It's short for 'emotional'
The stereotypical emo usually has dark hair, which almost always has an asymmetric fringe ('bangs') hanging over one eye, glasses need to be thick and black if there are any, they always wear skinny jeans and are either genuinely depressed or acting like they are because they think it's cool.
Typical emo obsessioins include Myspace, gigs, and keeping a diary(Usually in the form of a mYSPACE BLOG).
On their feet they sport Converses and believe themselves to be - or genuinely are - artistic, sensitive souls.

Music - a sub-genre of punk that is more emotionally driven rather than energetic. ( Dashboard Confessional, Rites of Spring, Panic at the Disco)
Culture - a sub-culture centered around emo music with clothing styles that range from goth to grunge. Think Vans and Converse shoes, dark eye liner, black hair...
IM slang - still short for emotional, "dont be so emo"

Emo is an informal mention to decribe a situation in which you are over-excited or emotional. Yes, you are right to put this under adolescent, they are so emo.

It literally means someone who is so depressed that they cut thier wrists typically with razor blades. Its also a style among teenagers that is a derivitave of punk and goth mixed together. Also, it can be noticed by long black hair.

For males, it's men who die their hair black and grow it out shaggy, wear slim fitted girl's jeans, and wear black t-shirts and put on make-up. They listen to a certain type of music and are kinda depressed / rebellious / outcasts. For girls, they just dress in darker clothes and wear dark make-up. They are also rebellious, etc.
