Couple of days ago I visited my favorite dress up site and found couple of interesting games my Emo friends would probably like. Dress up emos is a pretty cool page with a list of fashion games for Emo / Punk and Gothic people. I Hope you will like it.
Just about everyone knows what an emo is which stands for emotional and if you don’t know what they look like they are the people who you see you have a piercing through their mouth, a black side fringe and they look a lot like a punk. Are you an emo? Well take the emo test!
1. Do you have black hair?
2. Are you a male with a side fringe?
3. Do you have piercing in your tongue?
4. Or a piercing through your mouth?
5. Do you wear a black leather belt with studs?
6. Do you wear tight black jeans?
7. Do you put on white and black makeup?
8. Do you ever think about committing suicide?
9. Even worse have you tried committing suicide?
10. Do you wear chucks (converse) shoes or shoes similar?
11. Do you listen to emo music?
12. Are you always depressed?
If you answered ‘yes’ to more than 5 questions you fit into the emo stereotype and if you answered ‘yes’ to more than 10 questions then go seek help!
Also some people may say to others I’m feeling emo and this means that they are feeling depressed and this is like how an emo feels.
Emos are best well known for their fashion and many emos have been in the news recently after committing suicide.
Emo is also a new music genre that emos listen to it and it sometimes includes words like suicide, kill, die, black and white, etc.

Emo boys often sport shaggy locks, although for males less emphasis is placed on dying the hair black. Men tend to wear too-small t-shirts and baggy pants, often with a studded black belt. The same preference for thrift goods applies, and jewelry still tends to be all-natural and as tight as is possible.
Girls and boys alike wear thick or horn-rimmed glasses and often carry backpacks or messenger bags littered with pins from assorted emo bands or bearing anti-establishment, pro-underground slogans. Emo dress tends to follow lines of nonconformity almost without exception, but individual styles may vary as long as they continue to emphasize secondhand goods or a general expression of indifference toward current fashion trends.
the Emo Romulan look - short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and cut high over the ears. Someone from Time In Malta recently described to me the San Diego Crimson Curse scene as “Spock Rock.”
actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.
horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.
bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.
heavy slacks, often too tight and short.
thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children’s size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.
clunky black shoes
scarves
gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it’s no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.
also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat
barrettes on boys
make-up (male or female)
too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters
argyle
anorexic thinness. Veganism helps here.
Like all fashion waves, emo fashion has hardcore fans that proclaim that Emo is not just a style of clothes and hair, it’s a way of life! It’s up to you whether you hold this to be true.

The only thing you need to do to feel a part of the emo trend is know what clothes to buy, what shoes to wear and how to style your hair. This article contains only fashion tips about emo clothes, accessories and shoes.
Emotional-punk music evolved out of the punk movement spreading throughout the United States in the 1990s. Both emo and traditional punk music share the high energy level characteristic of punk and post-punk material.
Emo differs from traditional punk in that an extreme emphasis is placed on raw emotion, which is conveyed through heartbroken and sometimes angry lyrics and through emotionally-charged chord progressions and high-energy beats. The music is designed to be highly dramatic, taking the listener through a series of powerful ups and downs with constant lyrical reminders of the heartbreak and pain the music is meant to reflect. Harmony is used more so in emo than in punk music, particularly to accent certain words and concepts, and emo music on the whole tends to emphasize melody and lyricism, certainly more so than does traditional punk music, which is designed to anger and move to action rather than depress or emphasize vulnerability.
Perhaps the most distinct difference between emo and traditional punk music is the former’s repeated use of loud-soft contrasts, reflective of the singer’s mood changes between heartbreak, anger and confusion. Before emo, almost all punk music held a steady volume perpetuated by rhythm guitar. Emo often cuts the rhythm guitar suddenly, opting for a more intimate organ, bells or other softer, more contemplation-provoking type of sound.
Emo fashion is characterized as distinctly non-fashionable, keeping with the movement’s theme of showing little to no interest in all aspects of society. Emo individuals perceive themselves to be outcasts and dress accordingly so as to avoid any appearance of attempting conformity and falling short.
Girls tend to have short, dyed-black hair with the bangs cut straight across, usually done by the individual herself or by a friend, shunning the processed, rubber-stamped appearance of mainstream hairstyles. Jewelry, including facial and other body piercings, is quite common and is kept as natural as is possible - wooden and hemp accessories are extremely popular, and are, again, often homemade. Clothes follow suit, ranging from thrift store finds to handsewn skirts and shirts, often comprised of multiple fabrics combined into one article of clothing. Vintage articles are trendy for members of the emo subculture, including 1970s-style shoes and jackets.
