'emo' the lable is used to describe people who are often sad and depressed, and often suicidal or self destructive. emo guys have very pale skin, and also usualy wear black eyeliner and girl pants. they are good writers, but pessemistic. and usualy like anime.

i'm assuming you're talking about the punk rock/indie rock emo.
emo has nothing to do with goth, although they can be pretty depressing too.
it's a type of music. an offshoot of punk rock. it started in the early 90's and was originally emotional melodic hardcore(the slow style of hardcore). musically it was influenced a lot by the DC sound(Fugazi, etc.). Lyrically it was mainly about inner pain, i can't get a girl, topics like that. In the late 90's the sound described as emo was a lot more poppy and less harcore sounding but still had the DC melodic influence. They still wrote sad songs about how they were depressed and how they can't get a girl(or boy, a lot of female bands were pretty emo too). The mood of the music ranges from melancholy to severely depressing. they are often vegetarian/vegan(nothing wrong with that), and it's usually safe to say that they don't play sports. the girls are usually pretty hot, but you'll soon develop depression too if you date them(trust me). the fashion is tight clothing, often from a thrift store. the pants are usually highwaters and they may wear old park and recreation t-shirts, cardigans that are too small, button down shirts from the 80's that are too small, polos that are too small, and if they have poor eyesight, Buddy Holly type glasses. A recent addition has been trucker hats too, due to the popularity of indie rock, which is a slightly different animal. The depressing emo vibe has crossed over into hip hop as well with artists such as Slug and Sage Francis and labels such as Anticon. the emo/indie rock fashion sense has also invaded hip hop.

They are emotionally distraught kids(is that the right word) who beileve they..........well hmm... I don't know what they believe but they seem like they're always sad. Man if I could tell them something I'd say "Get over it!". A lot of people call them crybabies. More and more kids today (in order to fit in) act like they're emo(posers). It's like a disease, it's spreading and someone needs to stop it.

They think they're depressed, schizophrenic, bipolar, when really they're just attention-seeking, prepubescent, whiny teenagers.
