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?

Lifes weird like that. [ someone1234's advice column | Ask someone1234 A Question ]

If you're not afraid to be a little different, then props to you! You're the true individual, and you can make fun of them! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

not_your_star34 answered Monday March 13 2006, 8:08 pm: 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?
