The term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (sometimes with short-sleves) which often bear the names of rock bands (or other designed shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. Emo fashion has changed with time. Early trends included straight, unparted hair (similar to that of Romulans and Vulcans in Star Trek), tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets.In recent years the popular media has associated emo with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angsty. It is also associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide.

If I took the quiz the result would be a non-zero number however I am 0% emo so I dont know what to say. It is a paradox of sorts. Its a shame too because I have an identity crisis and would like to persue a label for myself. Everybody wants to be somebody. :hmm:

The only time I ever see emo kids is when I go to the mall to pay my phone bill. Should "I hang out at the local shopping mall" be included in the criteria? :D
