i don't understand the general concept of emo, people say they're emo, girls love emo's, posers, i generally stay and be myself then try and fit in a stereotype, they say that they are not the norm, but in order to truly be different is to be yourself. But i don't think people will see that and will continue to think of themselves as emo, prep, jock or nerd, bit sad though really..
I suspect it's one of those things where you have to naturally transition into one or you'll be thought of as a poser. In fairness, I would agree with that. I'm not Emo, though. You might be able to pull off Emo fashion and not need to concern yourself with Emo approval. Or would true Emos say you don't need the approval of other Emos, even themselves?
