And be yourself, too. Don't let anyone bother you or get you down for expressing yourself!

Answer 2

emo kids are awesome - they listen to groups like blink 182, all those punk groups - the new def of emo is totally different than what it used to be

Also, just want to let you know not to listen to LOTHARIO. This guy makes up bull stories. It's not true. He's some 14-year-old boy who sits around on Yahoo Q&A all day harassing people and making up stories just to get a rise out of people. Just take a look at the other questions and answers he's posted if you don't believe me. Don't even give him the time of day.

Answer 3

This is an emo...

You must know what emo and scene kids look like right? Right. Black band shirt, studded belt, converse, tight jeans. This is not a guide which is used to just poke fun. If you seriously want to be emo, follow this guide.

Jeans. No other kinds of pants. Hopefully you're skinny because your pants have to be tight. TIGHT. Get girl's jeans. No I'm not kidding. That's what kind of jeans you're going to need.
Shoes. The shoes are 90% of the look. Some people will tell you to get vans or macbeth shoes. DON'T. True emo and scene kids get converse. Get high top converse one stars or all stars. Make sure they're black. With out these you could just be a guy with tight girl's jeans and black shirts.
Shirts. Again, skinny = good. You're going to be wearing tight black band shirts, so it's good that you dont have any fat poking out. Wear band shirts. You don't even have to like the band, just as long as it's emo/hardcore/post-hardcore stuff. And it has to be black. Not grey. BLACK.
Music. Listen to emo stuff like Dashboard Confessional, Panic! At the Disco, Saves the Day, and other things. Not just emo though, listen to emocore, screamo, post-hardcore (like From First to Last and Thrice) and hardcore. Know the music and listen to it often
Go to shows. Going to shows lets you hang out with fellow emo kids and have fun listening to underground bands.
Hair. Emo hair is typically black, long, greasy, and in front of your eyes. If your hair is blonde it can still work, just as long as it's in your eyes and isn't too blonde. Blonde with black streaks looks good too. Scene kids: black with tons of colors in it.
Glasses. You can wear emo glasses or not. You don't have to. Emo glasses are typically big framed square black glasses.
Studded belts are essential. Your shirts are going to be right below your waist. Enough for the belt to show. I'd only wear 2 at a time, but make sure the belt is white and studded.

Tips
Most emos are vegan, but it is optional
A misconception about emo kids is that they cry a lot. This is not true. Emo kids kind of sulk, look down, etc. It's mostly just the music
Don't let being emo ruin your time at show. Have fun, headbang, dance, jump up and down. Just because you're emo doesn't mean you can't have fun. Another misconeption
Don't change your personality completely. Be yourself, just listen to different music and dress different
You may be called a poser. Doesn't matter. Shrug it off and eventually people will think you're the real deal
Have fun with it :)

Warnings
May get called a poser
May lose a friend or two (i.e. you're a prep and so are all your friends)
ONLY CONVERSE SHOES



Things You'll Need
Studded belts
Black band shirts
Emo music
Tight, girly jeans
Motivation? I guess. Meh.

Answer 4

An Emo is someone who whines and complains alot, has a huge fasination with pain and misery, long hair that covers their face, and wants to cut their wrists, wanting to die but would rather ***** about doing it than actually doing it.

Think of them as like a suicidal goth kinda.

The internet is full of them >.<

That is Emo.

Answer 5

emo stands for emotional... these are kids that wear VERY tight jeans... usually have a side fringe and tights tops... they will usually wear converse and studded belts... they are a parasitic evolution of goth, punk, mettlers... they are very highly respected by anyone in the alternative scene... they are joked to cry all the time and write **** poetry whilst hacking at their wrists... they will like bands like lost prophets and other **** like that... it is a huge insult to be called an emo if you aint, especially if you only called them poohed!!

Answer 6

It used to describe kids who have a pathetic and lonely life. And are on the verge of committing suicide. EMO people pretty much have no friends and are made fun of ALOT!!

Answer 7

your an emo...hahahaha... look it up...youll laugh

Answer 8

no idea
