A person who is tounch with their feelings and inner self. Most have a finge that covers 1 eye. but so do i and im not an emo. Someone who is fun loving but enjoys sitting down and talking about the important things. Most "emos" are intelligent people and dont speek because they do not want to waste their breath on pointless conversations. And spend alot of time writing music or poetry witch is deep and meaningfull. EMOS ARE NOT SUICIDLE THEY DO NOT SLIT THEIR WRISTS!!!!(not all of them)
An Example is half the musicians in the rock seen.....like Ian watkins-in the rooftops video the guys who did the song dirty lil secrets and the stero-type emo Hortine heights or what ever their called.

Okay. Apparently no one even knows what emo is anymore. So let me straighten that out for you. Emo is a genre of music. Yes music. It originated in the 80s with bands such as Gray Matter or Fire Party. There are several waves of emo. So no, Emo is not the kind of shit that you can find nowadays on any teenager dressed in black. It is not MCR. It is not FOB, and it is not Hawthorne Heights or Dashboard Confessionals either. The term emo has been mutated and twisted into something that anyone should be ashamed to call themselves. Since when is it allright to mutilate yourself so that you may appear "cool" or fit a certain stereotype. Whatever that is, it is not emo. The fact that emo is now a certain stereotype, makes me want to puke. No. What makes me want to puke is what being labeled as "emo" entails. It's sick. It's just sick.
I hardly think there is such thing as 'emo' anymore.

short for emotional. Usually misstakened as a style or trend. emo simply means emotional, your outfit can't be "emotional".

Teenager lucky enough to live in a place like America, but still deems their life to be sad and wrought with misfourtune. Better off than a grand majority of the world, but is somehow convinced they have a miserable existance. An idiot.
"That poor child is so emo..." "Dude, he's a middle class American. He has nothing to be emo about." "Oh. Fag." "Not a fag, just a Douchebag"
