considered Emo?????

Question

ok, most of my friends in school think I'm Emo. I listen to Music showed in this link:
http://www.pplaylist.com/user/10410098
plus, they think I'm too quiet and I usually have an impassive and stoic face, which I think isn't true, but heck, how do I know If i can't even see myself. I also dress a lot in black and they say that I use the word pointless too much. and they also say that I always look sad. but does all this mean I'm Emo or something? please help!!!

let's say i cut myself and i usually feel apathetic, unmotivated to do anything. i was reading the other day that when you're in a depression, that you have sleep cycles in which you wake up frequently in the night, which is what I have. is it possible that I could have a depression or am I just in a phase in life?

i would also like to thank you in advance for answering.

Answer 1

the "emo" fad did not start these types of behaviors. people have been like this for a very long time.

Answer 2

1. You listen to very good music. Do you like Midtown, Cobra Starship and The Academy Is?
2. Unless you cut yourself, your not emo.
3. Maybe you're depressed, idk. But only you know if your sad or not.
4. People will label a tree with dark leaves emo. it's ridicoulous.
5. Maybe your not sad and depressed, but just 'scene'.
6. Im very quiet, say pointless, dress in black often and aparently look sad too. Im not emo. Im a bit scene but not really.
Haters - dont discriminate the damn emos. it's annoying and getting old.

Answer 3

hey sweetie!!!
i think ur just going through a bit of a phase right now. ur young and trust me we have all gone through our depression days when we were ur age!!!!
dont worry!
i do think that ,maybe u have a little depression in u but that is nothing to feel bad about!
speak to a counselor or a close friend or a family member that u trust...this way u dont have to figure all this out urself!!!!!
dont care too much about what others say about u...u r u and noone should change that ok?
why would u want to be like everyone else? girl u would just be BORING to me!!!!
LOL!!!!!!!!
just try ur best not to let what others affect u in a negative way and hun, u will be alright!!!!!
if u dont have a close friend to talk to...then u can talk to me whenever u want ok? I MEAN IT!!!!!!

Answer 4

1 ur what ever you want to be
2 that was mostly metal goth is a option
3 Depression is not a style or phase and needs attention!
4WHY THE **** DO U NEED TO BE CLASSIFIED!!!!! simpley tell them to shove their stupid classifications up their ***
Your only emo if you wanna be if not then no if so then yes
PS these kids sound like the ones in my school, calling me goth, emo etc the color of cloth and facial exspression of bordom shouldnt matter, so dont listen or throw it right back at them
hopes this helps ^_^

Answer 5

Don't listen to them, anyone who doesn't smile constantly, show much energy and listens to emotional music is considered "Emo" Its just a brand people have recently developed to describe certain types of people. It annoys me. You may be more quiet and wear a lot of dark colours but that doesn't mean you should be branded as "Emo".

Answer 6

This is probably what you really don't wanna hear but;;
You are what you are. and you should never let ANYONE tell you otherwise.
The music you listen to does not consist of labeling.. and especially not your facial expressions...?!
And if you cut yourself that may mean you are emo but no need for labeling if you do. That just means you need to tell someone and seek medical help.
But you cannot rely on people from Yahoo! answers..
You have to speak for yourself and figure it out on your own.
The best we can do for you is give advice.

Answer 7

Are you contemplative, often lost in deep thought? Do you focus on things of substance rather than "fluff?" Would you rather go around with a Cheshire Cat grin on your face and look like a moron?

If you aren't depressed, over focused on despair issues, and live a healthy existence with plenty of activity, good food and interesting challenges you can address, you're just fine.

Answer 8

who cares if ur emo or not? besides ppl have many different defintions for 'emo'... not all emo's cut and not all cutter's are 'emo'.. technically i believe emo is more of a style of dress.. anything else, cutting, dark thoughts, sadness, is depression. not being 'emo'
as for the music.. its just what u like more than anything

Answer 9

you sound about 12. What are you looking for an emo diagnosis or something. Its just a word that people use to describe music/people/styles etc.
