Bands. Music, it’s all about the music. Emotional songs- just something that makes you feel the feels. Popular or underground, music is the blood of all emos. Try out some emo bands and see which ones you like best.

Sub-genres. Emo has several subgenres, including pop-punk, hyper-pop, hardcore- and more. Explore different kinds of emo music to find which one speaks to you. Or which one gets your head boppin’ :)

TLDR PLZ?... Listen to 'emo' bands. Get familiar with the music.

Apparel. Apparel: 101- coming soon ;) Follow the blog x

Clothing. Emo fashion often includes a lot of; tight apparel, band shirts, studs, checkerboard print and an accent colour, I typically go with red because its my fave lolz- but all black everything. Clothing is something to blend in yet stand out by.

Makeup. Emo makeup consists of again- all blacks. Heavy eyeliner and mascara, a pale face, the sicker you look, the better. Makeup isn't gendered in the emo world and often expected to be worn by anyone.

TLDR PLZ?... Black black black. Black clothing, makeup, accessories.

Expression.

Emotion. Emo culture values honesty, vulnerability. Feel your emotions! It’s literally in the name. If you wanna cry, cry. Emos are meant to be sensitive, don’t be scared to be depressed. -

Art. Emos tend to engage in poetry, songwriting, journaling/diary writing or music. Explore different outlets to share your thoughts and emotions.

TLDR PLZ?... Don't be scared to feel. You're emo, not a normie. Try out a form of writing or music to get those angsty feelings out.

Connect.

Outside. See if you can land some concert or festivals tickets featuring emo bands. upcoming, underground or mainstream. It doesn't matter. Attending events is a great way to meet like-minded individuals and maybe make friends. -

Online. Join some forums, start a social media group. Engage in online activity in the emo scene. Platforms like Reddit and Discord are a good way to connect with others who share your interests. Or follow a blog like this one <3

TLDR PLZ?... Try to get yourself out there. Concerts, online- get into the scene.

Authenticity.

Be you. While exciting to get versed into a new culture, make sure you’re being authentic to who you are. Again, the emo scene values honesty. Be open and express yourself, don't adapt a new persona that you see fit with the scene.

TLDR PLZ?... Be you <3... just a little edgier.

Research. Understanding where emo came from and how the culture evolved can deepen your appreciation. Check out my other post for a little history catchup.
