A lot of people hate emos because they think they are melodramatic kids who feel authority doesn't understand them. There are really bad jokes like "how many emos does it take to screw in a light bulb? none because they like to sit in the dark" They wear dark colors listen to obscure sometimes not obscure bands. It is just a stereotype and all stereotypes need to be avoided

I believe it describes people who are especially emotional (hence emo). I am not entirely sure who decided it, but I know it's used to describe certain music (usually punk-rock sounding music that is sad and depressing or emotional) and the people who listen to it.
As for street definition, someone is "emo" if he or she is always depressed over things, very dramatic, always overexaggerating things, and is always complaining about his or her life.

emo means emotional. emo started as a fashion trend a cross between goth and punk. and it has moved into music. emo is now a genre. bands that have been around longer call themselves emo now. as well as new band that are emo.

Emo=emotional. I think it started with emotionally charged music like my chemical romance. Its the guys that cry and sing songs and play guitar instead of doing something.
