Answer 1

I may not look emo, but at some times consider myself so. Now I will not agree with most of what has been said thus far. I do at times write disturbing poetry, but write things that are more or less love songs. I don't cut myself. I don't dress like I'm depressed. I wear what I want when I want to: Usually a shirt, armsocks, a hat, and my CONVERSE. If anyone has a problem with it that's fine! It is not a mental disorder and not always depression. I have been known to randomly wear a tie and half finger gloves...I don't have long hair over my eye nor do I have multiple piercings. Everyone needs to quick classifying people by what they wear... The emo trend was originally in the 80s!!

Answer 2

I do not agree with labels like 'emo' they do not exist, they are silly things that society had made up to separate us and cause nothing but evil upon the world

Answer 3

Ok being EMO is just a way of describing a way a person dresses.... The all black clothing and the eyeliner. That sort of thing. The cutting part and the EMO part don't come together. A "cutter" can never be classified in a category such as EMO. Depression isn't a mental disorder. But yes plenty of mental disorders have depression involved. I hope that I have helped.

Answer 4

Emos and goths are 2 different things GOTHS have the black clothing and eyeliner and black nails and listen to heavy metal and are generally rebellious; EMOs on the other hand cut themselves write disturbingly horrid poetry and listen to heavy metal & sad songs they dress the same as goths but try to fade into the faces while goths are generally loud and proud. Emos are usually severely depressed (they dress in a way that shows their feelings, goths dress in black just because "normal" people don't) (I've known both types as good friends before and I am *almost* goth)
