What is boredom?
Is boredom an emotion, or just the default state you're in when your mind isn't busy with anything?

It's whatever you want it to be. From one person to the next, we experience and understand things differently. Here's an example: think about the color red. How do you know it's red? Is it possible that I see red as your yellow? Your own perception is your only reality. There is no actual reality outside of your self because you can only experience life through yourself. To answer your question specifically, both of the things that you described could be considered boredom. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Most words have many meanings and different ways of using them. Personally, I understand boredom as having a negative connotation so I would say that it's more of an emotion than the mind not being busy. Sometimes it's nice when your brain isn't busy. :)

Well, boredom, like any other emotion doesn't have a well-defined definition. It varies from person to person. Personally, I would define it as indecisiveness to do something. When you are not having something to do and you can't just go out to sleep or relax and it doesn't feel fine. That is boredom. Sorry, if the answer is a bit confusing. Every emotion is like this.
Regards.
