  A stereotype is a generalization about a group of people based off the actions of someone like them. Such as all blondes are dumb. Thats a stereotype because although some blondes are dumb they all arent. Just like emos are depressed. Its true some kids who dress in the emo style are depressed not all are. Usually stereotypes have a negative meaning and are offensive.
