how to become emo

Transitioning between styles can be a difficult period in your life, especially if you’re hanging out with a group of people from a certain culture whose style you’re drifting away from. Many times, the changes are gradual. In fact, if you want to learn how to go emo and still keep the same friends you have now, then it would be best to make the switch gradually so you don’t shock your friends or get people calling you. put.

So if you really want to know how to become emo, you have to start with the core of what emo really is, which is a style of music. The truth of the matter is that you may sound like emo, but if you listen, we’ll say mostly country music for argument’s sake, then you’ll just sound like a fake. If you like the emo style but don’t enjoy the music, then the truth is that you will never really be emo as society sees it.

If you like music and are ready to make a fashion change, slow and steady will win the race. And by slow, I don’t mean take a whole year to transition your style, but if you don’t want to look like a super poser, then you should probably take a month or two to gradually change things up. This will not only help your friends accept the idea that you’re emo, but it will also make things feel less awkward for you than having a sudden change overnight. Obviously, if you have a lot of emo friends, this transition period can happen faster and be a lot less awkward for all parties involved.

Here’s a slow transition guide you can follow to achieve the look you want without surprising your friends or looking like a poser who changed styles overnight.

Week 1: Start wearing emo band shirts or shirts that are symbolic of emo culture.
Week 2: Change the shoes you normally wear for Converse, Vans or ballerinas (if you are a girl).
Week 3: Switch to wearing skinny jeans.
Week 4: Accessories. Go buy some studded or jeweled belts to complement your outfit.
Week 5: Get a new haircut.
Week 6: Change your makeup (if you are a girl).

You might be tempted to change your style overnight, but that’s not how you go emo if you plan on attracting other emos and don’t currently have any emo friends. Drastic overnight style changes are very typical of posers and have a 99% failure rate for your reputation in assimilating with people from the new culture you want to be a part of.

Note that I didn’t mention picking up any negative stereotypes about becoming emo. There is no need for you to act differently than you already do. After all, being who you really are will always get you further than being fake.
