It's a derogatory term for a youth culture that makes a big deal out of their pain and suffering. The name is also tied to a particular brand of music that also follows that trend.
Basically, take the normal teenager full of typical angst, slap on some black clothes and size 3 jeans and add a dash of incredibly bad music and you've got your prototypical emo clown.
Some kids in to "emo" tend to take it too far and start cutting themselves. This is kinda rare, but it's part of the mystic.
Teenagers are stupid.
