Get an Emo appearance. Start with getting emo styled hair ; up until the mid-2000s, there was no real emo hairstyle. These days, "emo hair" usually refers to a particular layered haircut in which long bangs are swept and styled to one side usually held in place with mousse, hair gel, or pomade. The color is mainly their original but sometimes, emo hair is dyed black and sometimes features a bright highlight of blonde or other punky colors.

To get modern-day emo hair, start growing out your bangs but still getting clean-up cuts on the back of your neck. Pull the bangs over evenly across above your eyebrow and use mousse, hair gel, or pomade. If you're female, get layers in your hair on the sides.
To get modern styled makeup, start using liquid or pencil eyeliner . Don't be afraid to apply to the waterline, experimenting with this will only make you better.
Start wearing nail polish , black is usually a popular color among emos. Don't be afraid to wear different colors or mix them, either.
Consider getting piercings . Snake bites and septum rings are very common piercings among the emo community; if you are old enough, contemplate getting one of your fancies.

Vintage t-shirts and checked shirts : checked shirts match well with band t-shirts, especially if they are in black and white print. Wear emo bands t-shirts as Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, Sunny Day Real Estate, Armor For Sleep or American Football underneath.

Messenger bags to carry your notebooks and diary around; you never know when you may get a hit of inspiration. Emo is about being creative so don't hesitate to carry around a sketchbook or pencils in there, either.
Flat shoes such as converse or vans: any type of canvas slip-on shoes work well, too, and you can buy these from any budget shoe store. You do not have to buy them new. [3]

Accessories: keep an eye out for scarves, bandanas , stripy socks, wristbands/sweatbands, studded belts, safety pins/badges, and fingerless gloves. Stay away from anything fishnet/anything sporting dark patterns, or anything that looks even remotely like a razor-blade, emo is not dark, and by wearing something that looks like a razor-blade, you are only perpetuating unfair stereotypes.

Skinny jeans : buy several pairs of black, blue, and even multi-colored skinny jeans; you can even branch out into boot cut jeans. Anything that you are comfortable in will work best.
Jean cuffing is a common practice among emos and punks. It has been done in their scenes from the late 1970s to the early 80s. If you want to look the part, this is a must. Simply take the bottom of your pants leg and fold it upward once or twice. To pin-cuff, pull both sides after cuffing.

Make good friends with the hoodie . Nearly all emo styles involve in some way or another the good old-friend of the wardrobe: the hooded sweatshirt. It's possible to give that hoodie a distinctively emo flair, however, which doesn't need to take more than a little extra effort to pull off. Most emo hoodies will be black, sometimes featuring band patches or a small amount of white trim.
Cut a hole for your thumbs in the sleeves of your hoodies. Wear it with your thumbs sticking through to keep yourself warm in the winter months.

Know the subgenres of emo. Emo did not so much evolve but grew offshoots and subgenres instead. The original emocore sound is still around but as the decades went on, other bands who became part of the scene added and exchanged characteristics. That being said, if you're more into one emo style than another, it doesn't matter because it's still emo. Here are the subgenres of emo:

Emocore: short for emotive hardcore, the original style of emo which grew from the Washington D.C hardcore punk scene in the mid-80s with Rites of Spring and Embrace. Other bands followed suit such as Gray Matter and Fire Party, who was termed "the world's first female-fronted emo band". [14]

Post-emo indie rock/Midwest emo: emo was reinvented in the 90s, becoming more melodic and mixed with indie rock to create a softer sound. A perfect example of this sound is Sunny Day Real Estate's 1994 album Diary . Midwest emo was popular enough to form a small subculture surrounding the genre, and was more romantic than emo had ever been. [15]

Check out Sophie's Floorboard blog. You can download emo/screamo/hardcore albums from here, although you must remember that not everything is supposed to be free and if you can find either a physical copy of the files to buy you should.
Create accounts on Last.fm, SoundCloud , SoundClick, Bandcamp, Pandora, YouTube, and other music streaming sites to find more modern and lesser-known emo bands. Make sure that the bands are emo, though, by identifying their characteristics.
