"Emo" now seems to mean "emotional" generally but first came about to describe a genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

technically, this is a reference to a style of music which values EMOtion over rhythm, harmony, etc. Now the term is connected with the movement's most loyal followers, teens who are often depressed; sometimes synonomous with "Gothic."
