Emos.

Anybody want to explain emoism to me? [understanding can stop prejudice]

Emos are VERY misjudged. People believe the stupid lies/rumors that the haters have started. People need to get their facts straight and get to know them before they judge them.

Here are your true facts on emos -

There's 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.

~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.

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.

Hopefully this helps you, if you need anything else, let me know.

Just a stereotype.
People Try to be emo because they are unhappy with their style, wanting to fit in, wanting acceptance of those kinds of people.

Emo isn't cutting, that's cutting.

Just like the hippie era, this is just like that. Cept you don't have stupid tie dye shirts.

Emo is nothing more than a music and fashion trend that some little kids take way to far. It's like every other trend there has ever been - it will fade in time. It's just what is in right now.

When I was in school it was the ravers that were in. We all wore neon bracelets, glow sticks, pacifiers around our necks, neon cargo pants, did xtc, and it was just what was popular. That faded with time and so will this.

Just like the hippie era, this is just like that. Cept you don't have stupid tie dye shirts

haha, you just have the gay pants and the lame my life sucks attitude to deal with. give me a hippie any day. at least they were happy.

majority of the peoiple who talk about emo and majority of kids who call themselves emo still have no idea what the word means
emo has nothing to do with cutting, cutting is self harm
or depression, a mental disorder
anyone can feel depressed or resort to self harm because evryone has problems, sometimes ones they dont know how to deal with
feelings and emotions play no part in any sterotype or label
there is no such word as emoism in the english dictionary
and emo is nothing more than a genre of music and a style of dress
nowdays morons use the word as an insault
and pother idiots go around saying they cut and are depressed
its just a lebel thats kids slap on themselves because they feel like they fit in, at leats for now
right now its a fad/trend, just something kids want to be because its cool
and something other kids do because there depressed or cut, these kids arnt emo and no nothing about wmo. they just beleive what the morons say and follow what they think it is and what other people tell them it is
then other kids just do it becausre they think its cool
but mostly now theres just a lot of little kids with stupid problems like there mum grounded them, so they get depressed, start cutting and call themself emo
better education should teach them that there are better ways to deal with problems and what the word emo actually means
