Step 1
Determine if the length of your hair is conducive to a long or short hairstyle. Notice that most emo girls either have medium length hair or short hair above the shoulders.
#
Step 2
Decide on a new hair color; drastic change is best when it comes to emo styles so pick something that is in opposition to your current hairstyle. Visit your local hair care shop and pick up a drastically different color. Black and blond mixed are favorites of emo girls.
#
Step 3
Dye your hair or add a large section of highlights to a section of your hair to create a contrasting variation. Add the color to the front of the head as this is typical protocol for emo and scene kids. Black hair and blond bangs or vice versa is a popular choice for emo girls.
#
Step 4
Part your hair on the side just beyond the eyebrow and swoop the bangs over one eye to create the signature emo look. The point is to look sufficiently affected and sad so bangs add a bit of drama to an otherwise normal looking hairstyle. Layer your hair to create a romantic style; longer in the back and shorter in the front or longer in the front and short in the back are typical layering techniques used by emo girls.
Some say music is not a type of music. That it is more of a fashion and a way of feeling, hence the emotional. Just recently people have been considering emo to be a genre or music.. Taking back Sunday is one of the many bands people consider to be emo.

Close enough to punk and rock Emo is now know for it's more emotional state of mind. Instead of the anger hard-core way of expressing one-self , Emo (short for emotional) has taken a new tole on the twentith century of expressing yourself. From the music with strong emotion and feeling, unlike hard rock or this is more of an alternative way to let your feeling be known.Emo is not only a classification or a type of music it's also taken over the way one expresses themself by dressing. It includes the tighter fiting pants to the dyed-black or dark hair with it covering your face. The longer hair in front with the spikes in the back is also a more Emo- or emotional look to dressing.

Emo,yes it is short for emotional. But,there is more to emo then hair and looks. Emo is a state of mind. Most people,made them selves appear emo. While in reality,they have to much hope to be emo. Emo is much like goth. But,goth is Darker. Emo is more emotional,harder to fake. Yes,some emos cut themselves,but there is more than that. Emo is one of the hardest things,to explain. People hate emos,b/c they view us as suicidal,cry babies,or just week. That's NOT what emo is. Suicidal yes,at times. But,don't judge me for being emo. It's not what I chose to be. It's just what I am.
Another says....
I think emo is just another label,but my definition of it will be for real.Personally,i used to cut,but I stopped.Take it from me.It's hard to stop!I am bi,but I'm not afraid of it!People shouldn't judge us for what we do and who we are.Emo is a music genre,but also a state of mind.If you're emo,don't be afraid of it.It's just who you are!It's perfectly normal to have a sensitive side,although I'm sassy sometimes.I'm really sensitive when 90% of the time.I love being who I am,though I get bullied alot.I don't care.Well,in my opinion,emo is just how people describe over-sensitive people.I write tons of poetry,and I'm in middle school.I am not ashamed to say I like girls,ever since I was 9,I have liked girls.I can't help how I feel! But over the summer,I've changed a bit.I'm not AS sensitive,but I still am.I don't let people put me down.Emo is just about being sensitive and expressing how you feel about something.If you get suicidal thoughts,talk to someone,trust me!Don't make the mistake I did.I am a lot better off without blades.
