Wiki's emo article is too funny. Here's an excerpt though, I think it explains well enough why "emo" is annoying:
In reference to emo music: Wrote:The perception was that melodrama was feigned, an effort to display depression or dysfunction where it did not actually exist. Popular comments such as "don't be so emo" and "cheer up, emo kid" expressed the belief among detractors that fans of emo music took themselves too seriously.And one more:
In reference to the internet: Wrote:The term "emo" has also been used in recent years on the Internet as a form of insult, especially toward those who appear emotionally unstable, or those who talk about issues in their personal lives to people in public forums or chat rooms.I'd also add that they tend to be hyper-sensitive and overanalytical people, thus making any conversation a laborious task. And that's really the problem with emo people, they zap all my energy with their glass half empty obsession.
