How to be emo:
Wear only skinny jeans or old, crappy,
tight, cut-up jeans. Wear
tight shirts that you can barely get over your head. If after getting dressed you can't breathe and look like a
hobo, you've done it right. No
shoes but low-top Converse or slip-on Vans are acceptable. Anything out of Hot Topic will do.
Dye your
hair with the cheapest, least-convincing black dye you can find. Nothing over 99 cents. Fix it so that you look like you just rolled out of
bed then walked through a hurricane and lost a fight with a lawn mower.
Peirce everything you can reach, and put in the largest, ugliest rings you can find.
Dark,
thick makeup is key in the emo world. Never leave the house without putting on globs and globs of badly-put-on black eyeliner. Extreme amounts of bright pink eyeshadow is optional.
Now that we've covered the emo look, it's time to teach you to act the part of an emo, so the others won't think of you as a poser.
Flip your
hair vigorously every ten seconds. If your neck is broken at the end of the day, good job.
Whine about your pathetic life every
chance you get, (twice as much if your
parents are divorced) but never reveal that you live in saburbia. If asked where you reside, say something emo like, "The depths of living hell", "The
home of sorrow", or some other pussy shit like that.
Always have your
MySpace mood set to "apathetic," and make
sure to have about 986730865734567349576 pictures of yourself with extremely emo captions that have plenty of X's. It is necessary to be a MySpace whore, and to beg for picture comments in a bulletin every ten minutes.
Only listen to emo bands such as Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, ect. If there is an extremely popular emo band at your school, say that you like them even if you
don't.
Make it widely known that you cut yourself every night with a razorblade while listening to emo music. If ever asked why, say something stupid like, "I cut myself to stay ALIVE! You would NEVER understand!" Then run away crying, even if you are not upset.
Finally, always deny that you are emo. Claim to be scene, goth, or a "non-conformist." But always keep in mind that you are, and always will be, a pussy little emo
fag.
