5 Signs You're Still Emo Trash

Does that 2007 emo phase every truly end? Or are we all desperately clinging to it with our lives?

1. Most of your time is spent lounging in bed with the new issue of Kerrang!

We never truly grow out of our love for Kerrang, right?

Kerrang! Magazine has always been an essential for emo trash everywhere - especially for those that refuse to accept that 2007 is over! Besides, anything beats sitting around reading fanfiction all day.

2. Your entire wardrobe consists entirely of nothing but black

Despite denying that you're still full of internal darkness, your choice of clothing begs to differ! Maybe it's Gerard's fault. (You can forget it if you think I'm ever getting rid of my old MCR Merch.)

3. You still attempt Pete's weird salute in Sugar We're Goin' Down.

Just admit it - we've all tried to be Pete Wentz at some point.

But nothing beats attempting the famous 'Emo Salute' shown in the music video for Sugar We're Goin' Down. Maybe we're just not trying hard enough?

4. You're completely used to the strange looks from people passing by.

This has to be the worst thing ever. Maybe you've just got a new piercing done - or dyed your hair. Then all of a sudden, a group of popular kids walk by and give you the worst death stare known to humanity. But who cares? It's great to be different. Just flick your overgrown fringe at them and walk away smiling.

5. Your love for Hayley Williams / Gerard Way will never die. (Unlike MCR)

Lets face it. There's no escape from your teenage crush on those beautiful band members. But who would want to escape anyway? Emo isn't something you escape from, it's a lifestyle.

No matter what, you'll always have that slight bit of emo in your heart. It's just your choice on how badly it shows. Who knows? The guys at work might love hearing about your undying love for Jared Leto.
