While emo is a form of punk, and used to be a music-based culture (emo stands for 'emotive,' not emotional, you morons) this definition is depicting the two types of modern emo:
1. Mainstream emo: Your typical annoying, greasy-haired whiny teen who thinks that their life sucks, when they honestly don't know what they're talking about. A freaking cult- all of them are obsessed with being unique, and yet they are sucked up by the enormous wave of conformity that MTV created to enslave the stupid ones. Often times will cut themselves for attention, or do something of the like. They feel unappreciated, and 'find themselves' in art and their supposed 'darkness.' Myspace is life for some of them.
2. Other: Just that- a truly depressed person who doesn't fit in, possibly because of mood swings, or trauma in early life. Tries not to fit the aforementioned definition of Mainstream emo; they know it's fake and not really them. These are the people with real artistic skills, and actual talent. Someone with severe Aspergers who refuses to take meds, for instance.
1. Anonymous emo boy digs into his wrists with a razor in the closet, darkly musing on darkness. He realizes later in life that he had made a terrible mistake, being an MTV-slave/ carbon copy with no real identity. But, he's already screwed up his life; taking those anti-depressants that he didn't need got him hooked, and he's in a ward. Now he knows what it's like to be all alone... and he hates it.
2. Anonymous 'Other' is strolling along, hands deep in her pockets. She hums a few bars of a song she can't remember the words to, and rolls her eyes at the group of Mainstreamers, all dressed in black and dark. "What a bunch of f*ckheads," she whispers, traipsing away.

A state of mind in which the person usually feels hopeless and alone. It is not a fashion statement, although many 'emo' people tend to dress in skinny jeans, black hair, etc. because they know it will differntiate themselves from those 'abercrombie-wearing'kids, so that they will likely never have to deal with them. A common myth is that most emos cut themselves. This is a stereo-type. Self mutilation is caused by depression. One does not have to be emo to cut, but one who cuts is likely to choose to dress 'emo', to express themselves. The 'emo' genre of music is generallytypes of rock, such as screamo, punk, etc. examples: Children Of Bodom, Senses Fail, The Rocket Summer, etc.
"Look at those emo kids, all they do is listen to music and dress in black."

Emos are people who wear super-tight skinny jeans and tight T-shirts, like Converse, and have long hair that they CONSTANTLY flip out of their eyes, which can get really annoying. Most emos are fake posers who act emo for attention, but there are some who like the music, which is mainly metalcore and screamo. Real emo never existed. Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are simply pop-punk bands, which suck save fore a few songs. The there are people who are really depressed, but most don't dress emo. In short, emos are annoying pretty boys/girls that are trying to be different by conforming. In the social chain, they are right below everything else and are preyed upon by punks, Goths, headbangers, metalheads, gangstas, poseurs, Nazis, straight-edges and hippies alike.
A punk bumps into an emo in the hallway.
Punk: Sorry man.
Emo: Why?! Why do people have to make me want to KILL myself!? I'LL KILL YOU!
The emo attacks the punk and proceeds to get the shit beaten out of him.

Un-popular guy: Yeah you stupid emo go kill yourself
Un-popular girl: You're sooooooooo gay. No girl would ever go out with you.
Emo kid: *Kills self because of how fucking stupid his classmates are being*
All students who used to tease the emo kid: *fake sadness* We didn't mean to kill him/her!!! It was an accident
Me: Retards, you didn't think that calling someone names and telling them they are worthless and stupid would get them upset??
Students (Bullies): But he wasn't a real person, he was just adhering to a trend!
Me: *amazed that neanderthals like these idiots know what "adhering" means, then gets over it* not a real person?? Cause he was different? wow, so this is why the planet is being shot to hell... bigots like you are going to inherit the world... Damnnn, we're all screwed.
