wanna be an emo?
first let us define what emo is?, some would normally say that it is a word which derived from "emotional" --"'emo" , this is true but also extends into appearance, behavior,and perspective in life. It is not only a kind of music but the totality as well. Expressing your inner emotions through music, looks, and behavior.
THE MUSIC!----EMO MUSIC-----
Actually emo music is kinda punk and close to rock but not goth. the words are very intense and emotional. It expresses a strong feeling of sadness and depression. instead of expressing it on a hard core way it has taken a new tole through music. Some emo bands like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus which famous for their song Your Guradian Angel. My chemical Romance, Chicosi one of our local bands and many more.
According to some of my research :
Emo music got its roots from punk rock and the infusion of indie rock. The genre developed in the early 1980’s arguably from such influences as the Cure and Sunny Day Real Estate. In the 1990’s one example of Emo bands would be Fugazi or Texas Is the Reason. Texas Is the Reason is a more indie version of Emo while Fugazi is certainly punk. While a band like Modest Mouse might easily be mistaken for an Emo band because they are punk influenced, highly emotional, and extremely fashionable, they are not Emo. The reason is that their lyrics are more metaphors than straight forwardly emotional lyrics.
THE LOOKS!----EMO LOOKS----
Emo is not only a classification or a type of music it's also a way to express oneself by dressing. It includes the tighter fiting pants with dyed-black or dark straight hair with it covering your face. The longer hair in front with the spikes in the back and some would put black eye shadows More often than not emo people dont smile in pictures. they look dull and pale.
THE BEHAVIOR---EMO BEHAVIOR---
A lot of times Emo is associated with being bitter, depressed, sad, hatred and more. But you can be Emo because you're sensitive, introspective, thoughtful, and quiet. You dont have to be bitter, sad or depressed in order for you to become emo. The way you express yourself is most important.Some people would associate Emo as suicidalPeople hate emos,b/c they view us as suicidal but that's not Emo! .Being Emo is not hurting yourself but expresing it through your fashion, music and behavior.PLEASE PLEASE DONT CUT YOURSELF YOUR JUST HURTING YOURSELF. Emo people are perfectly normal the're just misunderstood by other people because of their sensitive side.
