  3. (fashion, aesthetic) Exhibiting a fashion or visual aesthetic associated with the subculture; a presentation deliberately or unintentionally incorporating dark clothing, asymmetrical haircuts covering one eye, studded accessories, and often borrowing elements from gothic fashion, Burtonesque macabre, or brightly colored scene or geek aesthetics. Hot Topic is historically recognized as the go-to mall emo store, particularly during the 2000s, serving as a primary hub for alternative, scene, and punk fashion, music merch, and accessories like studded belts.

Usage notes

  • Not to be confused with the socio-political rebellion of punk or the romanticized, atmospheric macabre of goth, emo is distinctly characterized by its focus on internal, confessional vulnerability and personal emotional anguish.
  • The term is heavily contested due to its semantic shift; purists often restrict the definition to 1980s and 1990s underground movements), however, common linguistic usage firmly embraces senses validating the 2000s mall emo or general emotionality as legitimate definitions.
  • The term has evolved dramatically. It began with the unassuming, casual geek aesthetic of the 1990s (thick-rimmed glasses, sweater vests); by the mid-2000s, it absorbed heavily stylized, gothic-lite, and macabre elements (eyeliner, black dyed hair); by the late 2000s, it splintered into the scene aesthetic, which combined the core emo silhouette with neon colors, tongue-in-cheek irony, and internet culture.
  • In the late 2000s, emo was frequently used as a pejorative term to mock teenagers who were perceived as melodramatic or attention-seeking; in the 2020s, with the rise of nostalgia, the term has been largely reclaimed by millennials and Gen Z as a badge of honor, often used ironically or affectionately to describe both themselves and the music of their youth.

Adverb

emo

  1. maybe

Latin

FWOTD – 16 July 2013

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *emō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁em- (“to take, distribute”), with excrescent p in ēmptum. The origin of the perfect form is slightly more convoluted. According to De Vaan and Rix, it may have originated from a Proto-Indo-European reduplicated stative form. However, the origin of Latin long-vowel perfects is generally disputed, and other linguists suggest it may have derived from a Narten-type present. Numerous related verbs such as sūmō or dēmō have a perfect stem ending in -psī. De Vaan argues that these new stems are innovative, and were formed after these related verbs had become synchronically unidentifiable with emō.

Cognate with Lithuanian im̃ti, Old Church Slavonic имѫ (imǫ) and possibly Old Armenian իմանամ (imanam). Possibly related to Proto-Indo-European *nem- (“to take or give one's due”), with its descendants English nim, Danish nemme, Dutch nemen, German nehmen, West Frisian nimme, Ancient Greek νέμω (némō).

1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
