Emo
With the term emo originating from the Emotive rock sounds of the 80s, kids who prefer an emo style often dress similar to the bands they now prefer. Dark colors- usually black, tight, tapering jeans, jackets, funky glasses and Vans are common apparel. Dark hair is also common, and many emo prefer accessories such as studded belts, ear plugs, tattoos, and buttons of their favorite bands or sayings.
Emo has a similar feel to Goths, but is definitely different. The dark colors and dark hair colors are the primary similarities. Overall, Goths prefer a more romantic existence, while Emos are more focused on a more hard-edge, punk approach to fashion.

Well, I don't really like to tell people 'How to be emo' because usually they are posers. Being emo isn't about how you dress. It's about how you are personality wise. Just keep being who you are. As long as you are yourself, and you truly are emo, you'll be fine. As for clothes you can just go into Hot Topic or a Thrift store and pick out anything you like. Now, if you take my advice and you start picking out pink clothes and listening to Nelly and High School Musical, you are a poser emo. I hope this helped.

if you like that clothing style, thazz totally fine, but if your not depressed or anything, i wouldnt go cutting yourself just so you cant say your emo, who cares if people think your a poser? be who you are and who God made you.. and love it no matter what anyone says.

wear LOTSA black, cut-up pants, always have your hair in your face, listen to heavy metal, wear goth/skull/creepy shirts, slouch all the time, and be depressed. Dye your hair pitch black.
