Top Ten False Emo Stereotypes

We don't do that. Some might because it let's out pain we feel but not all. I don't do that. I may be hiding certain feelings but I don't cut.

People who are depressed self harm. Being emo has nothing to do with it. - Catlover2004

Posers do, real emos don't - mmarce445

I do that. - ThatEmoLoner

I have no idea where this came from but not true.

Nope

Um, no - ThatEmoLoner

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM

I'm emo and attention is the opposite of what I want.

Most emos don't want much attention

Most Emo kids are the ones who don't call themselves emos just so they WON'T attract attention

Nope - ThatEmoLoner

We just want someone to listen to us. And then when yall want us to talk we don't because yall never wanted to hear it so then you call us mute...

I wouldn't say we whine… - ThatEmoLoner

Where did this come from? I don't often wear makeup, but when I do, it's black and amazing.

I BUY MY OWN MAKEUP - ThatEmoLoner

...riiggghhht. Some would live to get bullied by selfish bully's so they make fake scars...no wro g if u didn't get my sarcasm...(not hate in just agreeing that its not true.)

People say my poems are good by I think everything I do is trash. - ThatEmoLoner

You don't know what they live to at home..
Although sometimes it's a cry for help, it just could be attention seeking. Everybody wants to be heard, to be seen.
So just think before you say certain things..

This is true, I am very depressed - ThatEmoLoner

I have straight blue hair

That is far from true - mmarce445

Ever seen Black Veil Bride music? It's SUPER inspirational "In the end as we fade into the night. Who will tell the story of your life and who will remember your last goodbye? 'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid to die"

Listen to Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, etc

...If I were you I'd put that away. See your just wasted thinking about the past again. Darling you'll be ok.- hold on till may-PIERCE THE VEIL..the music saves

EMO SONGS ARE BEAUTIFUL - ThatEmoLoner

True 4 me here

Mine does that… - ThatEmoLoner

That's ridiculous. Not every emo is gay. There's also nothing wrong with being gay. At all. - ThatEmoLoner

I'm not even going to say how stupid it is YES some people are gay but no all olmost none are and are you saying being gay is bad

There are gay guy and girls in every stereotype or subculture. Not just emo. My sister dissed Andy Sixx (Black Veil Brides) because he looked like a girl. Leave Enos alone. We are no different than the everyday human just trying to get by. Sure we have different styles. How come they mostly pick on Enos and goths, but all the stupid preps are left alone?

Kinda want this some... who doesn't like Fall Out Boy?

Real emos prefer My Chemical Romance. Just saying.

I do... - ThatEmoLoner

I listen to death metal,different kinds of rock, punk, and black metal. - ThatEmoLoner

Yea... no... that's just dumb

It's fun. I just go to the dollar store and buy washables because it can be easy to wash off if you just want to doodle. (I'm not emo by the way) - SansTheComic

I do that when I'm pissed and I'm not an emo. - PrincessKiana

Its fun to draw on your self

It's fun! - ThatEmoLoner

You don't know what they've been through. I saw my mother beaten over the head with a hammer, by my stepfather, who actually came after me with it. There's a kid at school who thinks his the funniest thing in the world. They mock me for being scared of hammers and for being fascinated with death. what?

You don't know what happens at their house

Most Emos don't want to talk about their feelings. - ThatEmoLoner

Screw you!

Goth is actually a culture with its own alphabet. Easier than the Latin ABC too, hence both the original one and the one we follow nowadays. P.S when it comes to the subculture of being Goth is it NOT about stuff like how much of dark clothing you wear that matters. One person may look Goth, or even Emo or whatever but what if it has a persona pretty much like quite the opposite?

what?!

Goth is like hardcore emo
And emo is like hardcore sean

Goths and Emos are totally different and Emos aren't imitating Goths whatsoever. Look, I'm a Goth and let me explain the differences really quick:

Goth is a Subculture with a mindset, history, music, fashion, literature, art, and movies. They started out in the year of 1979/1980. The music we Goths listen to are Post-Punk, Goth Rock, Deathrock, Batcave music, Gothic Metal, Symphonic Gothic Metal, Dark Cabaret, Dark wave, EBM, Classical Music, Ethereal Wave, New Wave (depending on what band), Synth-Pop (depending on what band), and Dream Pop (depending on what band).

Emo is a stereotype with music, fashion, and art.
They started out in the year of 1985. The music Emos listen to are Emo, Screamo, Post-Hardcore, Emotional Hardcore, Emocore, Hardcore Punk, Indie Rock, Pop Punk, Emo Pop, Melodic Hardcore, Emoviolence, and Melodic Emocore. (I have a friend that's Emo, so...)

HA! NOPE. Some of us are religious, and some of us are atheists ((because, let's be real, all you need to be a good person is Harry Potter)) but NONE OF US ARE SATANISTS. We look different, we listen to different music, we enjoy different pastimes. But just because we don't fit into society, or we don't look "normal", or most of us wear a lot of black, DOES NOT mean that we are all part of some evil devilish occult. *drops mic*

That's hilarious - ThatEmoLoner

HA HA HA! that's so NOT TRUE!
