"Emo is a slang term used to describe a range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music and its related scene. As an adjective, emo can describe a style of fashion or music; or a general state of unhappiness or melancholy (as in "to feel emo"), as those stereotyped of emo are often unhappy, think they are misunderstood, and may have mild paranoia. Emo is also used as a noun, often pejoratively, to identify a member of the "emo scene" or someone viewed as fitting the "emo" stereotype. Was derived from the word "emotional"."
For example, if someone spilled their soda and started crying and sulking you could say." Stop being so emo."

Riiight. Makes No Sense?That's funny buddy. OK let me explain it. Emotional is the whole word. That includes kids who have emotional problems and have a hard time dealing with it. The stereo-type is that they cut their wrists which I don't understand because it creates more pain. In my opinion they're just a bunch of babies. Life isn't hard, SUCK IT UP PEOPLE. Everyone is so sensitive nowadays.

It means their anti-social and not fully goth. It does not mean that they cut themselves.
