I know its inherently wrong to care about being emo, cause thats not emo in itself, which in itself is a misnomer.
Ive downloaded some whiney guitar music. I know girls hate me. Ive washed all the gel out of my hair. I have some tight jeans and some black tshirts... what else can i do.
What can i do next people of TB? i need to become as emo as is humanly possible. (i exept being vegan from being emo - just just like meat too much)
(if some of you didnt notice, i am 1/2 taking the piss here but i really am trying to pic up tips)
Lookie - this is my new favourite smilie >

No self-respecting emo kid would be without them.
Also, get yourself an acoustic guitar or a cheap strat copy and remember: Emo is passive-aggressive music. sad verses, angry but resigned choruses.
Keep hope alive, brother.

I'm confused. 
Just get a tighter t-shirt that shows of your nipples. That should do it.

Losing the beer belly would probably help. It seems most emo guys are either really built and model-looking, or really emaciated looking.

Could someone please explain to me just what it is and maybe give examples? Maybe even bands that fall under the emo category.
Hell, I could be emo and not even know it. 
I doubt it someone would have told me about my emo-ness by now.

Complain about how everyone is holding you down. When people ask you why you listen to emo, tell them how well it relates to your situation, like getting dumped or being picked on in school. Cover classic motown songs in whiney vocals and emo riffs. Get an obscure hair cut that seperates you from everyone else (even though a million other teens have the same hair cut). And last, wear old school vans, that is emo to the max.

Read, and then understand. This punk guy had it out for emo since the beginning. Favorite quote, at an emo band concert, "Hey you, up there on stage, secreting teen angst! Less talk, more rock, Crybaby!"

Emo kids suck | Mike, that's a bit more wannabe goth. To be emo, you need to listen to dashboard confessional all the time. Then you have to have a blog about you're life's troubles and struggling through high school. Then you need to talk about how you'd be much better off if this one girl would just like you and go out with you. You need to wear some tight pants, and wear plain black t-shirts all the time too. Wear some boxers on top of briefs. Put pictures on your wall of places, but not people (except for altoid ads).

I love Embrace, myself...... but i'm not emo.
oh, woe is me.....

I will face my Emo, I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it is gone I will turn my inner eye to see its path. When Emo is gone, there will be nothing, only I will remain.
