Emo? what does that mean?

Question:It used to stand for a type of punk music. now i hear people using it loosely like, " that's hot"... are people so completley out of touch that they can use any term to degrade what they don't understand?

Answers:
Emotional. its all about the plight of underage nonworking Americans and how they're oppressed by unsurmountable forces such as parents and driving laws.

Believe me people understand what emo is. I mean were not analyzing black holes here.
emo short for emotional really
EMOtional. yes it is a sub-genre of music. And that connected to the type of music. idky people use it to discribe things.
Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a somewhat ambiguous slang[1] term most frequently used to describe or refer to the fashion, style[2], attitude or overall subculture linked to post-hardcore fashion and its subculture. Emo may also describe emo music or a general emotional state (as in to "feel emo"). It is also, sometimes pejoratively, used to identify someone fitting a particular emo stereotype or category, or of being overly-emotional.[3][4][5] The term's definition is the subject of debate.

By almost all current definitions, Emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands (or other designed shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and, if they wear glasses, they will often be thick, black horn-rimmed glasses.[2][3][4][7][8] Emo fashion has changed with time; early trends included haircuts similar to those worn by the Romulans and Vulcans in Star Trek, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets (often called gas station jackets).[7]
I understood Emo to be one who acts with fake emotion. Such as that emo kid cuts himself becuase his parents took away his cell phone. You know those kids who want there lives to suck cause they think its cool to be fucked up.
pretty much EMOtional..like usually emo people are depressed, and they wear black a lot. but just because they wear black doesn't mean they're emo or goth
I wish my grass was emo so that it would cut itself
Emo as I understand it is similar to Goth but different in the fact that an Emo is an 'em'otional person that dresses similar to a Goth, but also damages themselves for attention.
"emo"
-means, your being too emotional. . .

i know a lot of people who are emo. . .
and yes, they tend to be too emotional wherein extent, it's like an exaggeration in showing off their feelings. . .
