HOW TO BE EMO
1.
Understand what Emo is
. Emo has many meanings. Some would say it's only agenre of music, categorized by hardcore music with sad,
 Emo
tional lyrics. Othersconsider it's only a brief way to call someone emotional. Still, there are those who believe Emo is a life style and choose to live their lives the Emo way. Like anystyle, fashion or culture, the exact definition is up for debate and often variesaccording to personal expression. The term Emo is loosely associated withemotional rock; most Emo's like underground or Indie music.2.
Appreciate Emo music.
Emo is a rock music genre, usually consisting of emotional lyrics and optional Screamo. Over the years, this music genre wasusually seen as underground until recent times, making Emo music more popular than ever. This music sometimes consists of lyrics seen by many as "whiny," and"sensitive." Listen to a lot of Emo bands, and maybe even consider picking up aninstrument, such as a bass or guitar. You could also try to play the violin, and if you invest enough time into it, Emo songs on the violin are incredibly Emo-sounding. The drums can also be a very good instrument. You may even want towrite your own songs by writing poetry and turning it into songs.3.
Test yourself.
Try listening to Emo music. If you end up liking this type of music,and come out wanting to download the songs after you’re done with the album,you’re probably a "true" Emo. Getting
inner 
Emo is all a matter of finding out of you have it or not.4.
Dress Emo.
After you have discovered your inner Emo, try shopping for a newwardrobe. Emo fashion has roots in both punk and goth. Wear tight jeans, tightshirts with Emo band logos on them, studded belts, and an old, black and worndown pair of sneakers. Girls can wear black skirts with striped socks or leggings.Leg warmers are also acceptable. For accessories go to Hot Topic and buy black rubber bracelets and any Emo-looking necklaces. Thick, black-rimmed glasses arenot uncommon for Emo guys. Also, stripes and checkers are big in the Emoculture. Take an example from others Emo's you see around as inspiration, but donot copy, just do your own thing. Theres always more Emo points in thrift shop buys also.
