  • First, i am not emo, i wear tight jeans, long bangs swooped over, shirts of rock bands. Also I wear black colors sometimes and converse, on some days, I put this look together all at once. I am shy to strangers, I am emotional when i get my feelings hurt and sensitive. Maybe to you this sounds emo, but last time I checked I want a pink beetle, i watch kardashians, i giggle at the car lashes and american eagle and hollister are pretty awesome. Stereotypes are fucked up in society today

  • Touch me i will ripe out your juggular and eat it... The whole thing.

  • @XxGeenaLivelyxX EXACTLY !!! Why do people have to feel like everyone has to have a label ?? I sometimes dress 'girly' and sometimes dress 'emo', I love BVB and BMTH but I also love Labrinth and LMFAO !!! I am emotional and i'm soon gonna get an 'emo' hair cut. What does that make me ???

  • Whats The Point We're Gonna Die Anyway

  • Aha, so you've just described me, but you know what? I don't go around telling everyone I'm "emo" because, honestly, I'm not. It's a genre of music, and this is just a stereotype.

  • No one is emo. Emo is a music genre that is, yes, meant to have super emotional and sad lyrics and melodies, but it is only a MUSIC GENRE. Nothing else. It is not a clothing style or someone's persona. It is a music genre and that's it.
