I want to be emo!

what is the true meaning of emo?because some reason I rele wanna be a emo person but people think emos cut themselves…do they?

Answer #1

Emo is a music genre and a type of style. People tend to judge “emo kids” by what’s on the outside and don’t even bother to get to know them. That’s bullsh*t. a lot of lies/rumors have been started about them.

There’s really nothing wrong with them at all. They’re not all attention seekers, only the posers act like that. They’re not weird, scary, evil or anything like that. A lot of people don’t know the true meaning behind emo as a style. A lot of lies have been started about it such as emos cut/are depressed/are suicidal 24/7. That’s COMPLETELY untrue. Suicide is something that should be taken seriously no matter what and has nothing to do with ANY stereotype. Cutting/self harm is an important matter that needs to be tended to ASAP. It also has nothing to do with any stereotype. Depression is a MEDICAL CONDITION. It has NOTHING to do with stereotypes. a lot of people have depression issues. That’s something that should be taken care of by a doctor.

~As I’ve already stated, cutting/depression/suicide has NOTHING to do with being emo or any other stereotype. Cutting is a serious matter that needs to be handled ASAP. Depression is a MEDICAL CONDITION and a lot of people have it, NOT just emos. That should be treated by a doctor. Suicide is something that should ALWAYS be taken seriously no matter what. It has nothing to do with stereotypes of ANY KIND.

~Bulimia has NOTHING to do with ANY stereotyes either. This is a MEDICAL CONDITION that should be treated by a doctor ASAP.

~Dying your hair doesn’t make you emo. A lot of emos have their natural hair color. Hair color has nothing to do with it at all.

~Attention seeking also has nothing to do with emo. Attention seekers are in a class all by themselves.

~People who say things like “I wanna turn emo”, “Am I an emo?”, “How do I be emo?”, “I think I’m going/turning emo!”, “Help me, I’m emo!” or “Help I think I’m emo” are considered posers. If you have to ask other people how to look/be something, chances are your NOT and just trying to be something your not.

~Ignore the haters. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being emo. Emos are actually nice, friendly people.

~A lot of lies/rumors have been started about emos such as they cut, they’re always depressed, they’re very btchy and moody. This is NOT true. As I’ve already stated, self harm/cutting and depression have nothing to do with ANY stereotype. And you wanna know why some emos might be bthcy? Because they’re sick of the fcktards who act like they know everything about emo, when in reality they don’t know sht because they’re the idiots that believe they lies! That’s very wrong indeed.

~You DON’T HAVE to have piercings to be emo, or be shy. Some emo kids are actually very out-going. Piercings are a form of self expression and body art. It doesn’t make you emo just because you choose to have them.

~Converse isn’t something that makes you emo either. Some emos wear vans, others wear skater shoes.

~Wearing blue, or other funky colored pants… not emo. Sorry, they wear whatever they want. Not ALL are skin tight either. Some are just nromal skinny jeans or even a little loose-fitting.

~Band T’s are also NOT a must. They wear any shirt they want to.

~If a guy is wearing tight clothes such a skinny jeans or slim fit t-shirts and makeup/nail polish… that DOESN’T make him “emo” or gay. They make skinny jeans for guys AND girls. Makeup/nail polish has become a unisex thing, meaning it’s alright for GUYS AND GIRLS to wear it. People have the right to wear whatever the hell they please without being judged.

~If a guy crys, it doesn’t make him “emo”. Guys are humans too, therefore they have feelings/emotions. It’s 100% completely normal for a guy to cry/show emotion. We all have to sometimes.

Now THIS is advice for ANYONE to follow, including yourself -

ALWAYS be yourself. NEVER change who you are for ANYONE no matter what. Never change yourself just to fit in or anything like that either. True friends/lovers would be able to accept you for who you truly are.

Answer #2

emo people are heart broken I understand them they dont laugh at everything they see they just feel bad everytime they are really lonly and thats why they cut now if you like their style uy can do so wear it or something I belive emo is a sirious problem to be!

Answer #3

I wanted to apologize for being kind of a b*tch…I was in a pretty bad mood earlier, so, my sincerest apologies!!!

Answer #4

emo is a type of music, if your trying to label YOURSELF, get a life just be you

Answer #5

Lame sterotype & a bunch of posers :)

Answer #6

Sorry to say but your just posing as an Emo person which is called labeling which EVERYBODY dislikes. Some do cut themselves but what your doing is just wrong,best thing to do is drop it before people notice it around you and begin insulting you which you really don’t want,I know what it feels like cause after I went back to my Goth lifestyle,people thought I was posing and labeling myself,I proved some wrong.

Posers are not liked at all,especially me,I REALLY dislike them. You don’t become Emo over night ya know like someone has put down,if you were smart enough you WILL drop it and move on cause it just seems like your a little lost.

Answer #7

Unfortuanlty majority of the people who talk about emo and majority of the kids who call themselves emo still have no idea what the word actually means emo is NOTHING more than a style of dress and a genre of music it has NOTHING to do with cutting (self harm) depression (a mental disorder) suicide, eating disorders, ect because feelings and emotions play NO part in any label or stereotype which is what majority of the kids who talk about emo and majority of the kids who call themselves emo still don’t understand only be emo if you actually want to but remember, you can still take parts from different styles and incorporate them into your own style without slapping a label on yourself so really. Just be yourself, if it’s actually what emo really means, be that if its not, don’t pretend to be something your not

Answer #8

u sound like a wanna be poser and seriously anyone who is that depressed that they have to cut themselves should get mental help..if you wanna know the defination then ask someone who is emo and seriously who said you could just become emo??!!! its a life style choice not some Halloween fun game so stop saying you really wanna be emo, because thats sad and no I dont hate emos and I have nothing against them im just saying you are wierd

Answer #9

Don’t turn emo! I don’t mean to sound like some of the others who have answered your question but if you just become emo all suddenly, everybody’s going to think you’re a poser. But if you really want to be emo, then go ahead and do it. Just do yourself a favor and think about it and take it slow and don’t become emo overnight, that’s just foolish. I hope I helped a bit!

And p.s., not all emo people cut themselves. I don’t myself and I’m emo. Some just do it because, they take it that cutting themselves is the only pain they have any control over. That’s the way I see it.

Answer #10

Not all emos cut you frickin poser.

Answer #11
