I used to have long black hair and though it was a good idea to wear all black during the summer. I didn't act any different although, so I'm not sure if I would be the stereotypical emo. I did have the "I'm awesome and you're not" stage...
Well i have long naturally black hair but its curly (thank god), i wear a good percentage of black on a daily basis, and i have been depressed but by no means have i ever considered myself emo
I never let my pity for myself get in the way of life to the point where i would ever label myself in such a disgusting way
Yeah I have, but then I convinced myself that she was a ***** anyway and moved on.
Also, before that I was called emo, but I just liked the hairstyle, still have it.

Emo is not necessarily a self mutilationist.... just being depressed and in angst combined with a bit of isolationism is good enough..... I mean emo spidy in emo spidy 3 didn't cut himself either... (ah sorry I hate that film and have to rub it it in every chance I get)
I do...again and again every Gdamn winter ><
I am thirty something daman why have I not grown out of it!!!
....oh wait I have not GF or life....ya...that would make you pissy too.....
LOL
I am not an emo and dont care for the whole cutting thing but what the fuck gives you the right to tell people what to be? And more specifically what length their hair should be? Seiously, didnt you learn anything from Columbine? If someone feels rejected and alone (regardless of wether they actually are) then you DONT push them until they break because then they are going to kill people, people like you.
Also, your avatar annoyed me too.
It annoys me how incorrect you are.
The columbine killers were not social outcasts. They had a pretty big circle of friends who accepted them. They may not have been popular with everyone but they were by no means the school outcasts. They were both psychocotic (although it has been speculated one was the dominated with abandonment issues). this meant that they don't see the world the same.
The reason they did the school shooting and attempted bombing was to put fear into the world and get a place in history. The attack was against the world, not the school, and they are not remembered as terrorists but psychopaths, something I am pleased about.
If you live in fear of school shootings then well done, they win.
I been reading about that lately its a cultural myth that they were not outcasts they were just pissed at the world(or raving mad) and took it out on the school.
I was bullied and it did fck me up it can drive one to do strange things tho the worst for me was just introversion and a fear of people I carry with me to this day.
Peer pressure can screw with ones psyche add onto it bullying and it can break a few different personalities/people and they generally fall into 2 different categories IE they either internalize it(like me) or externalize it of which the rare case can harm others..
(was going to edit my previous message but the system was down and now wont let me edit my post...)
I dunno, emo express pain inward, goths express pain outward.
So i'd say I went through more of a goth phase. In seventh grade, after my dad died, I started wearing black clothes and pounding the bejesus out of anyone who looked at me the wrong way. I got over it by the end of the year.
Yep. I didn't go so far as to cut myself, but I secluded myself, and started drawing. The closest I got to cutting was drawing symbols on my arm.
I soon recovered, but I still kept the hairstyle, and my art skills (at least to myself) have improved.
I think that time stemmed from me being picked on by a douchebag eightgrader, and that I was failing school.
Yeah, when I was a fair bit younger, about 13 or something. Just the world-hating aspect, though, not the clothes or the music. Still, it was really really stupid. Over it now, but I do occasionally get a bit angsty.
