(Emo Myths)
1-All emos
cut/ self mutilate?
Not all emos
cut- there are always crazies in the mix but not all emos
cut themselves- cuting has nothing to do with emo
2-Emos are always
sad?
Emos are usualy more sensetive than average and express their emotions in their own way. But emos are not always
sad Hapyness is an emotion 2 Emos can
smile laugh and have a good
time like evrybody else Most are just shy
3-Emos are all just posers seeking atention?
Emo is a steriotype- people runing around showing you their cuts, crying, saying "
im so emo" Are posers trying to fit a steriotype to be cool But there are people "
Real emos" who live the lifestyle, love the music, and expres their emotions bechause its who they are the way they are these people are not posers- they dont try to be anything other than themselves and are great people/
loyal frends
