Emo Style

Alright, so you want to go emo? Well we can help! My friend Caroline [rico for short] and i are making a blog with some good emo starter tips for all you girls/guys who wanna rock to their own beat. So, first thing we're going to have to start with is the general "emo" look. Here are some recommendations.

1. black skinny jeans
2. dark black eye liner
3. studded belts
4. band t-shirts
5. straightened hair
6. converse or vans brand shoes
7. usually side-parted hair
8. peace t-shirts
9. wristbands (even if you dont cut)
10. walk around with your hands halfway in pants pockets
(most of the clothing we mention is available at hot topic)

Now that you have the look do you have the attitude? Well, emos are usually very quiet. They walk around with their heads down and dont talk very much. They usually have hair covering their eyes so it gives off the impression that they are being isolated from the rest of the world and dont want to be talked to. If your thinking to yourself.. "i dont want to stop talking and walk with my head down i just want to change my style" then your probably thinking of going punk. Punk is a different concept. Emos are more sensitive, punks just want to be different than everyone and they want to stand out. So they can also be called Rebels. Where emos, dont care if they stand out or not, they dont care about anything, they are usually so depressed they just exclude the rest of the world completely.

Emos alot of the time think about suicide and/or cut. These are not very good things to have going on in your life. They scare a lot of people close to the emo. One of our friends who is very close to us is emo, and he talks about how he doesnt want to live his life anymore and he cuts his wrists regularly. We do not suggest cutting or thinking about suicide. It is not healthy. If you do have suicidal thoughts or cut your wrists, you should see a counsler.

Emos also have a tendancy to go down the wrong path a lot of the time. This is not something we really want you to do, but if it happens to you be sure to get help. My emo friend drinks and does drugs. He is also only 13 and not a virgin anymore. He has gotten invovled with the wrong crowd because he is tired of the people who tell him that everything is going to be okay when he knows its not.
Therefore we suggest that you do not tell an emo its going to be okay, because if they are like this, then something in their life is really wrong, and they are not going to be okay just because you say they will be. They need serious help and only the people who truly love them can make everything semi-okay.

Going emo may not be the best choice, but if its something that you plan on looking into then you should follow your heart and be who you want to be. I would suggest more just dressing emo, and not necissarily following the bad habits they tend to develop. Like I said before, if you just want to change up your style then i would consider yourself a punk or rebel.

Thanks for reading. Hope you now learn to think of our emos in a different way then before.
