How to Look Emo

What it means to dress emo...
Steps

1. 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'.
2. Actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very Emo too.
3. Clunky black shoes and odd colored scarves.
4. Horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.
5. Bald head, furry face (boys only), goes especially well with horn-rims.
6. Heavy slacks, often too tight and short.
7. Thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children's size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you've got one.
8. 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.
9. Also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat.
10. Barrettes on boys
11. Make-up (male or female).
12. Too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters.
13. Anorexic thinness. Vegan-ism helps here.
