A social trend of the early to mid 2000s. Characterized by angsty teenagers, mainly from middle class suburban families, dressing in tight pants (often girl jeans), studded belts, black band t-shirts, and heavy use of eye liner with dark straightened hair with crispy bangs meant to cover one eye.
Music tastes tend to be a form of rock characterized by whiny depressed lyrics about some deep seeded emotional issue.
The Emo trend gave rise to toxic social media where dealing with insecurity meant creating an embellished internet personality to appeal to the masses rather than actually learning to love and accept yourself for who you really are.
The Emo era ended sometime in the late 2000s when Myspace began giving way to Facebook. The fashion and music tastes died out but the general attitude of "depression is cool" remained to this day.
Look at that emo kid. He's cuter on Myspace than in person.
The music:
Softcore punk rock.
"Guy Picciotto formed Rites of Spring in 1984, breaking free of hardcore's self-imposed boundaries in favor of melodic guitars, varied rhythms, and deeply personal, impassioned lyrics." Wikipedia
The People:
It is a label people give themselves for being apathetic and emotional to an extreme (usually miserable), but wallowing in it and not wanting it to change. They tend to feel they are misunderstood and that life is not fair to them in specific.
The Look:
The casual Emo garb is faded thin\tight blue jeans or slightly oversized work pants accompanied by a secondhand T-shirt with an out of place logo, bad Heavy Metal tees work well too. Good shoes would be Converse Chuck Taylor low-tops or old skool low-top Vans. The more extreme clothes of choice would include horn-rimmed glasses, cardigan sweaters, dorky polo shirts, pants that are a bit too short and hair that is spiky or messy in the back with straight cut bangs or awkward sharp angles and are often glossed.
Compared to Goths:
The primary difference is that emos have normal or more or less standard fashion, personalities and interests. Goths take these to the extreme and dislike most people. Emos can have a pale complexion, but will not wear black lipstick, and will not have the Halloween look that goths have. Google images gives accurate portrait of goth.
Emo Music:

Thursday - Full Collapse
Saves The Day - Stay What You Are
Dashboard Confessional - The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most

An offensive slur word used towards people who dress in mainly dark colors, listen to dark music, and express their sad emotions.
“Look at them, their emo!”
“You’re literally emo, so stop.”
A emo is a teenager, usually like 14 to 16 years old who is really emotional, listens to really crazy metal/rock music, likes dark, strange and & emotional and expressive things & dresses in black and has a hard time smiling.
There usually lonely and depressed (but not always) and keep a journal and write angsty poems that they plan on making into songs and they might be in a band.
They probably have weird niche taste, like the video game Undertale (& Deltarune to) and listen to My Chemical Romance a lot aggressively.
A accurate depiction of emos is Octavia in the webseries Helluva Boss. (Who is loved by many irl emos for being relatable)
Kid 1: "Hey who's that quite guy with the headphones on all the time blasting the Black Parade?"
Kid 2: "Oh that's just Kurt, he's emo."
Finally a definition of emo by a guy who actually WAS one!
Emo is a common phrase used to bully others, but in reality! Emo actually stants for Eat Me Out
