PLEASE answer people think I'm emo how do I deal with this???!!!:/?

Recently I have started to like some rock bands (for example black veil brides, falling in reverse and asking alexandria) and I have also started to act more true to my own style by wearing dark clothes and makeup. My so called 'friends' however have started to say that I look like an emo (emotionally unstable person) and that my new-found strength to be true to myself isn't a good thing. This is really knocking my confidence and word has got around so that now I am constantly faced with people asking me why I am an 'emo' and avoiding me because they think that I am the stereotypical 'emo' and that I am bad company. I just wondered if anyone knows how I can deal with this without pretending to be someone I'm not and going back to what I was like before?? Thanks in advance

    Just do what Andy Biersack (the singer of BVB) would tell you to do-be what the you want to be, and if they don't like it, they can suck it. I started listening to rock music two years ago and I never looked back-I know my friends are real friends because they didn't make fun of me, they listened to some of my favourite bands and went to gigs with me and complimented my skinny jeans. If you want to wear black and listen to Asking Alexandria (Who are amazing) then do it. You're not "emo", you're a person who likes BVB-and like I said before, anyone who doesn't like that can suck it. Emo is a sub-genre of punk, by the way, it's just been coined as an insult. You're not the only person who worries about losing friends because of being different-and it's your job to figure out whose opinion is worth caring about.

    Who says that "emo" stands for "emotionally unstable person"? Everybody is different and you really need to be able to express yourself for who you are, not for what or who someone else thinks you should be. Staying true to yourself is not always easy. Not everybody is going to agree with you and support you. Sometimes you are going to feel alone. You're not, but you will feel it. In the long run, being true to yourself and expressing yourself as you see fit will serve you best.

    Woohooo! FIR and AA!!!! xD

    Honestly there not your friends. They shouldnt judge you based on how you dress or act.

    I get judged everyday for it. What do i do? Tell em to stop judging and give em the middle finger.

    Look people are going to hate on you no matter what. Just ignore it. If they are your true friends they wont label you and wont judge you for who you are. :)

    Trust me been there, done that.

    So just stay true to who you are and dont worry about haters. There always going to hate.

    The stereotypical emo, has scars running up his/her arm, they wear all black, heavy black makeup, long hair, etc.

    As long as you know who you are, be you want to be.
