How is this emo/scene?
Prepare for a long speech or rant, whichever you prefer. Every time I show a friend what hair cut I want, they always say the same thing- I didn’t know you were emo?
Here are the so called requirements of Emo or scene or whatever people. I don’t know how picking one part of your looks means you fall under this ‘category’. I’m not stereotyping either, since this is what everyone on the internet says they have:
1. INSANE hair cuts
2. stark contrasts in hair color- like black and pink
3. generally have lots of piercings and ‘tattoos’
4. always carry Messenger Bags
5. Wear glasses (WTF? That’s loads of people)
6. Converse sneakers
7. Tight Jeans
8. Studded Belts (Two or three at a time)
9. Weep a lot
10. Write poetry all the time
11. Always talk about hurting themselves and complaining
12. Shop at Hot topic
13. (this one is honestly new) Are in Like with Twilight
14. bandannas or huge hairclips
15. Like bands like Avenged Sevenfold
16. black nails
17. Have belt buckles or wallet chains
18. Wear armbands or arm sleeves

First off, how can anyone be ‘emo’ in the first place? Isn’t that a music genre?! Just doesn’t make any since if you question me. They could say they are a weird offspring of Gothic, but maybe not. I dunno, I’ve never even talked to one before.
I chose a few years ago that when I turned 18 I was going to get a complete makeover (well just my hair and clothes really) and I chose to get something similar to this, only all blue. I chose something like this since I have a huge forehead and despise that I can’t cover it (I’ve never had bands before):

1. I’m in no way endorsing that everyone should have crazy ass rainbow colored hair, I want only one color (but I may change it every year or so to another color) at a time, but I really don’t see what the huge deal is anyway… It’s just flippin’ hair, and last I checked It was yours to do with as you pleased.
2. Sometimes two completely different colors do go excellent together, but only as highlights, not one strip of bright color on dark… but that’s my opinion
3. I only have my ears pierced, like every other sane girl i know; and tattoos aren’t really accepted in my religion.
4. I don’t have a messenger bag anymore; just a computer bag (because I go to college and the only thing I want to carry is my Comp)
and I don’t know a single person who hasn’t had a messenger/shoulder bag at some point. Yes that includes guys.
5. I DO wear glasses, and that’s probably because I’m half blind! I don’t see how wearing htem proves anything. Not everyone that wears glasses is smarty pants or a dork you know.
6. I used to Like my only pair of converse, I got them when I was 10- they were pink and white, and while I really don’t like pink, I wore them anyway. I haven’t worn converse since though… just regular sketchers or flats.
7. Wearing tight anything is just plain yucky, especially if your a guy… doesn’t look right at all and your only harming your you-know-what.
8. Who didn’t stare at a studded belt one day and reckon dang that’s just awesome! I don’t have one, and I’m never paying $20 for a flippin’ belt, but I still reckon their kinda cool. I do have a belt with metal skulls and crossbones on it though, but I only wear it when I really need it. I’ll like ‘em until I die and you can’t stop me! But I’ll never wear two belts, that’s just retarded.
9. I only weep when someone I know has died, or I’m watching an awesome action movie and the main character dies or someone he likes gets whacked (ex: Braveheart (I finally saw it yesterday lol), Gladiator, Clash of the Titans, Troy. These are all strangely in the same genre) And anyone (especially a teen boy) who cries for a silly reason is a complete and utter wussy. Sorry to be harsh, but I’m a girl and I don’t even weep over stupid shit.
10. Oh, I write poetry all right, damn excellent poetry too… when I’m in English class!
11. If you want to cut yourself all the time, then why don’t you just go ahead and throw yourself of a building? (mean I know, but really?) If you want to hurt yourself and your not starring in the next edition of Saw, then why are you wasting your own time? Maybe they could just try climbing a tall ladder and falling off and see how that feels as a test run. (small do they know jumping off a high building means you’ll die of shock before you even splat on the ground.
12. I’m personally disgusted with how many posers there are at that store now, mind you I only walk past it when I hang at the mall with my friends, but you can see all kinds of annoying fangirls running around in there… and I blame it on harry potter and twilight. (no offense if you like them though, but I hope your not obsessed)
13. If your in like with Edward or whoever else is in that movie/book then fantastic for you I guess, If your sole purpose in life is to conform to

Rofl, get a emo haircut if you want. No one cares.
There’s no way I’m reading that.
Yawn.
Get the haircut that you want, a guarantee that nobody will care.
I really agree with you. I DESPISE marks.
Who cares?
Just get your haircut and don’t worry about it.
whats the point of this question? why are you listing all this ‘emo’ requirments’? noone cares and it doesnt have anything to do with a haircut. i mean seriously, what in the world? see a therapist, get a life.
its a scene cut but it doesnt mean your scene if you have it…i mean….i despise that when ppl do that too…ppl get the scense that if emo’s or scenes were it constintly then its emo or scene to them…. so they categorise it….I mean…i knw wat ur sayin…i like the hair cut….im not emo or scene *even though I have alot of that crap at the top* and I’ve thought about gettin a hair cut like that to…
hey, if it’s what you want, go for it!
i had a mas streak of blonde through my hair for a while, when the rest of it was a purpley brown colour (i just dyed it all black but the blonde is starting to show through)
people are pathetic these days, i have a guy in my science class who calls me scene kid, not just bcoz of my hair but coz of the people i hang out with. AND then when i wear skinny’s with my converses i get called emo WTF.
AND everyone has to write poetry in english, faark, people just are pathetic.
so yeah, i don’t really know what i just said or if it makes sense.
I’m sorry hunny, but let it go..
i really agree with you!! i dont unerstand it at all either! and i dont get why people cut themselvves cuz like u said if u wanna hurt yourself just go jump off a cliff or something! i dont get it and i liked ur choice or haircuts! it looked pretty cool!
do whatever you want, and if anyone gives you a mouthful for that then they have way too much time on their hands.
