1.Dye your hair jet black, blonde or dark brown or a strip of blond hair. Emos have varieties of hair color and they wear it different ways to be different. Don't feel obligated to dye it black; it's cliche. If you dye your hair blond, then consider dyed fringes (bangs), tips, chunks, or even streaks. If you want black emo hair, then leave it black or consider having it cut into two layers and dye the top one a color and the bottom black (This looks great when you head bang). Having a different color on each hair layer is a very original look. This step is completely optional, since emos have a wide variety of hair colors.
2.Get your hair cut! Short emo hair is great, but there are some emos with long hair. Emos usually have one of their eyes covered with hair. Guys have it spiked in the back, but patted down in the front. Also, some girls have razor cut hair with bangs that are platinum blond and the rest black, or vice versa. If your parents totally disagree with letting you dye your hair and will never let you have it cut into a straggly choppy style then simple: All you do is wear your hair up in different ways. Two high bunches that are backcombed are good, or two low and loose bunches, Try a side Pony that is backcombed. Put ribbons and barrettes for an emo touch. For girls: a pony tail with two strands hanging where your side burns is emo. For guys: a bowler hat with those pirate type things are emo. For the "fringy" look without having to get a hair cut, just part your hair at the side. If your school very strict in hair styling, you may just let your hair dry or spike your hair with hair gel. Make your hair to be cool as you can.For very short hair for boys: make your fringe (bangs) longer than your hair. Its better to have your bangs touch your eye in one direction.(no need to cover your eye if you cant)
FASHION
1.Consider shopping for girl skinny jeans if you can't find any in the guys section. The most popular emo skinny jeans are worn in dark-blue or black denim.

3.Wear emo shoes. Vans and high top Converse are hot, and don't forget the neon green laces! Many girls wear flats and guys wear high tops. The more recent hot emo shoes are "Bogos." They're available at Payless Shoe Source.
4.Wear random barrettes and headbands for girls - they just scream emo, especially ones with bows.
5.Paint your nails with black or neon nail polish. It doesn't matter whether you're a girl or not.
6.Wear studded belts, as they are an absolute must.
7.Wear hoodies of any kind, but ones of thinner fabric or more artistic/darker designs work the best.
8.Find cool shirts like band shirts or shirts with interesting designs. Try to get some super random shirts, like ones with dinosaurus, robots and old cartoons.
9.Listen to emo bands, like Moss Icon, Indian Summers, Amanda Woodward, Toru Okada, City of Caterpillar, Mineral and I Hate Myself. Also, learn that Senses Fail, Silversun Pickups, Dashboard Confessional, Hawthorne Heights, The Get Up Kids, Backslap, The Used, Mayday Parade, sickpuppies With Honor, Flirting With Suicide are not emo bands, they are mostly pop-punk/pop-rock bands mis-labeled as emo. Don't forget classic emo bands like Fugazi, Rites Of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, and others. If the band refused the title of emo, it doesn't really matter, a lot of emo bands take the title of punk and hardcore. Many bands consider it an insult for little known reasons, the important part is the sound.
10.Get The Emo Attitude. Try not to be too sensitive. That's too "poserish." However, do cry if something is too sad like a break-up, divorce or death. Break-ups can be with a boyfriend or girlfriend or even with a friend. Care about other people. Emo's are in touch with their emotions and, because of this, are great people to talk to when you are feeling down.
TIPSWARNING!!!
-People may hate you.
-People or even other emos will think you're a poser, or "Wemo" (Wannabe emo).
-You don't have to cut yourself to be emo. You may see emos cutting but that's because some emos are suicidal and don't believe they have a problem.
-If you cut yourself, try to get help and talk to someone don't cut yourself its not emo this will cause people to think that you're a poser.

-Be very sarcastic and talk in low quiet voices.
-Do not label yourself as emo all the time! Never say you're emo/scene. People will think you're a poser.
-Be what you want to be but don't think being emo means being depressed and lonely - it's about being yourself!
-You may be made fun of or laughed at a lot behind your back.
-A lot of posers cut themselves. If you do cut yourself, get help. Seriously.
