America is where it started and over there, it's pretty big. They seem to all stick with its original concept.

In England though, it's just a following. Anyone can be one, they just need an anime haircut, wear tight jeans and like bands like Panic! At The Disco. They do it for attention rather than do what emo's actually do.

Besides, with this labelling of apparent 'emo bands', many miss the point that Fallout Boy are hardly 'emo', and are just a pop-punk, heavy rock band.

Noo.. Emo is a kind of music. Such as panic! at the disco etc etc. Im a mosher who likes heavy stuff such as metallica, iron maiden, Kiss, thin lizzy,
bullet for my valentine, trivium, slipknot. but im a bit emo too. i like greenday. but emo isnt clothes and stuff it's music and a type of who you are

The idea of emos being sad isn't really true.. like goths, they often say they're depressed when something bad happens, and some of them might cut, but overall they're a pretty happy bunch (as long as they can pretend to be society's biggest rebels). Emo is a fashion, just like chav, goth, punk, etc., it's all about how you look. The "attitude" usually follows anyway, because people dress a certain way to either fit in (and as such will adopt the attitude of other such people) or to try standing out. In my experience, people who try to be "individual" and stand out are all the same. It's a case of "you should be an individual, just do what I do".

Basically, if you want to be emo, just get the haircut and some scarily tight trousers, maybe some Converse shoes and a tank top with some band name on it.

Ive said it before, and ill say it again. In a few years, we are going to look back at emo styles the same way we look back on 80's styles today.

why would you "want to become emo" anyway? cant you just be yourself?
just wear what you feel most comfitable in, and listen to what you want to listen to, if it turns out that you listen to what "emos" listen to, then fair enough, but if not.. then dont change what you listen to, just so you can be labelled as an "emo". just be yourself.

Pah, there are no real emos around anymore just the fake ones aka scenesters. But to "become an emo" these days no doubt you'd have to like Fall Out Boy/Panic! At The Disco/My Chemical Romance/Taking Back Sunday, wear studded belts/drainpipes/converse/rimmed glasses and get a fringe/dyed hair. There. Yes thats stereotyping, but come to my town and you'll see that its nothing but a fashion trend. Don't get me started.

That is true, there are no emo's in my school/town thought. The clostest thing is me and my mates, and tbh, I'm not really emo.

Because people want to fit in. You arent really saying anything new.
