What defines normal dress!!! Pisses me off!!!?

Question

I asked the question "What do you think of the emo culture"
I talked about how I am a scene (branch of emo) how I wear tight pants, and also listen to the music.
well I got this answer back...



personally emo kinda freaks me out....id say loose the tight pants and go for something more baggy. maybe just go for a different style of clothes....u said that ur personality isn't emo so don't dress like it is...people will atomaticaly think that u r a cutter and and full blown emo. maybe cut ur hair and just dress normal....people won't judge you so harshly


Now on here standards, how does she not know that she is the un-normal one? Plz clarify for me and answer my previous emo question, not enough opionons on it.

Answer 1

that answer you got was out of line. She bascally told you to dress the way she would if she were you. Which would then be..not you.
How dumb. Wear what ever you want, and who cares what category you fall under.

Answer 2

Actually, I guess I"m out of the loop, cause I did not even know the term till I ran into your question; but you know what, I think style of dress is just another form of communication and a way to connect with like-minded people. Everyone should try out different styles and explore all the ranges of their personalities, I say. But, just like repeated lies become accepted as truth, I don't think you want to get locked in to a style that's not really you.

If you'll excuse me, I gotta go put on my clown face now...

"Normal" is not a definition; it's a dryer setting, is all.


Per Wiki:
By almost all current definitions, emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) often brushed to one side of the face, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands (or other designed shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, Chuck Taylor All-Stars, skate shoes, or other black shoes—often old and beaten up—and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses.[5][2][6][7][8][9] Emo fashion has changed with time; early trends included haircuts similar to those worn by the Romulans and Vulcans in Star Trek, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets (often called gas station jackets).[6]

When referring to a person's personality and attitude, most definitions of emo hold that an emo person is emotionally candid, sensitive, shy, introverted, glum, and quiet.[7] Emo personality is also often connected with writing poetry that addresses confusion, depression, loneliness, and anger, all resulting from the world's inability to understand the author. Emo poetry uses a combination of any of: a highly emotional tone; stream of consciousness writing; a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme; references to the flesh, especially the heart; heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives; and concern over the mutability of time, love, or both. Themes such as life is pain are common

Answer 3

I don't think she's talking about "normal dress" for 40 year-olds. You ask what normal is? Look around at your friends, classmates, people in your group and your age. Do you dress like them? "Normal" means "going with the norm" or majority. She didn't say anything disrespectful or mean to you. Basically, she said that others would have a negative impression of you if you dress a certain way. This site is a forum for giving and receiving information and opinion. I don't know the person who gave you this answer. Still, I'd say to take it in the spirit in which it was intended, which is helpful rather than hurtful. Read it again this time without judgement.

Answer 4

What difference does it make? Why are you so concerned with "normalcy"?

Emo culture is a trend, just like any other. Opinions are moot. People will judge you your entire life for one thing or another.

Answer 5

Normal is in the eye of the beholder.
Please just wear more than a butt flap, and I'm cool!;)

Answer 6

Look, if you like it, wear it. If you find that it creates problems for you in life, don't wear it.

Answer 7

whoa...get over yourself...

you asked a question and got an answer...surprised??

Answer 8

p.s. not normal either!!

Answer 9

if it keeps you from being naked...wear it...
