To feel. Pain is a feeling everyone can feel and makes us human. To me, this is the connection between emos and the idea of existence. If they can feel, they know they are alive, and pain is the most intense feeling we can all feel.Its normally a psychological thing, but can be a ritual. Psychologically, most emos that cut themselves suffer depression and other mental issues, and hurting themselves, they are actually asking for help and attention, or taking the pain to forget about life and suffering for a while. Ritually, its not as.....emo, but emos like to experience and embrace all feelings, including pain and other dark emotions. So it can be a way of life as well. But overall, its to feel and a form of expression.
This is a sterotype. Not all "emo" people cut themselves, just like not all "preps" have daddy's credit card everyweekend to go to the mall and buy clothes. If your question is why do people cut, its to feel pain. To feel SOMETHING.

They think they have nothing to lose, but they have everything to lose.
Their life.
