotive Hardcore began with the band Rites of Spring in 1985 who took a more personal approach to punk. Their songs were about personal problems and negativities they experienced in life and the term 'Emo' was coined as an insult to describe the followers of the band.
Modern Emo bands are difficult to pick because whether or not a band is emo is very subjective. Many people consider Pop-Punk bands such as Good Charlotte and Taking Back Sunday as Emo, others do not. Bands most widely excepted as emo include Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco and Lost Prophets, though even these arguably fall under the genre. Emo music is often avoided by non-emos simply because it is emo, but not always. Just because someone listens to an emo band, does not mean they are emo.
The Emo subculture is a group comprising practicaly entirely of teenagers from a middle to upper-class society. Emos are generally people from well-off homes who consider themselves depressed and distraught. They disapprove with modern ways of thinking and seek not to conform to Pop-Culture. They dress usually in black and thier hair is almost always straight and dark, often covering part of the face. Emo's often have modified sexual preferences and are open to sexual experimentation whereby they consider themselves homosexual and bisexual however considering the young age of many such emos, the actual accuracy of their sexual status is often arguable as many believe such people are still growing and thus have not been able to make a proper decision as yet.
There are two types of Emo's
1: Try-hard Emo's: As named by true Emo's (see below), try-hard emos are people who believe themselves to be emo. They dress like emos and openly advertise thier self-proclaimed Emo status. These types of emos are unlikely to have been through any sort of emotional turmoil and simply dress as they do for social reasons in most cases.
2: True Emo's: Often an evolution of a try-hard emo, but not always, a true emo is a person who genuinly considers themselves depressed. True emo's will never call themselves emo but may use terms such as Scene Kid to describe each other and will often openly advertise their depression. The transition between the two types of emo is often the result of a relationship break-up whereby the emo considers themselves wrongly done by and depressed as a result.
Sadly, true emos will often hurt themselves either in self-pity or as a public display of thier depression. This stereotypically involves slitting of the wrists whereby an emo attempts sucide (though purposly does not follow through) but can often incude other forms of self-destruction. Emos rarely sucide without an outside force such as drugs or alcohol having an effect on them
The parody from the emo subculture is obvious and along with their somewhat anti-social behaviour almost always leads to their outcast from other social groups (which in turn they may consider to add to their depression).
The Emo Parody:
1. Emos disagree with modern pop-culture and wish to separate themselves from modern society – they seek to be individual, but in doing so they actually simply group themselves into another culture, and a negative one at that. They fail to be individual at all and instead are just another group of people.
2. Emos believe themselves depressed, though clinically almost all emos are perfectly healthy mentally and their self-proclaimed depression is an insult to truly depressed people. Emos are well off people who draw attention to themselves by, and perhaps even gain pleasure in, attempting to lead others to believe they are depressed by past experiences. They truth of the matter is, everyone experiences the issues they face, and many people to a greater and much more damaging degree. Emos are depressed about nothing and if they spent half the time they spend wallowing in self-pity as they did happy and fulfilled, the world and their world would be a considerably better place.
Non-Emo: Those Fucking Emo kids are such a pack of cunts.
Try-Hard Emo: I am so depressed man. Nobody gets me. I wish i wasn't an emo.
True-Emo 1: Nobody gets me man. I am so depressed.
True Emo 2: Man, you cut your wrists. Why?
True Emo 1: The world just doesn't get me *sob*
