Emo people

I have a friend who says she is emo but and I belive her. There is this other kid that always says blonds cant be emo and she cant dye her hair or her mom would kill her. That person is really bothering her and dont say tell a teacher cause where I...

live they say work it out or they'll tie people toether untill the do and yes I have seen them do it before. anyway can blonds be emo?

anybody can be emo, it dosent matter who you are and what other people think. some people even die their hair blond because blond for emos is in. Although people do whatevr they do I would not recomend not being emo, I have been and its a really awful feeling to feel. But its your life, you live it howevr you want to

O.o duhh blonds can be emo... I meen I'm..kinda, sorta, emo, I h0have brown hair..but w/e lol, emo I.a state of mind, it has nothing to do wit0h the way you look...that0s kinda when stereotypical things come in...blah

to be honest I don't know what the hell emo is anymore
I guess thats good

emo was origanly a band in england in the 90's
the style caught on in modern days
ect.

xxpsychopathxx way of explaining all this to you... it seems very irrational =/
hope this helps hunny

Of corse blondes can be emo. I have an emo blonde friend. Shes one of the most emo-est people I know.

sure they can be. but you don't have to let people label you O.o

Wait, if labels are for soup cans then why did you just call her a poser if she is calling herself emo? Poser is a label. But I agree, people need to stop with the labels, it is really annoying. Nobody cares what sub-category you want to fit in to. If you like a certain style, cool. That's fine. Nobody wants to hear about it, nobody cares.

labeling someone as an emo, to the general public, means the style, not by the fact of whether they cut themselves or not.. of course noone cares what you fit into or what you come off as, or what you want to be. people don't care that much to pay attention.
but we're human and WE label PEOPLE.
yeah they're stupid. but we do it every single day, probably without realizing it.
hick, jock, yankee, preppy, punk, indie.
labels.
you've done it, I've done it. I know most people wish it didn't happen. but it's how we categorize ourselves. and lately for teens, by being one of the labels gives us a sense of belonging. everyone wants to be a part of something. labels are a good and bad thing. it's just a part of who we are, and how we act. labeling, and being under a label is a fact of growing up. it happens..
it's not about to change. so we can complain alll night.

The peopl bothering your friend are f*cking idiots. They have no idea what they're talking about so you guys can feel free to ignore them. If that doesn't work and the teachers won't do anything - punch them. That'd probably shut them up haha. Or if you want to do it the nice way, report them to the police for harassment. Anyway -here are the real facts on emos -

People tend to judge them by what's on the outside and don't even bother to get to know them. That's bullsh*t. a lot of lies/rumors have been started about them.

There's really nothing wrong with them at all. They're not all attention seekers, only the posers act like that. They're not weird, scary, evil or anything like that. A lot of people don't know the true meaning behind emo as a style. A lot of lies have been started about it such as emos cut/are depressed/are suicidal 24/7. That's COMPLETELY untrue. Suicide is something that should be taken seriously no matter what and has nothing to do with ANY stereotype. Cutting/self harm is an important matter that needs to be tended to ASAP. It also has nothing to do with any stereotype. Depression is a MEDICAL CONDITION. It has NOTHING to do with stereotypes. a lot of people have depression issues. That's something that should be taken care of by a doctor.

~As I've already stated, cutting/depression/suicide has NOTHING to do with being emo or any other stereotype. Cutting is a serious matter that needs to be handled ASAP. Depression is a MEDICAL CONDITION and a lot of people have it, NOT just emos. That should be treated by a doctor. Suicide is something that should ALWAYS be taken seriously no matter what. It has nothing to do with stereotypes of ANY KIND.

~Bulimia has NOTHING to do with ANY stereotyes either. This is a MEDICAL CONDITION that should be treated by a doctor ASAP.

~Dying your hair doesn't make you emo. A lot of emos have their natural hair color. Hair color has nothing to do with it at all.

~Attention seeking also has nothing to do with emo. Attention seekers are in a class all by themselves.

~Emo is a music type and also a type of style

~People who say things like I wanna turn emo, Am I an emo?, How do I be emo?, I think I'm going/turning emo!, Help me, I'm emo! or Help I think I'm emo are considered posers. If you have to ask other people how to look/be something, chances are your NOT and just trying to be something your not.

~Ignore the haters. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being emo. Emos are actually nice, friendly people.

~A lot of lies/rumors have been started about emos such as they cut, they're always depressed, they're very b*tchy and moody. This is NOT true. As I've already stated, self harm/cutting and depression have nothing to do with ANY stereotype. And you wanna know why some emos might be b*thcy? Because they're sick of the f*cktards who act like they know everything about emo, when in reality they don't know sh*t because they're the idiots that believe they lies! That's very wrong indeed.

~You DON'T HAVE to have piercings to be emo, or be shy. Some emo kids are actually very out-going. Piercings are a form of self expression and body art. It doesn't make you emo just because you choose to have them. They have nothing to do with stereotypes/labels. And as for being shy - just because your shy doesn't make you emo. Some people are just naturally very shy-natured around new people.

~Wearing shoes like Converse, Vans, and skate shoes don't make you emo. Being emo has nothing to do with your shoes.

~Wearing blue, or other funky colored pants... not emo. Sorry, they wear whatever they want. Not ALL are skin tight either. Some are just nromal skinny jeans or even a little loose-fitting.

~Band T's are NOT a must. They wear any shirt they want to.

~If a guy is wearing tight clothes *such a skinny jeans or slim fit t-shirts* and makeup/nail polish... that DOESN'T make him emo or gay. They make skinny jeans for guys AND girls. Makeup/nail polish has become a unisex thing, meaning it's alright for GUYS AND GIRLS to wear it. People have the right to wear whatever the hell they please without being judged.

~If a guy crys, it doesn't make him emo. Guys are humans too, therefore they have feelings/emotions. It's 100% completely normal for a guy to cry/show emotion. We all have to sometimes.

~Listening to heavy metal and screamo music doesn't make you emo. A lot of people who are hardcore metal fans are called metal heads. There's a HUGE difference between metal heads and emos.

~Painting your nails black doesn't make you emo. Nail polish has nothing to do with ANY stereotype.

anyone can be emo and you dont have to cut. the only people that really have to cut are in fact cutters
