Humans have this nasty need to feel they belong to something. I am yuppie, hippie or X. Labels and such means naught. you like your music, you feel the emotions in it and the surroundings so you do not need a label. you belong to thine self no to a image that is result of exclusion and incomprehension.





the questions is that you want to please and it is logic you need to survive and for that; need to get along. So how? well ditch the black but no all the black you can still have enough touches of it. arm bands, shoes etc. but then your pals will say you have sold. that you are not with them. Well first tell them to go to hell and then show them you still have the same feelings the same motivations and knowledge. that fashion do not define a person and much less an emo. and do it gradually first lose some item like changing the earings, then pants, then ... and soon you will find a balance a figure that is only you not a copy of a cd cover or best friend outfit. once you reach that none will complain. (or at least it will be not and issue to you)How can i be emo if the rents wont let me die hair let me wear makeup and thinkall the blck i wear is a phase?
There is no reason to slit your wrist or be angry at the world, one day you will realize you have so much to be thankful for. But, if you want to stand out in a crowd and not be a prep, just wear something funky and fun like a tee, some of your favorite jeans and a really cool pair of shoes, then do something funky to your hair; cut it and it give it an edgier look with some edgy color, and wear some really cool earings, then ditch your emo friends and hook up with a really hot guy that you are attracted to, who is not emo, heck maybe a guy in a band and you two can spend your days together.
so is this about rebelling against ur parents and think that going emo is the best way to do it or is it just u. if its u then shorly if ur trule emo then u shud just go out and get it done, and where makeup n where blk n not give what other people think. but if u r rebeling against ur parents, dnt bother, it ant worth it. at the end of the day, they are only doing something that u may have to do latter in life and think how u r realy going to handel the situation when its ur kid. to get round perents thou is just come out wid some realy diplomatin and inteliget reasoning on why u want to change ur aperence and that ur rebeling agiant the goverment or something and mention the 60's that sud help thing alitle
itz best not to be an imo but if itz what u want nuffin can stop u not even ur parents. but war against imo is on the way to england lol
haha, emo is short for emotional. So all u have to do is act emotional... you dont need the style to be emo... thats just called being a poser...
I'm not emo...and dont really get it..BUT..i'd imagine that its more about who you are than what you look like...do you, not everyone else, ya know..
if it's not a phase, then when you're 18, you can wear whatever you want.





Like other people have said, you're clothes don't define you, so who cares if you can't wear black. If that's all you want, then you're not truly emo (whatever that is - I have no idea), you're just a teen who wants to wear black clothes and makeup.
Be yourself. You don't have to change to be ';emo.'; Emo is just a phase. You'll look back on it and think it's stupid you changed. I changed my look and I regret it now in pictures.
Oh my, being emo MUST make you cool.





It IS a phase, your parents are right. How many Emo-dressing-middle aged parents have you seen lately? If you're slitting your wrists, you need to get help. If you're doing it to be emo, you're being stupid. If you're doing it to attempt suicide, you're obviously not trying hard enough. Bottom line: GET HELP.


You will look back at those scars in a few years and regret that they are there. I do these days, back then it was just an adrenaline rush.





Being emo isn't popular, stop fooling yourself. It won't get you into the ';right'; crowd either. Be yourself with natural hair and make-up.





Most guys prefer natural facial features in women for God's sake. You're spending extra money just so you can fit in! Think about this.





Dying your hair is troublesome. When you come to grow out of your emo phase, remember that black hairdye cannot be bleached on top of without great difficulty. It could take a while to grow out completely.


Black is a nice colour to wear... depending on how you wear it. If you want to look trampish or anti-comformist, fine it's your choice. But remember that the day will come when you'll have to go out into the real world to get a job, and look PRESENTABLE.
Get a real problem.
heheheheheh
It's alllllll about how u feel... Like be depressed all the time and cut ur wrists and act angry at the world or sad at the world or the people around you.
Being emo isn't defined by what your wear, it is the way you feel about things. Do you really want to be emo? It can make you depressed and emotional (emo). If you believe you want to be emo you probally shouldnt be emo. Most people who are emo don't even realize that they're emo. Just be yourself.
wear whatever makes you feel good hun xxxxxxxxxxx
