The decision is yours, but let me give you a little insight. I used to be "emo". I used to be fascinated by those crowds of people. One of the main popular "emo girls" at the time had a crush on me, she was over weight, I had no interest in her at all.. but it was because of her I got accepted fairly quickly into the scene. And I befriended a lot of other emos, and yes, a few hott chicks along the way. I looked like a faggot, I'm not even going to lie. I wore tight ass jeans, ***** band t-shirts I never even really listened to, I even wore eye make-up at one time. I look back at it now and I am like "What the **** was I thinking?" This was during my freshman and sophomore year of HS, and yes I did get rediculoued. The girls loved it, I found myself surounded by girls, I would get a gf.. but they never lasted long. Yes, everything these guys are saying is true. You get looked upon differently, and are stereotyped, whether you like it or not. Eventually, I slowly faded out of the trend. It got more popular now, there are a lot more "posuer" kids now. I was in it when it wasn't really that popular. People did hate me though, I had jocks up in my face wanting to fight me and ****. You really don't wanna go through that, it makes you an ******* in the end. So maybe it was a good thing for me.. it toughened me up... but still, if I could go back in time that is one thing I would of changed.
Now I'm a hitting the end of my junior year. I did a complete 180 from my old self. I wear "bro shorts", skater shirts (i actually do skate), nice shoes... I actually dress well, and yes I do get attention from chicks. My friend base has completely changed.. I know a lot of "cool" people and popular chicks. I go out partying with them sometimes. Some of my old emo friends hate me, and call me a sell out. And occasionally I get people who come up to me and are like "Hey, didn't you used to wear tight jeans and were all emo?" I don't deny it, I actually make jokes out of it. It's kind of funny when I think about it. I still kind of inhereted the life style though. It's still a part of me. I go to shows, and I still love the music. And I am still good friends with a lot of my old "emo" friends. I'm actually in a band. Gives me massive social proof.. sometimes. I still get called emo sometimes, could be because of the lip ring and/or studded belt. but that's about it. I wear mostly shorts now, and skater stuff.
But yeah.. I learned a lesson about stereotypes. I have been on both sides of the fence with this. I sometimes make fun of emos now, even though I am friends with a lot of them. I will stick up for the ones who are my friends, but some of them are just gay faggots... unfortunately you don't have people like me who wait to get to know a person before they talk ****... so like if you get some emo haircut you will probably have a bunch of idiots on your throat.
That's just my point of view. You could regret this later. Make sure it's something you REALLY want before you do it. But also.. I know a few emo guys who are pimps and have had sex with a lot of these girls I like to call "scene sluts", although they dress more "hardcore" than "emo". Probably because they are *******s... they know how to spit game like a DJ, they just look rediculous. Kinda like mystery! Lol.
