Because they often just know the stereotype. Extremely depressed and suicidal.
Only 5% of emos are like that.
And dad's that are in there 50's seeing there 15 year old son painting his eyes and nails, dressing in tight jeans and having exotic hair can make them a bit confused.
Music, Art, Poetry, deepness of life and the simple beauty of love and respect.
because of the fact that parents think that all emos are just people that hate life and want to die and dress like freaks parents are the last person you would want to go up to and say your emo...
Haters gonna hate
No. I really hate Screamo, it is really annoying, irritating, and loud. It's total crap, I hate it. It isn't part of emo music anyway. Emo music is Rock, Punk, Indie and Hardcore. Many emo's hate Screamo.
No, just because you hate people, does not mean your emo, it just means your not really a people kind of person. The answer to your question would be no, not all people that hate other mean they are emo and emo is not about hating people, so you can't call yourself an emo just by hating people. I would probably say you are a people-hater not an emo.
Hate
Well emo can be liking emo music or you dress like it, Feeling hate and the most common cutting and dressing in black.
no but people may hate you for it
You can but if you really like it. I am emo and I hate rap and hip-hop.
dont just come up to your parent and say i want to be emo just start out slow start dressing emo and listening to emo music your parents will most likely not like it at first but they will grow used to it but never come out to your parents and say your emo cause must parents dont react well to this
You are ten. You shouldn't hate yourself. And emos do not hate themselves.
you slowly drop hints
well i wear skinny jeans, band Tees and converse, i also have the " emo " hair. I've been called emo, but really i hate stereotypes, so to answer question, no. emos do not think of themselves as ' emo ', if someone says their emo then obviously their just being a poser.
