Am I Emo? Please answer.?

Everyone keeps telling me I%26#039;m emo! Is this true? I like anime, manga, nintendo, retro consoles, mac / windows os, cant live without my ipod, cry when i%26#039;m upset, have long boring thoughts about people, draw pictures, watch horror / romance movies, text constantly and write poetry a lot. As for looks I have short dyed hair and a long fringe swept to the side of my face, wear thick rimmed black and white or thick red horn-rimmed glasses. I tend to wear black a lot and buy clothes from a gothic store / h%26amp;m / roxy/ billabong/ rip curl/ beyond retro/ everything but the music, etc. Patterned clothing is best though like stars or skulls or something like that. A studded belt too. Tend to wear quite a lot of eyeliner and bright eyeshadow, dark or bright lipstick. The shoes are Vans or Converse. Happen to wear a Fall out boy wristband quite a lot or nintendo wristbands... As for music I like MCR, Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorn Heights, Jimmy eat world, Fall Out boy, panic! at the disco etc.

Am I Emo? Please answer.?

Reply:first of all EMO stand for Emotional duh! second of al u can just consider your self emo. or other people . the people who call u emo are dumasses and are most likely posers of fashion.(tell em i said that!) If u were emo u wouldnt be posting this question or at least worded it alot differently


trust me ur not emo
Reply:no
Reply:No, your just goth. Emo stands for emotional., like when people cut them selves and threaten suicide and such. Goth is goth, there is a difference. As for those people, there loser. Obviously they care to much about what other people are wearing and make other people feel lame so they look, %26quot;cool%26quot;. They are the losers. As for you, ROCK UR STYLE!
Reply:we dont know if ur an emo , ask ur self.
Reply:u know what? i get fed up of people trying to categorize others. i think it%26#039;s just because they%26#039;re insecure and they feel the need to fit into a particular group, then criticize anyone who%26#039;s different from them. if you happen to wear similar clothes or whatever, it doesn%26#039;t mean your%26#039;re an emo necessarily-i get the impression most people who call themselves emos are more about being depressed than their style?(emo=emotional i think?).





My brother accused me of being an emo the other day just because i was wearing converse! what he failed to notice was that i was also wearing a baby pink top! lol. yet he doesn%26#039;t like people calling him a goth when he goes round with black long dyed hair, motorhead/ slipknot tees, new rock boots (the list goes on...).





so yeah, basically i think you should be yourself, wear what you want to wear, listen to music you like the sound of and not worry too much about what anyone else thinks! and have fun doing it! x
Reply:I%26#039;d say that you were gothic/punk. Not emo.


Emo is just a state of being. Everyone cries when they are upset. If you like anime and manga and nintendo, it doesn%26#039;t mean that you are emo. We are all emo sometime in our life, even if it is just for a few minutes.


There are a lot of those girls at my school that are emo and they%26#039;re pretty cool. It%26#039;s not bad being emo. Being emo is better than being one of those preppy girls who wear abercrombie that just fit in with the crowd (me)! You should be proud of who you are. If anyone goes %26quot;You are so emo%26quot; just go %26quot;Yeah, I am%26quot; Ignore those other people who think emo is weird. They%26#039;re just missing out on some really great people.





Hope I helped!
Reply:emo is a genre of music.


I wish people would comprehend that.


%26quot;Emo%26quot; isn%26#039;t a state of being.
Reply:i wirte, have dyed hair also with a sweep to the side, i wear sk8 shoes, i have 12 tattoo%26#039;s , i have wrist bands. I%26#039;m far from emo....I%26#039;m actually a nurse/ single mother. I%26#039;m also 22. Your style is just you. be creative and live it up. be your self cause no one else can.


B.T.W i also like some of that music.


If people want to call you emo, let them cause if they talk about you then your in the spot light not someone else. Be happy with you you are, you only live once. enjoy it :)


take care.
Reply:no, you cannot be emo.

Reply:Nah, Ur my perfect match! lol





Seriously, I wouldn%26#039;t be surprised if the ppl who call you emo want to slit their wrists every fortnight. I think they%26#039;re probrably jealous. You%26#039;re not emo, goth, or anything else, you%26#039;re who you want to be.





Hope I helped.





And HOW THE HELL can people call nintendo emo?!?
Reply:This isn%26#039;t Emo hun :)





Emo is simply a state of mind


Emotional Kid is what it stands for





IF you are in touch with your emotional side





Yeah why not...you%26#039;re an Emo :)





But looks and hobbies don%26#039;t dominate who you are


Also if you dont WANT to be called an Emo


Then you aren%26#039;t





WE dont have labels


People DECIDE what label to give us


You dont have to let them stick





Good Luck Finding yourself :)





Hope I Helped :)

Reply:Well theres nothing actually wrong with being Emo. I don%26#039;t really get what people have against Emo%26#039;s really. Emu%26#039;s i understands because i was pecked by one once..


Keep in mind that it is just a word. Your a person not a stereotype. :_
Reply:Just because you wear long, black clothes and listen to FOB or MCR it dont mean your an emo. Emos are mostly people who slit their wrists when they are emotional.


So basically if you dont slit your wrists when emotional then your not an emo. Your more of a goth because goths are mostly judged my their clothes, hobbies and thing like that not your inner-self. You wear clothes from gothic stores, listen to FOB and MCR, have converse shoes which dont normally mean a goth but lead to traces of it, Skull patterned clothes, gothic hairstyle, and make-up. People who woulld catch a glimpse of you in the street would think emo/goth straight away because of how you look but your not an emo because of what you look like and what your interests are!





Hope this helps.


Your a goth basically.


:]
Reply:Hun, EVERYONE crys where there upser....EVERYONE likes to draw pictures and listen to falloutboy and watch movies....





your just YOUUUUUUUU
Reply:I%26#039;m the same way but don%26#039;t let people put labels on you.


You%26#039;re not a can of fruit that needs to be labeled.
Reply:No ur not emo. ur more of like goth. Emo%26#039;s cut their wrists, but hopefully u don%26#039;t. Do u??
Reply:no your just trying way to hard. you listen to bad pop bands, and shop at skate.surf stores, cept h%26amp;m they are just kina normal stuff.its quite obvios your asking this question pretending to be ignorant, but really you are hoping people will answer yess. -5scene points for that one. and a couple hundred for the FOB wristband...ew
Reply:dont ever let labels get to you


people who label r just people who have no lives
