My quest to become as emo as possible.

Start a UJ or LJ (online journal) and in every entry complain about how hard your day was. And for your TB avatar, have something like this :

Constantly write lyrics about suffocation, and always write metaphorically. And become a photography student..so on and so forth :D
 
Also, you must play a Fender P or Jazz...and play only root notes with a pick of course. You forgot the lip piercings, flesh tunnels, and you must have star tattoos somewhere.

I actually love emo, although I think the thing that is annoying is when the media group every new band under the emo category....for God's sake how are Coheed And Cambria emo?!?!? It's not all about Dashboard Confessional and Saves The Day....go listen to Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate etc.
 
Okay, having never really listen to EMO, I downloaded some samples from Dashboard Confessional. From the four or five excepts that I heard, its not my cup of tea at all. I was kinda expecting something with some balls / chunk not this whinning faux rock!.

Next.....

I must be Emo. Emo is the mind killer, Emo is the little death that brings total obliteration. 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.

Emo is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer emo is the beginning of wisdom.

Download some get up kids, they have some balls


Also, to be emo you need to remember to keep your eyes closed at all concerts while pounding your fist on your heart, showing your true passion and emotion.

Emo music = cool
Being Emo= lame
