How do I know I'm emo?

Emo is short for emotional, so if your emo, your depressed and sad, and really in an emotional distress. but lately it's because madami of a trend and a style

and goth is a style and a lifestyle.

Stereotypically, emo is madami personal; it's madami about your emotions and the way you feel. Goth is madami about who you are and your interests (which are darker than most others' interests.) I could go as far as to say it's almost like romanticizing dark subjects and seeing beauty in what other people think is creepy or scary. But that's just the way I see it.

"Emo" is a trend and music style based around emotional feelings, both positive and negative contrary to popular belief, and a deeper outlook on every araw life and events. It's possible to be "emo" without constant sadness or even an over emotional outlook on life, and it's possible to have an emotional outlook on life and not be emo.

To me, it sounds madami like you're going through a blue funk or somewhat depressed stage than "emo".

Goth, on the other hand, is madami of a lifestyle and a set of interests, and also contrary to popular belief, is not the same thing as emo.
Goth means different things to several different people. Generally, it is a pag-ibig for things of a dark nature, things that are twisted, mysterious, and melancholy, and the act of twisting that pag-ibig in to your life. It is a mix of what is both romantic and tragic, the dark and the dreary. Being a bit of a Goth-at-heart myself, I'm inclined to say that things of a Gothic nature run much deeper than things of an emo origin.
I could go in to a lot of detail about what Goth is and isn't, but I don't really want to bore anyone.

I am not depressed, miserable yes, and bored, and pessimistic, and though I do not try to have any style in particular, just avoid colour because i don't like it and yet many people call me emo :( (it must be the hair, it is spiky on the back and I have hair all over my face :P) And I think it is stupid, because they have to label everyone according to trends and styles...You are emo if you want to be, I think I am not, so wearing only black, having 'emo hair' and looking like I am about to slit my wrists (a friend put it that way, a friend that knows how derpy I can be ) doesn't make me emo, (nor wearing a lot of eye-liner, I like eye-liner)...Since it has to do with emotions If you feel emo you don't have to follow the trend, and you can still be, while looking emo doesn't mean you are.

You know you're emo if you view Russian Cutaway Gag numerous ties a day.
