Emo is an abbreviation for 'emotive hardcore punk', or 'emocore', a genre of music and a lifestyle which peaked in the 1990s. Often used nowadays as a classification for people - typically teens - who listen to rock music, are introverted and wear black and maybe have coloured streaks in their hair. Occasionally used as an insult, though emos do not take this as an insult normally.
"Hey, look at him, isn't he an emo?"
"Oh yeah, he's wearing all black and burgundy and listening to Papa Roach."

A word that has been given many meanings.
1. A sub culture in the category with punk, goth & scene.
They usually have black choppy hair & wear black, especially skinny jeans, they can wear colour & can have their hair a different colour, they prefer to be alone & listen to music (Genre: punk, metal, emo, ) All of these things are not limited & if an 'emo' says that they are then they are most likely a poser.
2. A genre of music, how I usually describe this is that it has guitar riffs, but instead of the usual edgy rock sound they sound more... soft...
Many people hate emo, many people defend it, many people are posers, many people don't understand,
emo is very mis-understood, & is not just someone who cuts themselves, it's a type of person, with specific unique preferences to the mainstream, someone different, & usually from my experience, people who carry out the emo style were previously depressed but got through it.
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH scene
If you call a scene kid emo (or vice versa) you could very well offend them.
