Emo question

ok, I'm really curious here. is being emo considered a hobby, addiction, or a habit? (all the other emos don't get offended because I am sum what emo also) and another thing. would you consider someone emo if they only scratch themselves enough to bleed...

but not scar?

Emo is not scratching or cutting yourself. You can love yourself with all your heart and be emo. Emo is not a hobby an addiction or a habbit it is more a state of mind. Emo people don't care to hurt themselves emo is rare, the people you are concidering emo are a new type of emo. I call this new type 'suicidal. This new type of people are ones that care to hurt themselves and cut or scratch their wrist. I think the person that hurts themselves fits into this new catagory but not the emo one.

Emo is a music genre and a type of style. People tend to judge emo kids 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.

~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.

~Converse isn't something that makes you emo either. Some emos wear vans, others wear skater 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 also 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.

Now THIS is advice for ANYONE to follow, including yourself -

ALWAYS be yourself. NEVER change who you are for ANYONE no matter what. Never change yourself just to fit in or anything like that either. True friends/lovers would be able to accept you for who you truly are.

Ugh. Emo is a genre of music.

emos not a habit or addiction. its more a a style and type of music
if your cutting your self at all you should seek help
unless your doing it for attention then just stop
because theres people out there actually being depressed and cutting themselves not to be cool or to have people feel bad for them.

emo is a sterotype, NOTHING more
unfortuanlty majority of the people who talk about emo and majority of the kids who call themselves emo still have no idea what the word actually means
emo is nothing more than a style of dress and a genre of music
it has NOTHING to do with cutting (self harm)
depression (a mental disorder)
suicide, eating disorders, ect
because feelings and emotions play NO part in any label or stereotype
which is what majority of the kids who talk about emo and majority of the kids who call themselves emo still don’t understand
only be emo if you actually want to
but remember, you can still take parts from different styles and incorporate them into your own style without slapping a label on yourself
so really. Just be yourself, if it’s actually what emo really means, be that
if its not, don’t pretend to be something your not

Emo can be mostly anything .

Style

Music Taste

or it can mean your emotional

CUTTING is different its self harm or coping.
