That's sad because I'm sure it's used improperly to insult people... :(
It's short for "Emotive Hardcore". It was a Punk Subgenre, that is actually dead now. It started in the DC area with bands like The Rites of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate.
It had NOTHING to do with kids with hair in their eyes. If you want to label them (which is stupid) "Scene Kids" is the best term because it's not a genre. :)
According to Google Definition this is what it means, Emo is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics.
I also heard it means people who cut themselves but I doubt that's true about all of em.
