Are these the rulz that need to be followed in order for someone to be labeled as emo?

1. Dye your hair black, and cut it so that only a swaft of hair covers your left eye, nothing else.

2. DO NOT EAT. You need to look malnourished and disgustingly pale.

3. Steal all your sisters pants that she wore in the 6th grade and wear them; dont worry, your non-existant crotch wont bulge.

4. Make a myspace or livejournal, and constantly update it with headers like "Life is so pointless without you" or the such.

5. Put eyeliner on while your father watches in disgust, wondering where it all went wrong, and contemplating whether he should wait for you to kill yourself, or if he should smother you in your sleep.

6. Join PETA and say that anyone who eats meat are the equivalent to nazis, and then wear a t-shirt with the words "Go Veg or Die" slapped on the front, along with some zany image of a heart with a knife stabbed in it.

7. Constantly cut yourslef, but remember, across the street, not down the highway!

8. Listen to bands that are so amazing bad, deaf people cringe when it is played. Examples include My Chemical Romance, UnderOath, and of course my favorite, Fall Out Boy. Also, dont forget psuedo-"metal" bands like Killswitch Engage, Bullet for My Valentine, and everyones favorite, Avenged Sevenfold.

9. Cry about how pointless war is and feel bad for people with AIDS, the homeless, impoverished and famine stricken youth, and those with cancer and other horrible diseases, but do NOTHING to help, and take NOTHING for granted.

10. And finally, have the BALLS to tell righteous, good natured people that they are insensitive and ignorant about their (emo)lifestyle.

If you follow this list, than in no time you'll be everyones favorite wannabe victim!

Update:

Sarah, that rule will be added after the Committee of Radical International Emo Society or C.R.I.E.S looks over your recommendation

Update 2:

Mizzciria27, your Idea will be taken into consideration

    Also very important is NEVER let both your eyes show at the same time.

    And taking a normal picture is crazy, take it from a every odd position that makes your head look 10 times larger than your whole body.

    EDIT:

    It better or I will... I will... crawl into that dark corner and chew my hair.....

    Also, if deemed necessary by the C.R.I.E.S, you will create a Y!A account to troll along the Rock&Pop section to defend MCR to the death(or at least until you get suspended) and piss off metalheads and pretty much everyone else, while trying to convert more followers with the promises of acceptance and sexual partners and favors.

    I like reasons #5,8,and 10.

    I sure needed a good laugh, and my goodness this did it!

    I do sorta have emo hair, but at least I can whoop someone's a** if they call me out on it.

    ALSO, dont forget that the picture that they take of themselves making their cranium look ridiculously large, must be taken in the bathroom.

    Yeah, but Avenged Sevenfold isn't emo. Believe me, I despise emo's...

  • 1 decade ago

    Hmmm.. I do think they are the rules. The emo community probably has these set in stone tablets somewhere. Thanks for the laugh! Have a good evening!

  • yep...methinks you pretty well covered it

    *when you ask about Emos...does Y!A want to put it in the gay and transgendered section? Thats were it wants to put mine.

    Whats more homo than homo? Emo.

    should it be mandatory for all emos to practice birth control? Can i help with some retro-active birth control?

    I wonder how many emos will go cry and cut themselves in a corner after reading this...
