So im getting called "emo.."?

I always get called "emo".

But Im not what you would call emo.

Just becuase I wear black eye-liner, straighten and ruffle up my hair, people are always saying it.

I dont do any of the things "emos" do (i.e cutting wrists,always depressed..)

Yes, i wear emo fashion, and i have no problem with emos. over half my friends are emo,

But those people calling me emo will walk around in skinny-leg jeans and flat shoes.

How can i get these people to stop calling me emo, its just like being called a skank,nerd,geek,fat, when youre not!

So im getting called "emo.."?

stop wearing the emo uniform...

seriously, why do you care what people think? i got over this years ago. i dress like a metalhead. i had the long hair (though started shaving it when i enlisted), the band shirts, etc... people STILL call me a baby eater because i listen to, and dress, metal.

dress how you want and just dont start cutting yourself over all this nonsense

who cares what people call you. dress what you feel you like best. also emo girls are very attractive in my opinion.

omg! look at this vidoe on youtube. its called emo kid. its a song. thats emo..if ur like that..ur emo.

So im getting called "emo.."?

If you don't want to be called emo then don't dress emo, you emo

So im getting called "emo.."?

Tell them that ur not emo

just say that u like wearing emo clothes

So im getting called "emo.."?

ignore them. just like if you are being called anything..they are looking for a reaction so if you dont give them one they will stop.

So im getting called "emo.."?

i wouldnt let that bother me either they wanna be you are they are just aint because they have what you have and that s ya own style.

So im getting called "emo.."?

It really does not matter what they call you. Be your self, if they don't like it, screw them.

Well you'll never stop ppl from expressing their opinions because well ur only human. U shouldn't care what ppl call you because if they put a label on u then they're just not worth it. How about get a tshirt and write "I'm not emo... i just like black" or something like that. Also some ppl dont know the exact meaning of emo, they think its just ppl who wear black and therefore those ppl are clearly stupid. And you know how to deal with stupid ppl:

a) ignore them

b) make fun of them

c) lol cant think of anything but you get the idea

So im getting called "emo.."?

clearly these idiots have failed to notice that emo is actually a fashion statement at the moment rather than being an expression of mentality (god, that sounds pompous - sorry!). You said that they were wearing flat shoes and skinnies, so they've obviously been drawn in as well. I know it's difficult but i would just ignore them, or make a joke out of it. If you joke about it before they do, then it takes all of the fun away from it, and when they can see that you aren't bothered about it, they'll stop doing it. And it's better to have straight, ruffled hair than messy hair.

So im getting called "emo.."?

people only call people like that emo

because lets face it

ITS BORING

you all look the same

fair enough you like the style and you like fitting in

but try and give the look a little twist

what makes you look like you

so they dont say ooo look at that emo

there say ooo isnt that * blah blah what ever your name is* =]

face it

they all look like clones do you really wanta be just another clone ?

up to you hun =]

So im getting called "emo.."?

i think they are just jealous that u dress like emos so just tell them to piss off and tell them that they are just jealous.

note that most of the time when people tease u and u get pissed they tease u more so just keep your cool and say that u are emo.(even though ur not!)

So im getting called "emo.."?

People label things so they are easier to identify. Which isn't the smartest thing, just because you can't place something doesn't mean you should just call it something else. Sweetie, don't worry about them. YOU know who you are and nothing else matters. Hell if you look at my yahoo 360 pictures I wear black liner, black, etc etc, I haven't been called an emo yet, and personally if somebody did. They obviously are just saying that because that is what they figure I look most like maybe. But eh, who cares? If you know you're not emo, don't bother with the energy.

Tell them they call call you whatever they want, it isn't going to make it so.

How are people supposed to know that you aren't emo when you admit yourself that you dress emo?

I'm assuming that most of the people who call you this do so because of your appearance and the people you hang out with, the same way they would call someone a nerd if they have glasses, braces, and a pocket protector. If you want people to stop calling you emo, stop looking emo, or get to know everyone better so that they realize that you really aren't emo.

Or you could just stop caring about what other people say.

So im getting called "emo.."?

you could punch the b*tch that is saying that in the face! lol most people dont think emo kids will stand up for themselves, some dont. but if you do, they should stop if they still dont, then set them on fire...lol...im not joking...but really who cares what the whores around you are saying??

So im getting called "emo.."?

I've been there before, I would show them your wrists and they can see for themselves that your cut free. If their stupid enough to not know that you have to cut yourself to offically be emo I would give them a long lecture

So im getting called "emo.."?

people label others by only what they look like, dress like, who they hang around with, even who their related to - these are only things they can SEE.

in your case, you say you like the emo fashion and you hang around alot of 'emo' kids. because people see you WITH them and LOOKING a bit like them (only because you happen to like their fashion style) like them, others tend to label you as one of them.

Next time they say something like that to you, point out to them that THEY ARE wearing the skinnys and flats!

After all, the word 'emo' is just a shortened word for 'emotional'... that is, getting depressed, slitting the wrists... it's their own fault that they're stupid enough not to see that.

If they still dont stop, just ignore them.. they're soo not worth it!!

:D

So im getting called "emo.."?

tell them to fck off. be who you wanna be and do what you wanna do and dont let no one get in the way of who YOU are.

So im getting called "emo.."?

You shouldn't worry about trying to change someones opinion of you. People are always searching for something to bash someone else about. You know who you are, if you're comfortable being you, keep it up and be confident about it. When people say things about me, I go along with it and say things like who told you or people talk to much, now, how do they know that I wanted others to know. You would be surprised how silly people are like that. Most of the time, I usually add some additional comments just to see if they will repeat it, how many will believe it and come to me to say, "I heard this or that about you." Then I go off and lol because I think they're dumb for gossiping and spreading rumors.
