Emo girl??

Why do some people accuse me of being an "EMO" especially online, when I'm not? I mostly dont fit the definition but it hurts my feelings when somebody calls me that for no reason. The insult isnt even fair. Heres the definition I found online (I'll put my comments in {}'s):

EMO KIDS - The term for the teenagers who listen emocore is emo kids. The society thinks about them as failures {nobody i know thinks I am a failure}; they are not strong enough to hide their emotions, they're sensitive, shy, introverted, and often quiet {I hide my emotions just fine usually, but I really am sensitive sometimes and definately shy but not introverted and not very quiet}. Usually, Emo kids like to express their feeling writing poems about their problems with depression {no but lately I have been depressed sometimes}, confusion {I am confused but no poems}, and anger {No anger here}; all because the world fails to understand them {well, NOBODY understands teens...except teens!}. Emo poetry uses a combination of any of: a highly emotional tone, stream of consciousness writing, a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme, references to the flesh, especially the heart, heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives, and concern over the mutability of time, love or both. Themes such as life is pain are common. You can check some 'emo poems' on our forum! {none of this is me}. Although life is already very hard for them {actually, I like my life, not hard really}, emo kids have to suffer for even more society prosecution because of their condition. The term 'emo' itself is used nowadays as an insult. Adressed to a person means they are 'overly emotional'. Emocore is compared with pop boy bands of 1990s. Critics cast the music as lacking any artistic merit and that the fashion is just ... a fashion used to drive girls attention {I dont listen to this music}. The ones who are emo not because they feel it, but because they like to be trendy are named 'posers'. A big percent of the current emo subculture is formed by posers. Emo subculture is acused that it is celebrating self-harm. As i've said before many fail to understand that those are only fake emos (rawrr you bastards, get away from here); actually i have no rights to judge them even if most of us suffer because of them.

    I don't know, maybe it's simply because your style of writing is different or what not.

    "Why would someone call ME a "EMO GIRL"???"
    Probably because you seem a bit obsessed with the whole scene!

    someone would call you an emo girl because you probably have that swishy hair thing that is creeping up on the entire populace (but if it's black, it's emo), you probably wear skinny jeans and listen to the whiney emo crap.
    On average people never make judgements on your actual personality, they make it on your looks. Only your closest friends will make actual comment on your personality, but you'll never be in the room to hear those. Oh yeah, I forgot, if you sport thick black penciled eyeliner and said whiney emo crap band shirt, then this will only further your emoness.

    Anyways, today so many turds are emo you could supply enough manure to fertilise a farm for a decade. Do you think each individual little turd has the exact same personality profile? Nope. But they're still turds.

    I may have slightly gone off topic.

    I say don't fall into the stereotype! Be strong about what you are and take a stand. Ignore the ignorant comments of people that don't know what they are talking about. Because Emo or not emo, you are a person and every person in this world deserves to be looked at as a person and treated like one. You have a personality that you adopt, not one that is adopted for you. I'm kind of dealing with the same thing. I'm 16 and Native American. But I look black. So Everyday and yes I mean every day i hear racist comments, most of the time they are jokes though, and get mistreated and misunderstood by the guy i wanna be with's family.

    So Be who you wanna be, because the only you in this world is you! Find a support system, and if people constantly harass you, calling you emo, stand your ground and said "I'm not an EMO girl!" and you would be shocked with the results. and if they continue, sometimes you just have to walk away, no matter how bad you want to fight or pull someone's head off!

    And for the record, I don't think your emo, I just think you are a teenager going thru life. They should try putting that in the dictionary...

    !The Real Definition Of Emo!
    1a. Black hair that is engineered to look messy and greasy (though not spiky enough to be "punk") and must cover at least 60% of the face. Note: Do not confuse this with a much broader range of stupid looking, messy on purpose hair, usually belonging to a scenester.
    1b. If the hair is not ridiculously greasy and/or black, the hair is preened in some ridiculously outdated and hideous style, that, again, must cover at least 60% of the face.
    2. Girl's jeans. My personal theory is that they wear these pants to accentuate their genitalia, but as we all know that emo fags never have any use for their genitalia
    3a. A very tight argyle sweater, even in the summer time.
    3b. A very tight T-shirt, maybe a girl's "babydoll" T-shirt, usually adorned with a picture of a band that is very hard to listen to.
    4. Extreme skinniness, not natural thinness, but more of an emaciated form, almost as if they are too sad to eat.
    5. An uncomfortable looking scarf, even in hot weather. Usually in some ironic, plaid or striped pattern.
    6. (Optional) Trite box-frame glasses, used to make said emo fag look intellectual. In many cases, these glasses are non-prescription. If in any event you discover that an emo fag you see is wearing glasses they do not need, it is policy to grab and destroy these, preferrably in front of him and his emo fag friends.
    7. Converse All-Star shoes, mainly black (and sometimes they will spend extra money to get the kind with black rubber), but some presistent emo fags will go out of their way to purchase this style of shoe in some garish pastel color off the Internet. They will 9 times out of 10 be in pristine condition (due to having 15 pairs), save for some Sharpie markings, usually some band name, or ridiculous lyrics.
    8. A black leather belt with some form of metal stud worn around the beltline, but stupidly enough not threaded through the belt loops.
    9. (Optional) Cliche tattoos/piercings, including a Cal Star (aka Nautical Star), lobe plugs (usually not ridiculously big like those body mod freakshows who don't like dealing with that pesky job market), barbed wire. Note: Some emo fags are too young to get piercings or tattoos, so they just tell everyone about what they're going to get. Sadly enough, this trend will have passed by the time they are old enough to get mutilated.
    10. Really bad taste.
