Poll: Please tell me, what is emo?

I heard these 3 girls arguing about what the definition of "emo" is. One said that it's an emotion. Another said it's basically depression. And one said it's a style. I've been thinking about it all day. So can anybody tell me the true definition of "emo." And is it bad to be emo?

    It is a style, a stereo-type and it means Emotional, people just use it as a style.

    No, I don't think so, it is mainly just for posers who are looking too be different which is the exact thing they are not doing.

    It's a trend. That isn't even cool anymore. It entails wearing really tacky black clothes and glove things. Cutting yourself and touching yourself to hawthorne heights songs. Drinking coffee, writing bad poetry, and a fringe are also common. Also even though you hate the world you love dinosaurs and think that when they say rawrrr it means they love you but really dinosaurs would eat you not love you.
