Emo?

Certain hairstyles, clothes, music and so forth yes, but self harm is a definite no no.

 

Then your coworker is a fucking idiot.

 

I can imagine your coworker being sarcastic. (And yes, a fucking idiot too.)

But yeah, hairstyles, clothing, music, stuff like that should do.

 

There is more truth in this statement than in a million other truthful statements on the internet. :eusa_clap

 

Emo is a style nothing more.

Coincidentally I chose emo status just because it matches my hair color in latest pic.

 

Agreed with above.

 

To be honest I'm pretty sure emo without cutting is sometimes referred to as scene or something
It's stupid to separate it.
You can be emo and not cut.

 

You don't have to cut to be emo.

Though some people assume I'm emo because they see what I paint, only they don't know it's not real.

 

You don't have to cut to be emo, and not all people who cut are emo. Your coworker is stupid. Emo is just a style.

 

Dont think you have to cut to be emo either.

 

No don't cut yourself, emo is just a style. I was more of a goth than an emo growing up but it was just a style, clothes, make up, spiky jewelry ect.. Emo doesn't mean your depressed or cut yourself. my group I hung around with in school were emos and Goths and were the funniest group of people we just all liked the style and the same music.

 

I like the emo look. Of all the styles to have emerged in more recent times, it's among those that catches my eye the most. When it gets mixed with the neko/kitty-boy look, it's even cuter. And no, I don't think you have to do anything, cutting or other wise.

 

No. Emo is a style. Self harm is a serious thing. Your coworker is an idiot.

 

my son was scene a few years ago, around here it meant wearing bkack with BRIGHT pants, like neon lime green skinny jeans. as far as his emo friends to cut or self harm in any way was a personal choice but with or without you were emo with your style, music ect. we had a preppy cutter also hanging out here too.

 

I agree with what everyone else said.

 

I'd have emo style if I could pull it off. But not only would I not cut myself, I freaking love life and want to suck all the marrow out of it. Can one be an emo transcendentalist?

 

That's kind of like asking, "Do I need to have anorexia to be a prep?" You don't choose to have a mental illness based on your choice of clothing style.

On a side note, I didn't know emo even existed anymore...
