Let's begin. Well if your like me and like to wear black and live with people who don't know crap about emos then I'm guessing you've been called one. See I live in Colombia and people here don't know crap about what exactly an emo is. Let me explain to all of you who don't know what an emo is. First off emo stands for EMOtional get it so obviously you get one of the main points of an emo. They dramaticize(is that even a word?) everything for example music lyrics-makes 'em cry(well we all do sometimes but they find ways to make most things sound extremely depressing) or maybe fire burning paper they'll find a way. As I was saying about being EMOtional, let's say your boyfriend breaks up with you or your just really really depressed one day, and emo would probably cut their wrists. As a parody of Fergalicious says, "Emo-licious definition cut my wrist and die."
If you watch What Is Emo? on YouTube you can see that Emo is a subdivision of Goth which is a subdivision of Punk. Emos like to wear a lot of black. Their style consists of black jeans sometimes skirts for girls with striped knee high socks and converse. They also like to wear arm warmers or just random striped arm wear. BTW I would like to add that I love the "Emo style" and I would wear clothes like that almost all the time if I could(my parents grr) but this does not mean I am Emo, just because I like the style doesn't mean I am Emo this is where all the people at my school get confused.
As we watch What Is Emo? we can see from Moonshine23 what an Emo is to him, "Basically Emo is like when no one understands you and your whole life is just like a spiralling black hole of emotion. Like I'm so depressed right now I mean I went to the barber and now my hair doesn't do that flicky thing like that guy from the band like it did before(I think that's what he says)."
Now you understand basically what an Emo is please do not call people Emo when they are not because some people just don't like it when you call them that especially when they are entirely against Emos(I'm not but I know people). Some people get annoyed when you call them the same thing like 5 billion times(my case). Thanks for reading and understanding and if you didn't then that's your problem go watch a video or something. Bye!

There's a term for someone who dresses that way but doesn't like the music: fashion punk.
Sorry, I know it's corny to have your teacher respond to your music blog, but it did says loser's club.
