wasn't fashion-conscious or sociable enough that i'd have been described as emo
(*shrug*)
On a serious note, I was an emo teen who grew out of it, ironically, as depression kicked in. I do wear a lot of black, but it's because it's very slimming, not because of the emo phase.
And I do make sure that I wear something colourful as well, like a bright, happy coloured tshirt or coloured underwear.
before that i just knew the music my parents listened to, mainly
i remember i brought my giger artbook to school once. very dumb do not do this it had a drawing of a farmer ma... well it was nsfw
...which is basically what I still do, with bovine trappings
Not helped by the fact I had a Starbucks frappachino at the station...
Oh God, I'm becoming a stereotype.
a turning point for me, musically
later I discovered metal, yadda yadda, yntkt
Otherwise, I probably would've just graduated straight through from pop-punk to whatever Pitchfork likes. I still listen to a fair bit of Pitchfork stuff, but I know not to listen to them a priori.

Yeah, my becoming a goth wasn't a big surprise. But I never did go through an emo phase, mostly because I didn't listen to anything besides classical for the longest time, and had few if any friends, none of whom belonged to any "emo clique"
that is one heck of an album title, i have to say
I think it's the same reason why people get a bit hostile at Pearl Jam these days, because they hear Eddie Vedder's voice and think of the dubious quality faux-grunge that popped up in their wake.
