I'm sorry to say this, you can't be emo. It's a genre of music, lol. Sorry. But I see what you mean. You should just be yourself. If you're the stereotypical "emo" then that's who you are.
As some of the other columnists have said, "emo" is a psychological thing. An illness. You don't want to be that way... Trust me.
Although I never associated myself as an "emo", I did used to cut myself. I tell you this, not as a suggestion to become "emo" but as an example of why you shouldn't. It got my in so much trouble you would not believe...

My opinion aside, it's not enough to just listen to [awesome] music. There's an entire life style involved. I myself used to where TONS of [darker] band tee's. I would also never been seen without a jacket on. (perferably tight fitted) Skinny jeans are always fun ;]

As for the attitude. Typically pessimistic, though often indifferent. I was always very open, and opinionated, but that may just be me...
Oh, very artistic- another trait of the typical "emo"

Anyway, trying to be "emo" is just getting sucked into the stupid stereotypical world...
Shoot me an email at; giniluvmetal@gmail.com, and I could share some more in-depth stuff about the life style you're attempting to take on.

Hope you found at least some of this helpfull.
Good luck sweet heart! ;D

You really shouldn't want to become emo it's usually linked to psychological illnesses such as depression or bipolar disorder.
But I am going to give you advice anyway hun! :)

So first of all people get the emo and scene look confused, so that means generally stay away from a lot of color. Dye your hair black and get it cuts with lots of layers and bangs that sweep across and get longer (short hair with guys long hair with girls)

shoes-
Get yourself black, purple, or green high top converse or go to the Vans store and pick a cute pair of black shoes they have a good selection of shoes.

Pants-
Skinny jeans
black, grey, or normal colors
usually you can find them with tears which adds to the look, put some safety pins on the pockets or on the tears it looks cool

Shirts
Emo band t's or black w/ red striped shirts
if your a girl try black tanks with a cute pattern or layering black button ups short sleeves w/ a tank if you are a guy try thick black and red. white. grey, or green striped thermals or t shirts

hoodies
Black long sleeved hoodies are cute
striped is also great but do not wear these while wearing a striped shirt. Get a really tight hoody or a really loose one.

Accessories
bracelets
MY favorite thing is jelly bracelets these have a bad rep for a sex game but usually aren't used for that. Get these in black and one other color.
studded bracelets are also cool.
necklaces should usually be the silver chain ones with something on it. If you like bullet for my Valentines there is an amazing heavy bullet necklace at Hottopic or get a simple necklace that has a heart or a broken heart on it

Make up
Eye liner that is black, do not get pencil eye liner I would stick with the kind you roll out in a tube or liquid eyeliner
don't over do it and look like a raccoon though
go one foundation skin tone lighter and evenly apply it, stick with normal colors for eye shadow like grey, brown, and black
lip gloss always looks nice if you are a girl so have fun.

I hope this helps please rate
best of luck :)

Hey, here's a good idea,

Stop being a poser.
Nobody will like or respect you.

Emo is emotional, you twit, and can sometimes be linked to serious conditions such as bipolarness or depression.

Stop looking through blind eyes and enjoy who you are and who your friends are.
You can't just randomly decide that you're going to be someone/thing you're not.

You'll just end up making a douche out of yourself.
