"emo" is most commonly thought of as little 14 year olds in all black, black hair, black everything. Often they will cut but most importantly consider themselves emos as they listen to fake metal bands such as:
Pierce the veil
Black veil brides
Of Mice & Men
the list of bands in such "fake poser metal" is near endless and spans from Fall Out Boy style pop rock to Sleeping With Whiners appalling take on metalcore. Emo is used as a half derogatory half label to those who listen to shit; much in a similar fashion to that as the word "nigger".
Originally from the 90s who were offspring of the punk tree, the word was used to describe bands who's lyrical were whilst being hardcore with a punk tint overlapping them. As people denied this tree of punk any right to be called emo and began to focus the word on the above description, emocore as such faded out. However in 2010, a revival began, spearheaded no longer by bands such as I Hate Myself and SDRE but bands such as TWIABP and Everyone Everywhere (bands with essentially the longest most obscure names possible) who's style is defined as lyrically soft often with high treble guitars yet still retaining the original screamo segments or rough quality.

"Dude, I'm pretty emo myself, I listen to Of Mice and Men..."
"nah dude you're just a fag"
Or
"Holy crap, Things In progression of reactivity, that's a long band name. Better get my black jeans, Topshelf Records shirt, band flag and a semi-acoustic and start up an atmospheric emo indie alt band".
Or
"Wow his skramz style is brutal"
"yeah dude, someone said he lost his entire voice for six months after that gig"
"sick, lets shred dude"
"yeahhhhh"
Every definition is either INSULTING OR SARCASTIC.
It is an entire society and culture where people actually show their feelings, or try to express them through a creative way, such as music or art. NOT ALL EMOS CUT or self mutilate.
Usually, it is described by
-the clothing
Most common would be tight but comfortable, casual clothing. SKINNY JEANS, BAND TEES, SWEATERS, CONVERSE or VANS are the most typical.
-the "messy hair" look
It doesn't necessarily have to be a mullet, it can be the choppy hairstyle, a short haircut, or just long and a little teased/messy. It can be any color.
-the music
most typical would be the rock, metal, screamo, hard rock, and alternative rock genres.
ALTHOUGH(!!!) Emo is not defined, doesn't have a prototype, or a specific look/behavior. You are simply you!
You DON'T HAVE to look like this or be like this to be emo. You might be classified or labeled as emo even if you aren't, simply because you fit into the category.
THIS isn't just a stereotype. There is no reason for it to be mocked.
Emo comes from the word emotional, that you are who you are and you might be sad or happy, therefore you express it. Emotional DOES NOT mean MOODY or COMPLAINING.
IT MEANS BEING HUMAN.
Person 1: "Oh so you're emo. You must complain a lot because your life sucks."
Person 2: "Just because I dress a certain way doesn't mean I'm pessimistic. Learn your definitions right before judging negatively, you illiterate jerk."
An emotion person, sometimes describes as emotionally depressed. NOT a music genre.
"Look at her, she's so sad ALL the time!"
"Yeah I know man, she's such an emo."
- extremely in your feels usually over a person or experience , it can be happy or sad, usually excessively happy
- speechless; very much feeling emotional
"wow the thought of you holding my hand made me so emo!"
"YOOO TREY SO EMO OVER LIA"
Someone who wears two belts instead of one, who quotes emo songs in their statuses, and who straightens their hair and wears guyliner.
God that Donovan kid is so emo.
