Am I Emo? Take The Emo Test to Find Out
Do people at school call you emo? Are you rejecting the term because you either refuse to be considered as emo or simply don’t know what it is? Take this quick test below to find out if you’re emo. Simply answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the questions below and then tally up your score.
1.) Do people at your school call you emo?
2.) Do you have a side swooping bang?
3.) Do you hang out with other people that are considered to be emo?
4.) Do you listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco, or Hawthorn Heights? (this list could totally be expanded, and as soon as I finish the giant list of bands I’ll post a link to it here. For the sake of brevity though, these are 3 of the most commonly known emo bands)
5.) Do you wear tight fitting clothing?
6.) Do you like to write poetry?
If you answered Yes to at least 4 of these questions, then you are emo. If that bothers you then sadly you need to change the above things about you to start moving in a different direction, and trust me, trying to change yourself absolutely sucks.
If changing yourself sounds like a complete drag, then just accept that people consider you to be an emo and move on. People like to label things/people, it’s a fact of life. I know that many people shun the label of emo, but it’s really not that bad.
For people that hate labeling, it can be annoying to be called anything, but you can’t change labels or what comes out of other people’s mouths, you can only change yourself. I personally think that you’d be much better off accepting that fact and moving on. Learn not to care what other people think. If they’re not your friends or family then what they think and say shouldn’t matter. That’s the emo thing to do.
If you have a question you would like to Ask an Emo, please post it below. I will be answering questions in the order that they are received.

i know emo is just a trend and everything but ive been told its a state of mind. cant a person be emo without being depressed?
no, then they are not emo, they just like to dress that way
i am EMO nd soo wat i do cut my wrist,cry,am sad.DONT HATE LOLA.
Hey this is Rachel and honestly I have no questions!!! I am turning 13
Years old and I have a major interest in emo boys. I haven’t told
My parents yet. Haha here comes a question! How should I tell
Them that I LOVE emo guys?
being depressed is just one of the stupid labels people make up for emos! you dont NEED to be depressed, just like if your an athleate you dont always NEED to wear under armor and stuff. you just need to know who you are and what you like. Lola, stop treating emos as a stereotype
you dnt have to be depressed just have said yes to 4 of the things listed above heck im emo i have 5 of them but im happy (sometimes) so ya
Of course you can. Emo isn’t so much about being depressed as it is about easily being able to convey a full range of emotions without worrying about what others might think.
no, emo isnt always depressed. Emo stands for emotional hardcore. it is a state of mind brought on by a music genre. So there for, you can not be emo without being EMOTIONAL.
You dont have to be depressed to be a Emo…. the term “Emo” is a music genre,Clothing fashion and music style … just because some people do all those things doesnt mean that they have to cut their wrist ot stuff like that. people who cut their wrist have a proplem with them that they where born with, if you do it for attention you are stupid.and people like that give us Emo’s the wrong empression to others who dont understand us. x
hi um i was just saying people that cut themselves werent specifficly born like that they just have a lot of emotions and they cut themselves to hide the pain thats going through them so they think is all there fault and they take it out on themselves
agreed, im more scene but every1 calls me emo cus i cut
i am emo itz nt that bad.my friends tell me to stop cuz i cut myself.do u mind it!i wasnt born wit it . i do think its my fault. i think im soooo stupid!!!!!!!!im bout to cry.
hey
emo style is very good . i do no know English . i write on the google translation ! hope it is not wrongly written ?!!!
bye , dagmar !!!
5 out of 6. Only cuz I don’t present myself that way at school. If I did, then I’d have yes for number 1
Thanks I just relized that all my friends were right I am Emo.
cuting ur self is bad. ppl who are doing that are depressed and they need help. if u do that just for attention,just like sum so-called-emo- kids do, please stop.
yea i argee with u cutting skin is bad
sooo WAT I DO IT ALL THE TIME.i am emo.kkkkk
its bad but ill admit ive done it only 1 time but never again. i didnt like it but if thats how you roll then people shouldnt judge i mean if your boat floats that way then ya its like a sailor he cant control the wind so he might go the wrong way (away from where he wanted 2 goo) but if ur that depressed i do suggest asking some1 2 help you but you dont have 2 i tried 2 get help b4 i cut myself but no1 would help they just put their problems on me and i helped them but never got help it might not work the same way with you or it might but just follow your gut feeling
GOOD LUCK!
Okay, I cut myself and I’m also an emo. But I only cut my self because I’m trying to hide my pain, also we’re not suicidal and we’re not always depressed. Yeah we dye our hair sometimes and wear black mostely but that doesn’t make us depressed. Some emo’s also like to wear black make-up but does it matter? No, its just how people like to express themselvs.
I just found out I was emo I never knew their are “are u an EMO test”? -_- im the only EMO kid in the school I go to then there was this guy tht called me goth I wasnt I was like did u evr hear the word EMO like my friend she didn’t know wat EMO meant I was like omg
omg how does some1 not kno what emo is well goth is all black try addin some bright colors if your wearing ALL BLACK like add pink then youll look emo
yea cutting your self is bad………just dress emo dont cut your self im emo bt i dress emo and thats it(:
So in other words your a poser
just because you dont cut it dosnt mean your a poser it just states that you hav another way of solving your inner problems that dosnt involve hurting yourself
I still cut myself and dress in skinnys everyday…. sooo really u have it all wrong about acting depressed all the time … when ur really alone ur ganna wanna cut urself soo dont assume its always bad… I have noone okay i only do it bcuz i get hurt at home alot but oh well i am 17 now out of my home i dropped out …. i consitter my self very successful
I cut myself and I have a friend who is scene but am I really emo if I cut myself and are depressed all of the time ?
NO. You’re who you are and you’re hurting. If you’re only cutting to get attention, stop. It’s not worth it. Those scars are there on your body forever and it’s not a good thing. If you’re doing it because you’re hurting, please try to stop. Everyone is better than to cut, someone who has never cut has NO IDEA how much pain someone has to go through to hold a blade to their wrist or a lighter to their arm.. You’re better than that and I hope you can find another way to try and stop cutting.
wat if u have it hard at home and ur always pissed off at people like people come up and say i am a poser but did every thing u said week by week is it okay for an emo to kick some ones #*~
hell yes! for an emo to be someone whos shy and stuff is just another stereotype! fell like someone needs a lesson? give em one! who are they to say whos emo and whos a poser other than to be a poser themselves. like my dad tells me about everything! if someone call you something, well, it takes one to know one
I used to be emo i used to cut myself but in places where no one can see i kept doing it for a year and now i relizaed that it’s just stiupt cuz nothin in the world desrebs to scar yourself for i’m still hangging on it’s been 3 month and now i’m got i still love punk rock music especially Evanescence the point is that i found my way out music is my way it just try to help yourself before it’s too late even if u hate yourself i do and now i still hate myself but i can deel with all of the anger and frustration can’t you guys try just whenever your pissed listen to punk rock music like i do or just become goth the same thing but with no self harm
ive been there too, i used to cut myself but i talked with friends and burried myself in my music and now its easier… though recently ive been having a tough time staying in reality. my mom doesn’t get it but i dont care, i don’t care what people think of me. am i a freak? no, im me and ima gonna stay that way. for those who dont like me the way i am just step aside and let me be. but cutting is definitely not the answer, even if you cut just to actually feel something like i did
Are you a guy or girl?
Thanks a lot… thanks to this quiz and your explanation of sorts I finally understand myself a bit better. Is there some way to sign up on this site or do i just post things? BTW, I don’t like using my real name but just call me Raven… My name isn’t me, if you know what I mean…..
Is nightcore emo?

1. Just tell them the truth. 2. When they weren’t home and they ask you just tell them you made a sandwich while they were gone
I LOVE them!! They are such hotties!! But if I’m not emo
What are the chances of getting an emo boyfriend?
Hey Don’t hate me. Rachel here and there are 2 ways of telling your parents. 1. Just tell them you cut yourself.
Or whenever they aren’t home tell them u were making a sandwich and you accidentally cut yourself. It depends on wear you cut it first. Hope it helps. Rachel
Am I emo if I love emo guys?
Hell no! Being an emo is way of expressing yourself, not just loving other emo’s.
I hada feelin I was ,even my friends noticed I have cut myself .but I shrug it off they say I’m weird but idc I like being like this. I hate people who act like others these days . Even my mom went around telling pple that I was emo(still doesn’t know I cut myself)…she saw the cuts on my arm but I lied an told her my dog/and or cat did it… heh..the only reason I cut myself Is because I have a tendency to hurt my sisters when I’m extremely pissed off so I take it out on myself.I never answer ppl when they ask if I’m emo I find it annoying and tell the wat you see is what you get with me :/
I would like to know how 2 become emo because I started cutting myself n I can’t take my life anymore…I hate my life….people call me emo and a bitch and all I wana do is show those people that I can be emo n a bitch but I don’t know how to become emo please help me
I took the emo test & answered yes to all four & i said “OMG. I’m emo!? SINCE WHEN?! & i love “Ohio is for lovers” by Hawthorne Heights. U probably don’t care but ehhh…
