emo poser

A person who tries to fit in with the emo label just for attention or popularity (which doesn't make sense because emo people aren't supposed to be popular) Anyway, here are some ways to spot an emo poser: 1. Act depressed 24/7, even when nothing is wrong in their lives 2. Cut themselves purposefully... and then show it to everyone 3. Must always adopt the complete emo look: dark dyed hair with sidebangs, very tight pants, an emo band t-shirt (like Hawthorne Heights) at least 3 items from Hot Topic, and of course, eyeliner 4. Has a rich family 5. Music lists ALWAYS include the following bands: My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, The Used, Simple Plan, Fall Out Boy, AFI, and more 6. Throws emo song lyrics around on their myspace/xanga/livejournal/etc., usually as their display name 7. On the above-mentioned sites, include pictures of themselves with the typical myspace angle (weird camera aim which barely allows for the viewer to see the person except for their hair, or at least one of their eyes) 8. Only talk to people who look just like themselves (and may get rejected if they see how much of a poser he/she is) 9. Are anorexic or have some other mental disorder, usually involving their self-image (because all emo posers think they're ugly) 10. Complain about their "hard lives" all the time In short, emo posers are the reason that everyone hates emos. They're the ones who act like this, so people think that all emos do it too. In reality, true emo people act like themselves, and the only way that they are all alike is that they tend to have a primarily emotional personality. That's it. It has nothing to do with being depressed or mental disorders, or listening to all the same bands, unless you have a good reason for being depressed, did not force the mental disorder on yourself, or listen to the bands because you actually like them. Though, in reality, I personally do not like most of the bands. They're not in my taste. I'm not gonna insult them though. Only the people who listen to them just because everyone else does, AKA the posers.
