Act Emo when You're Not
Some kids just believe in Emo, others not so much, but they still want to pass off as a believer. If this sounds like you, read on.

Steps
- Get short-sleeved shirts.
- Say you listen to emo music. Emo music includes Saosin, I Would Set Myself on Fire for You, Brand New, Hot Cross, the Get Up Kids and Dashboard Confessional.
- Wear a pair of jeans, preferably tight. If you can't wear tight, just wear it boot-cut.
- Get bangs if you don't have them, and straighten your hair. Make sure they are side-bangs.
- Wear shoes like Vans and Converse. These can be low top, ankle high, or high top shoes.
- Get some black rimmed glasses, but not thick rims, and if people ask you why, say you need them.
- Try to hang around with emos. No goths and punks, they are not emos.
- Wear thick black and white belts with or without studs. The wilder, the better.
Tips
- If people randomly come up to you and say "are you emo", as they do, say "no", laugh, and keep walking. This has the reverse effect of making people think you ARE an emo, whilst keeping you away from the 'poser' crowd.
- Think about the reason you want to look Emo; if you truly feel like you are, then consider dropping the act and hang out with other like-minded kids.
- This is against everything above this, but the majority of emos who are not afraid of what people think and how they will react will be extremely random and friendly. Don't seclude yourself to a corner and cry.
- Be very quiet in class, only talk when called upon but reply in a low, shaky voice. Remember emos are quiet people and don't like to speak.
Warnings
- Never slit your wrists and never encourage other people to do so. Handle your problems in a mature manner and talk to someone you trust or know well.
- People might also hate you because you are emo. Don't worry, just be the way you like.
