Emo doesnt not stand for Emotional. Emo stands for emotionally charged hardcore punk which was a genre around the 80's. There are a very few emo bands today. rock that you hear on tv is not emo. Emo is not a fashion statement, the kids that people usually call emo are called and should be called "scene".

EMO stands for "Emotional". It is a type of music and also lifestyle that is a sweeping trend for young people. It is like "wearing your heart on a sleeve" Some of the EMO groups are "Hawthorne Heights, The Used, Taking BAck Sunday, ... among others" The songs are very emotional and sometimes depressing. Unfortunately many "emo" kids are into self mutilation , as in cutting themselves. The Emo kids usually dress somewhat gothic, in dark clothing.

I don't know what answer you are looking for, but the part of the world I live in, and the work I am connected to, EMO means "Emergency Measures Organization". Possibly this abreviation has other meanings as well. Just my stab at it.

It stands for EMOtional.
It is pretty much a new age goth and a trend where they feel it is a rebelous act to wear black eye liner and dark clothes. They also like to act depressed and cry. they will also cut their wrists for attention. Emo is stupid and if Zach (got his name from your nickname) goes emo, hit him.
