In most ways I suppose. I don't exactly have the look yet and I don't cut, but I like the music, I'm emotional, I love deep poetry (but I couldn't write it even if my life was threatened), I really want the look, I feel depressed half the time, and I actually care about the stuff I talk about.
*facepalm* emo is not a genre of music. It's a style of personality, clothing, emotions, actions. Music is just another aspect of it. It's like Perky and Goth aren't music genres.
"Emo is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk rock bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style." "Gothic rock (also referred to as goth rock or simply goth) is a musical subgenre of post-punk that formed during the late 1970s. Gothic rock bands grew from the strong ties they had to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk scenes. According to both Pitchfork[ and NME, protogoth bands are Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus and The Cure. The genre itself was defined as a separate movement from punk rock during the early 1980s largely due to the significant stylistic divergences of the movement; gothic rock, as opposed to punk, combines dark, often keyboard-heavy music...

Please do your research and stop being idiots and labeling yourself. You claim to be different yet you all who are dressing as "Emo" or "Goth" all look the same. Point proven.
