"Emo" short for emotional.Most emo's are misunderstood and not all cut.But most people say they do.Also a style of mainly black clothing and stripes.
Mainly emo kids are made fun of for bing "wimpy","gay",or a "pussy fag".You can be all of those and not be emo.

Emo (or emotional punk) is a subculture of mostly teenagers from white middle class suburbia, who claim that their life is hard and nobody understands them. They wear mostly black but will often wear other stange items such as elmo backpacks (whilst crossing out the 'l'), or spiderman keychains. Emos often style their hair in rediculous fashions that can take hours to create. Emo's constantly whinge and whine about how hard their life is and how everyone looks down on them but don't realise that they make their lives hard by acting this way and dressing like that makes people look down on them. Emo's need to wake up to themselves and realise many people have it so-so-so-so-so-so much worse. I'm sure half of the Congo would give all 4 limbs to be in white middle class suburbia.
emo people: My chemical romance, Perez Hilton, Lady Gaga

A stupid word 12 years old enjoy calling each others in chat rooms or online games. if you ever do any of these, prepare to be called emo: -Wear anything black, even with only a little bit of black. -Talk about anything that happened in your life. -Have emotions. -Listen to any kind of music (except rap or country, if you listen to this you are already a ''fag'') -Do or say just about anything. emo is the new lol.
You: Ok back, I wasn't feeling like cooking so I just called pizza. _rand0m_1337: emo

Emo is term used today to describe mostly anyone. Its used to desribe people from jocks to nerds. It is often confused with hardcore or scene. If someone takes a picture of themselves on myspace that involves a mirron, real close up, or from an odd angle, its considered emo. Most people that desribe others as emo usually dont understand what emo truly is. Some common misconceptions are with the trends emo kids follow. They usually wear tight pants (not girl pants) only black t-shirts, studded belts but white sometimes if they know much about the scene lol, and often have hair covering one side of their face. What is sad about these characteristics is that they desribe many other stereotypes as well, such as scene, goth, nerds, wanna be goths, ex-nerds, and well mostly anyone. The people that make fun of emo are even worse. Emo kids follow trends just like everyone else. Is a preppy person not following a trend by shoping for clothes at aeropostal or a store of that sort? They just are insecure about themselves and feel a need to pick on someone that may be more open with their feelings or someone who fits the stereotype. If people are to continue making fun of the emo fad, they need to actually take a look at people who call themselves emo, and see them for who they really are and not just some stereotype.
YOUR EMO BECAUSE YOU WEAR GIRL PANTS. wait a second. most hardcore bands wear girlpants... As I Lay Dying, After the Burial, Still Remains, The Chariot. They're not emo... sooooo.... man stop confusing me
