Emo does stand for emotional but i tend to think of it as very introspective rock music that is usually on the softer side of things and has heartfelt lyrics.

except with one amendment, they'd be constantly saddened by the fact that they don't have a girlfriend, cause lets face it, none of us would go out with the guy you just described, well except the "emo girls" but then they'd just get each other depressed and ebd up comiting suicide together, so they dont really count.

Ok, I wear the tight T-shirts, I side-part the hair, I have the lip pierced at the side. I'm an emo-kid in appearance, and this has caused many an insult to be hurled at me from the dark depths of the metalheads corner of the warehouse where I work. But hey, I listen to much heavier stuff. Dillinger Escape Plan, Killswitch Engage? Emo? I think not. I think emo is a very imprisoning term anyway. If you can put The Blood Brothers and Dashboard Confessional in the same genre, there's something wrong.
