OK there are two things you can mean when you say "What 'emo'
?"
1. You don't know what emo means
OR
2. You know what it means but do not agree with my previous statement and finds it amazing of what I consider emo, emo. e.g how can that be emo?
Heres the definition of emo found in urban dictionary if you don't know.
Quote
Normally a 15-17 year old teenager. Considers themselves to be much more in touch with their emotions than anyone else; whereas they really just feel sorry for themselves. Most emo's will claim to be depressed, or simply misunderstood. They think they are unique, and fail to realise that they actually look like half the teenage population of south england. You can recognise an emo by looking for these general characteristics:
SKINNY JEANS (both boys and girls) The tighter the better. If an emo can hardly walk because of their jeans, then they've reached optimum emo status.
STRIPEY JUMPERS. Normally black and grey. If you're a boy, this should again be worn as tightly as possible. Breathing comfortably is a luxury you may have to sacrifice.
TATTY CONVERSE. Usually drawn on, as most emo's regard themselves as artists.
BLACK LONG HAIR COVERING ONE SIDE OF YOUR FACE. Vision can be compromsised for style as an emo. Try and make it as greasy as possible.
Finally, emo's MUST look down on everyone else, accuse them of being uncreative, judgemental, and the sole cause of their 'depression'. If you're a hardcore emo you'll cut yourself occasionnally. If you're not, then you at least have to pretend you do.
It's also a music genre:

a) short for the term emotional...in a musical sense
music derived in the 80's... with such bands as Rites of Spring, Texas is the Reason, and more.
I also read in urbandictionary, emo's are opposite to goths.
Quote
Emos Hate themselves
Goths hate Everyone
Emos Want to Kill themselves
Goths Want to kill Everyone
Most of they time emo's have a strand of purple hair with black hair, but I not 100% about that.
BTW this topic is goin great keep on visiting it and add to the discussion.
LOL I don't like emos, and Nirvana arent one of my fave bands...
But you're definition and source of "emo" isn't very accurate. Nirvana isn't emo, and I'm sick of people grouping music into one thing... (People call Tool emo... wtf?)
It's mostly mainstram followers or RHCP and other extremely popular bands that call anything and everything emo. Heck I do love RHCP... But damn... some fans are ignorant, not directed at you, but a few of my friends at school.
Anyways. Led Zeppelin are my fave band... In fact the BEST rock band EVER!!!
