Emo is linked to a various number of things......
However most of these aren't true. Emo is not a hairstyle, a clothes style or even a youngster cutting themselves.
Emo is a lifstyle. Although some may cut themselves. More than likely they dont. Emo is a younger generation of not-so-understood teens that get noticed by dressing and actied differently. This has been around since the 80's but has not been recognized until the new millenium. We are not wanna be Japanease people and we are not pussies. Most of us are stronger than preps and jocks (emotionally of course). We don't like being targeted for who we are and certainly dont like being called obscene names such as earlier mentioned pussy.We want to be respected and left alone as you would want. We are not a style of music as many of you think. We are a society in ourselves, and if your nice we won't kick your ass and hook your intestines up to our car batteries and drag you behind our car!

A true emo is very moody. They are happy one minute and suicidal the next. We are very quiet around new people and dont get along with preps or chavs very well.
We have a very wide range of music tastes. Most people think we like bands like Bullet For My Valentine and My Chemical Romance(FYI MCR IS NOT EMO!!!,THEY ARE ALTERNATIVE!!!) But we can listen to different music like Fegie, Jeffree Star, and Tupac Shakur (Who was emo)

Get the emo mug.What you can claim to be if you have a photo of yourself frowning, while your hair is in your face. This transcends race, class, creed, city, state, country, planet, gender, social status, musical tastes, elevation, religion, clothing choices, sexual orientation, internet connection, political affiliation, and whether your belly button is an "innie" or "outie"(innies are slightly more emo, though).
Me: Hey, check out that emo guy.
Jeff!: Uh, no, wrong. He’s smiling. And also, tragically, sporting a mullet. Therefore, you fail.
Me: He... he's a reverse-emo, then. He's "ome".
Jeff!: Backward hair isn't backward vocabulary, you uncompromising bastard.
Me: Sigh.

Get the emo mug.Typically an "emo" is a stereotype surrounding most tweens-teens who dress in an alternative style. Their makeup, hair, and clothes mostly define their look, as "scene" or "emo". This "alternative" fashion they conform themselves to is derived from the "in" styles most preppy and or popular females tend to wear. Along with the basic designs for the clothing "emo" symbols are added onto the clothing in order to make it appear alternative.
Emo, is mostly used as an insult, or a joke. Although the term doesn't derive from the word Emotional, it infact comes from Emotional/Hardcore music. (typically where most of today's stereotypes and subcatagories origionate) Most emo children tend to hold up some arguement that states, "Emo is a way of life..." They continue with meaningful definitions that support their arguements. However most of the filth we encounter, in life, chatrooms, schools, and websites, are just conformist vile kids who claim to be different. In all actuality these are the "preps" of the alternative world.
They claim to be different and unique. They all look the same, how does this defend their arguement?
Now for the definition: These confused children are ones who are usually middle class-upper middle class. They like to complain about their supposibly horrible lives, and about how noone could possibly understand them. They create problems and overdramatize even the smallest situation, for the purpose of fabricating a world of terror for themselves. Which typically ends in self-mutilation on small scales. They don't accept anyone unless they look, dress, act, and present themselves the way they do. They are usually annorexic or bulemic. Even though they are usually underweight they tend to think they are fat. Also they have turned a choice of sexuality into a fad.. These are the reasons why gays, lesbians, and bisexuals will never have the rights we deserve. To sum it up. They are posers, filth, attention whores, sad excuses for human beings, a trend, a fad, worthless and meaningless, and should be shot so we didn't have to hear their pitiful cries.

*flips hair* Omg guys we r so lyk unique. Emo is a way of life! Oh em geee lets write depressing poems that don't make sense about our "horrible lives".
Good idea then we can slit our wrists! YAY!!!
My girlfriend just dumped me! I'm going to kill myself!!! We were only dating for a couple days, I barely knew her, but we had such a deep connection! I want to die *cries* I'll probably just slit my wrists to My Chemical Romance seeing as I have no will to die.

Get the Emo mug.A depressing subculture. Subculture deriving from 'sub' (below) and 'culture' (culture) meaning "Below/insignificant/lower culture".
The collective term for which is unanimously a 'futility of emos'.

I was down at my record shop, and towards the back I saw this massive futility of emos just standing there silently.

Get the emo mug.A sheeplike creature often seen milling about waiting for their next opportunity to pour disdain on the very culture they embrace, although the music scene is said to be blamed for the name Emo meaning EMOtive music i think it far more likey it is due to the emo's style guru Emo Philips the comedian. also see otaku for more info on the original roots of this culture
Although a seemingly us trend this began in the otaku region of japan which spawned the older trend named after the region these "Otaku" kids were almost identical to emo teens except that they started to become violent and several muders were commited. both of these trends are merely precursors to the cult of the drummers seen in the graphic novel "Halo Jones" first seen in the comic 2000ad the drummers were a group of emo lookalikes who had a hypnotic drumbeat implanted in there brains that would make them almost catatonic with bouts of psychotic violence very much like the otaku
