no, its a fashion also. u dont have 2 cut or wanna die 2 be emo. u just at least gotta dress like em, listen to their music, act like em, and maybe have alot of random moodswings . its also can be just a fashion, not wanting to die.
someone called me emo.... i told him i wasn't. nd now he calls me depressed. tht just made me blow up at him.... XD, happens a lot.... i guess imma mood swinger, nd every1 used to call me nd dis one guy negative, like all de time....
@child of the Korn - yah ur right, i dont know whyi typed that. lol. im not he steryotypical emo, i would say im an actuall one cuz im naturally different from everyone else,im naturally freaky as some ppl call me, i naturally have alot of moodswings, i naturally like screamo music, and i naturally like pain and colors like black and red. always have. so id say im a real emo and not a stereotypical one. i think i wuz just trying to explain something to someone that doesnt understand emo fully. but i dont think i did good job at explaining it. so i caused some confusion and controversy. lolz. sorry ppl :)
