and are you embarrassed about it now?



So the tense isn't correct. That's what happens I guess when you just copy and paste.

but the symptoms are crystal-clear: if you have about five of them: red alert: you may have been quite the emo.


(a) You symbolically change the color of your hair or fingernails to reflect how mad you are at someone.

(b) Your writing in the last month contains the word “heart” 30% more frequently than it did before.

(c) When you’re upset and feel like breaking something, you calm yourself down by drinking a mug of tea by your windowsill.

(d) You’ve been thinking lately about “the gaps between people” and the void that separates you from everyone else.

(e) You text your ex at one A.M. while drunk and use a bitter fruit metaphor to describe the end of your relationship. They don’t respond and you write a short story about it titled something like “What Went Wrong.”

(f) You agree with this statement: A good word to rhyme with “knife” is “strife.”

(g) When someone’s ignoring you, you decide it’s because they’re just tragically private.

(h) You’ve described yourself as in “a quarter-life crisis” to someone else.

(i) You want to make a piece of art that just reflects the truth. Something that really “cuts to the bone” of “what things are really like.”

(j) Your creative writing teacher describe you as “evocative” and “sincere.”

(k) You’ve recently gained a sizable Internet following of what you suspect are teenage girls.

(l)You’re trying to reference Edgar Allen Poe more in your daily conversations.

(m) I don't know why this wasn't on the list: it could also be your choice of music like if you listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, The Used, Panic! at the Disco, Green Day, etc.

My favorite band was My Chemical Romance, then Panic! at the Disco at some point. I could've sworn Gerard Way was a vampire

The only thing that people associated me with "emo" was my hair in junior/senior year high-school. But I had the hair as the "emo" trend started to get big.

And the only reason I had "emo" hair was because that's when I really got into anime in junior year highschool and just finished watching Death Note which started my anime asphyxiation. lol

I also at the time strictly listened to classical music. I literally knew almost nothing about modern day bands at the time.

Emo is just another word for Introvert, you're either "Emo" or you're not, I hate people who try to be Emo, they look pathetic, coloring your hair green, blue, any unnatural hair color and wearing black lipstick and painting your nails black and trying to act like an Introvert doesn't make you look "cool" it makes you look like the perfect punching bag.

Only music applies to me.

There were times where I did hate the world and felt detached from it. I think it was because I just felt hated and lonely. It never reflected in the way that I looked or acted though but some of my music choices might have been influenced by that.

When I was in sixth grade, all I wanted to do was sit in my closet wearing Vans and listening to Three Days Grace.

I'm going through a second emo phase now because all I wear is black. Emo supremo.

It "was" the "cool" thing for me honestly.

Nah, only hair and music. Personality-wise I'm more of a shut-in than an emo.

Emo's are like that so I don't know what you mean by shut-in

If being a shut-in is what you mean by emo then yea I am one, but that's not what emo is afik. I don't color my hair, fingers,cut my wrists and all the other shit those folks do.
