I know this definition isn't the sum total, but when I've heard 'emergent' in a critical tone of voice, it has referred to the churches who are going more casual. Among some of the characteristics would be - no suits, no pulpit, maybe the service is held in a coffee shop. People sit around and have Bible studies, instead of a traditional church service.
Basically anything non-traditional.
The word 'relevant' is usually thrown in there in a derisive tone of voice, too.
