I know what an Emo is, what they look like, but what does the actual word mean?

I work with a number of these unfortunate creatures and I am informed that it is because they appreciate being given lifestyle advice by proponents of a deeply ill described strand of piffle known as 'emotional rock', effeminate looking coves with overlong monikers such as 'Panic at the Disco' and 'Help me mater my afternoon tea has gone cold'.
I am also informed that they have spawned a sub genre known as 'scenes' or 'scene kids' (I may have mispelt this) who, I understand, can afford more hairspray.
Why these people think we need to view their outsize underware is quite beyond me.
Do not confuse with Avant-garde gentleman extraordinaire Mr.Brian ENO or of course ENO, the English National Opera.

It comes from the word "emotional" because emos are notorious for being emotional and listening to emotional music.

Emotional
EMOtional rock.
I HATE LABELS...I understand that sometimes you have to use them, but I hate labelling people just by how they look, or dress...or who they hang out with. I hate people that won't talk to certain people because they are labelled that way....what if you just passed up a good friend? You'll never know, right?
