i like you u have a good point i know what you mean U ROCK I <3 YOU

your really immature being emo is not what you think it means emotional you are a poser because posers talk about there look so hunny i'm sorry to tell you this but be your self not what you think is "in" because really what is "in" IS being yourself

So some of us really just do this for the fashion. Emo doesn't mean you necessarily slit your writs...that's called depression... And just so you know good charlotte is a punk band and isn't considered what you call "emo" music... Just goes to show how much you really know about this stuff. I think you are the one who needs to grow up "and finish high school" i'm a college student and I'm probably a lot more intelligent than you are, the way a person dresses and the way they do their hair and make-up doesn't mean they "cut" and "hug their razor blades". Those who do, could have serious emotional problems and you making fun of them isn't going to help, at all. Okay? so just leave innocent people alone.

do you wanna shut up go get a life i bet you are fat n ugly

this is heaps good thanks

emo pride hunnie xD

OmG... Seriously? You all are an embarrassment. The FACT that you're on this site proves that most, if not all of you, are posuers. The only reason I'm looking at this, is because I didn't know what they called "dramatic" eye makeup. I assumed it to be this pathetic attempt a lifestyle. Cutters don't broadcast themselves. Emo is not a way to live. It's an EMOtion. You people are idiots. Do the world a favor, slit your poseur wrists and pull a Sylvia Plath.

Dice

Wow, fake much? everyone who has commented on this subject or any of the sh*t posted here needs to get a life and grow up. Cut yourself on your own time and tell the whole world about it, we really dont care.... we do think your crazy but not for doing it. your crazy for being proud enough about it to tell anyone you dont know. I read this page and laughed my ass of.... once again, LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!!!!! Really, grow up, finish high school and get a life, because right now you have none expect your lonely nights spent alone in your bathrooom hugging your razor and listening to good charlotte

heyy guys...im 13 and emo and its awesome i luv mi look.i dont cut myself but sumtimes i get so mad and have all these mixed emotions and it rlly makes me want to.FOR ALL THOSE EMO GIRLS THT GET SO MUCH TORCHURE From THE OTHER NON EMO PPL, JUST IGNORE THM!!! EmO RoXx!!!...:))

Heyy, well I just wanted to put my point of view in, um I guess its safe for
me to call myself emo without getten bitten. Um i do have the emo
style also, um I do cut, to the point I had to go to the hospital, but
I try not the like throw it out for like ppl the feel bad...Um I meam,
its pretty obvious to ppl about what I like and how I feel. I mean there
are girls who share the same style as us, I mean they may not
be exactly like us, i mean that girl was into holister and expensive
spoiled things, than out of the blue...became one of us. I accept it.
I know its an open thing. if you enjoy a different style than thats you...
Dnt judge me tho, trust me, I do not cut for fun, and i finally got help(:
make a difference.

omfg.. LIKE REALLY PEOPLE?! just becuase you THINK you like how people act liek this.. its a load of fucking bullshit.. you know why?! becuase you dont knwo what your talking about... yes i dress like this... i act like this... YOU PEOPLE WHO EVEN AT LEAST THINK THAT YOU FREAKING KNOW HOW IT FEELS to be depressed.... liek this...having like no one to talk to becuase they all hate you.... cept for your parents... btu that doesnt count... but im serious... LITTLE KIDS IN 6TH AND SO ON NEED TO GROW UP dont think that its lright... learn that.. cutting yourself.. leads to killign youself... its not fun and games..and im hate prpes... just like the next person.. IM SCENE ... i realize that yeah.. i have cut before.. but thats becuase i had stress that i couldnt fuckign get through... my little cousin had a disease... he had to feed and breathe through a tube going down his throaght... he died like a year ago... only 6 years old... HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DEAL WITH THAT?! its fuckign nonsense that people like you think this is all fun and games... its not.. its fuckign serious.... you dont even know my pain... YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ME... or emo... in that fact... EMO: EMOTIONAL... -emotionally depressed-
Im in the 9th grade... ive been like this ever since i was EIGHT! think about that... alright?! think about how fuckign stupid it is for you to go around calling yourself a cutter...
do you even know the emotional paint hat people go through?!
IT FUCKING HURTS a lot!
think before you say...
im done lecturing you fucking posers..... im sick of it...
its annoying...

i love emo make up looks omg they look hot!!!!!!!!!

Omg, you are such a little kid!!! You dont know anything! You probly cut cuz you think it's cool. Us REAL emo kids cut (if we cut at all) is because we need to relive stress and other shit because of stuff that we have to deal with that we cant easily tell other people! Before you ask, yes, i do cut sometimes. And i dont like doing it. So get a life and grow up.

I'm always left out in everything, I don't have any friends because i'm Emo and dress emo and my classmates always mocks me. They call me psyco, retard and I'm always left out in everything. I might be the only emo in Thailand.

ok look hemingway we cut to releave stress cuz we cant kill ourselves!!!!!! and ok every teen gets depressed but im way farther then depressed and ive been like this 4 3 yrs so when is this phase going 2 end?

hell no we arnt alli!!!!!! and i dont wear smoky eye makeup!! i wear wat ever im in the mood 4!! and by the way im 11

rebal im in 6th too and i no how it feels!!!!!! im am left out of everything and ppl in my skool r rednecks and hate me cuz im diffrent and they r scared of me cuz i cut myself and stuff like that and im like the only 1 in my skool that is "emo" and iv been called slut, whore, goth, ho, cunt, ect ect so u r not alone!! just remember to always b u and dont care about other ppl say!

Ahhhhhhhh, I hate people who hate Emos, It doesnt matter who you are or how you dress as long as your happy with yourself. I myself am Emo and i love being Emo. To all those people who just think all Emos do all day is be sad and cut themselves its not true. Because i love my life and i do not cut myself. So you know what just get screwed Emo haters, because we hate you too. NOT see were not like that. So what if we express ourselves through our makeup, clothes or hair, thats our problem not yours. You wouldnt like it if we were mean and mocked you because of your style would you? So dont to it to us. You can say what you want to me because i couldnt care less what you think of me.
Im Emo and loving it
Peace, Love, Emos Rock
Just to add that anyone who wants to talk about being Emo or people that wont accept you being Emo add me on

Does your whole 'little tweens, you don't know what you want, you are ignorant and confused, and generally inferior to I, and elder, more advanced being' speech make you feel good? It definitely doesn't make you LOOK good.
Let me guess, unless you are a complete hypocrite [which I'm guessing you ARE, just to add to your list of amazing qualities] when you were a young teen you never followed a fad, always payed 100% attention to your studies and respected 'elders' with you full heart? Yeah, I thought not.

Imagining the 'emo' thing is a fad for tweens/teens, which I will admit for some it is, but for a lot it isn't, does it really make a difference to you? I can understand if you ahve a problem with, say, chavs, as they actually DO things to annoy people and wreck places, but emos, I mean come on, if we are stereotyping, an emo is more likely to harm them self than you.

In short, remove your head from your arse, metaphorically.

i apologize to everyone for all the replies. i get in this zone and i just reply to everything and anything, and i just realized how many that was! haha so sorry i took up so much space replying to ppl. loved the article and cant wait to try it out :)

little_miss_murder;;, i am posting a lot of comments, cuz im replying to a lot of little girls who are just a tad mislead. i love the emo trend, but i dont do it myself...not all together anyways. like, i have skinny jeans but i dont wear em with band shirts or black hoodies. i have black hoodies and band shirts but ill wear em with a skirt. as for make up..depends on my mood... ect ect but i did like the article. just wanted to clear the air that i may sound "mean" with my gazillion replies, but if ppl didnt say stupid shit, then i wouldnt get all worked up. :P

so what i got from this was if you dont dress like an emo, youre automatically a prep, and a slut, and definately not an individual. because apparently the only way to be an individual is to dress like, well, "emo"...like the rest of the "individualists". get over yourselves. ppl dont judge how you look, they judge your attitude, and if you think anyone who isnt you is a slut, fake, prep whatever, then youre the one who can fuck yourself for judging.
ps- im not an emo or a prep...so what the hell am i? i guess i dont exist.

omg i love this comment...because its not a life story about how depressed you are, like all the 13 yr olds commenting. its legitimately about the make up instructions and how they worked for you! ahaha...ive just been commenting on everyones comments cuz they have nothing to do with the instructions. your comment just made my day :P

exactly! jr high is a super awkward time and is almost impossible to discover who you are during it because kids are crazy judgemental and really mean. its just cuz its the awkward stages in life and so it will change.

um...get help. if you really didnt wanna live like you say you dont, you wouldnt cut...cuz it doesnt really do much to kill you...you wouldve killed yourself already.
im not trying to be an asshole, im just trying to help...um, if you hate your life so much, seriously talk to someone. i used to cut like, years ago but it was because i was trying to fit into the depressed stereotype. and yes, teenagers go through shit but every teenager gets depressed and goes through phases. cutting is really stupid, and i stopped because i realized...its fucking pointless.
and ditto...need to talk. im totally here. i love talking and listening and love love love giving advice.

omfg i friggen agree with you! like, 13 years old saying "im sooo different. i know who i am. i have all these deep thoughts and emotions and ppl judge me. im just different, even though im 13." um, ok. when i was 13 i was just learning about puberty. im almost 19 and im just learning who i am. and i kno these little girls are gunna say "ya but since im so different i know who i am already cuz im so mature," ect ect. but the emo look doesnt mean you kno who you are at all. so youve been like that from 12-13. woop de shit. youre still gunna figure stuff out in your life. trust me, you will not stay that way forever. youll grow boobs!
ahaha,...sorry. loved what you commented and it started a rant :P

ya, you're so "different". just like EVERYBODY else. every "emo" ive met or heard talk says "i'm not emo, just different." ya, youre soooo different. thats why when you google your so called "different", there happens to be a search result of over a million pages. LOL

I was emo at eleven, but got over it with some adult help, but at thirteen I'm still keeping the look because it's a part of, my history of who I am. I'm emotionally tied to my black and red arm warmers, my neon bracelets, my canvas peace chunky bracelets. My skinny jeans(mosly black) and my purple and black Pastry shoes. The tight, black tops with Sum 41, My Chemical Romance, and old school Journey logos on them. My hair dye and slashed bangs and my lip pierced with a little diamond stud. Mostly to the old, torn, beaten up white canvas belt with emo skulls and lightening bolts in red and black. My anklets and neon stuff...Emo doesn't always mean emotionally scarred, just different

wow some of you people are assholes.
Seriously, I'm in 8th grade, and I don't call myself emo, but other people do, so I don't know.
Yes, I cut. Yes, I have ACTUAL PROBLEMS!!! You wouldn't believe the HELL I have to live through when I don't really WANT to live.
I can't believe that some of you people that are 15 or 16- who were probably "emo" *rolls eyes* for about three months, think you're better than 13 or 14 year olds that have been like this for longer than that. I've been like this for 3 years, and NOT because it's a "trend". Do you really think I like being tripped in the hallways? That's really stupid. Who do you think you are? We're just as good as you, and you have no right to treat us like that.

This is really good instructions(: And to everyone who says that 12 and 13 year olds are to young for this, just get over yourself. Im 13 and yeah my parents hate the way i dress but who cares. Stop labeling yourself "emo", The makeup and clothes are just to express who we are through what we wear cause most people dont stand aroung long enough to figure out who we really are. And that goes for everone.

I think it's abit silly how people see emo as something you become. Emo means emotional. But the emo fashion is something you just like and follow the trends of. The emo fashion is always something i've liked and i find my self wearing it most of the time, but i'm not 'emo'.
Labels mean nothing. Stop being so immature and see yourself as your own person. Be a leader, not a follower.
And this step by step guide is awesome :) thanks for the post

nahh i think its better to find out who u are at an earlier age.i did it when i was 13 and have stuck with the sam style for almost threee years. let the mdo whatthe want.

Holy. Why so many pre-teens?!?! Seriously. Aren't you a bit young to be into this kind of thing? You're supposed to be outside, having fun. You're too young to have any real problems.
I agree with the whole labeling thing. "Emo" simply means "emotional." That's it. This style of make-up shouldn't be called emo, it should be called "Thick, smokey eye makeup."

does anyone else on here find it sad that there are all there sixth graders and 12 and 13 year old girls that are depressed and are "trying to be themselves"...? if they want to be themselves, they should try a makeup that shows them selves, a more natural one that compliments their features. a more intense makeup like this (which is pretty cool by the way! great instruction!) should wait until you're older, and more sure of who you are and if thats the way you want to live your life. trust me. when your still in jr. high, style changes. people change. and your opinion on beauty will change.

That was some really awesome instructions , they were simple with a wonderful result . And for all you people out there calling yourselves "emo" you`re just buying into society`s need to label everyone . "Emo" actually means emotionally challenged , so you can like the whole "emo" style , but it is unlikely you actually are one . And calling yourself that makes you a poser , because no one calls themselves "emo" willingly .

wow that realy explanes things and that helped alot im 12years old and my dad dosnt like it my mom doesnt realy care

i am thirteen too and yeah i just turned emo over time
i love who i am though i think its a good thing
and my family isnt very nice to me about it they are
all you have to be a certain way to be accepted by society
and i could really care less if their society accepts me or not")

I am 13 years old and i am an emo. It doesnt matter how old you are, as long as you are confident in yourself. I didnt try to be emo, i just became an emo over time. If you are still young like me it takes time for some parents to come to terms with you being an emo. I have been an emo for 6months now and my parents still dont like me being an emo and they try to change me, but jst hold your head high and say this is who i am and who i want to be

i tryed this on a girl my bff out camping she looked hot with it on than i did it on myself i look awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Happy happy

dude, relax. just because we're not in the teen years yet doesn't mean that we aren't the same style as you. you need to back off and let us be who we want to be and not judge us.

ya okay Blacklight.Thankz.One problem though i cant work any harder in skool i am already an A STUNDENT:p......but thanx for the help............will u add me on msn nessameagan@hotmail.com

yeah. don't worry
you'll find yourself underneath it all.

Dear Rebal,
If you're 12 or 13, you'll probably have found a different 'look' by this time next week. All this fuss about people hating you for 'trunning' (it's turning by the way) makes it sound like you've given them the plague and not a probably dire new makeup look. Heck, you probably don't even know the difference between Goth and Emo.

Instead of wigging out over your latest beauty fad, why not pay more attention to your studies and less to the whimsical opinions of other barely adolescent teens.

To the author of this piece, it's well written, enthusiastic and clearly understandable. A big hat's off to a nice little helping hand to anyone wanting to dabble in a more dramatic look.
