Hey kids! My name is Amanda, but call me Manders. I'm a psychology/neuroscience/biology student. Throw me questions and I'll throw you an answer. :)

Why is it that when your emo/rock/punk/gothic or whatever that people call you fake when you wear something that's like pink or from the mall? Isn't the whole point of being emo and stuff to be original?

It's pretty hypocritical, really. Those stereotypes say that you should be original, when they really aren't because people who say that they're punk/emo/whatever are just like other people who say they're punk/emo/whatever. You're right.

It's just part of the stereotype. It's like saying you can't be "punk" if you have something that isn't from a thrift store or Hot Topic.

It's kind of like the saying, "You're unique, just like everybody else." See what I mean?

Labels are stupid, they really are.

I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!
