    My personal definition is it's short for 'emotional to an extreme, depressed/depressing'. Unfortunately, all the masochistic idiosyncracies (sp?) were added over time.

    Check Wikipedia for a more detailed explanation.

    Social groups on the whole bother me, but emos are possibly the worst. If I sat here thinking about it long enough I could probably come up with some even more vicious things to say about them, but it probably wouldn't be appropriate.
    Hah, me too, I'm just scared to write them down!
    The below sentence is true.

    To me, emo means "emotional hardcore".

    I don't think I could word this any better even if I tried. Perfect.

    To me it's a mood, especially being in touch with sadness. I find that most emos also express themselves through music and poetry. I think it's very possible to be emo without wanting to kill yourselves, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of emos do want to.

    That is the most generalizing thing I've ever read.

    Someone who immitates symptoms of various forms of clinical depression and/or other despression/manic disorders to gain attention.

    That's my definition.

    Emo means never having to say you're sorry.

    It is simply just another social group. They seperate themselves by being something like sad goths. <-generalization

    They aren't necessarily suicidal. In fact, most aren't.

    Typically are poeticall or musically inclined.

    Usually wear black and often dye their hair black.

    Aren't exactly different from any other person on this planet.

    I like their music.

    I could totally be emo, but I am way to happy and don't wear black. So I guess I could be scene, except I am to nice of a person and don't have long cool hair.

    But, dinosaurs and TMNT rock!

    They say I am an emo so I guess emo means being me.

    They're kind of like Gothic people, right? Just extremely down and depressed all the time?
