I was playing with my cousin, she wears black and red. People call her gothic and emo.

As stated before, people often associate black with darkness... sometimes even depression. It's a very common stereotype to have depression linked with emo's, when in reality it's not true. I was once friends with an emo and I actually mistook her for goth since she said something about not being emo (when really she was) and I assumed she was something else.

If your cousin wears black mixed with white, blue, or green, (not-surprisingly) people are still going to call her "emo". Real gothics have their clothing lined in grayscale (black, gray, white, nothing else). Emo's tend to wear a lot of different "colorful" styles, but black is always thrown in somewhere.

But she hates that!

Of course she hates being called something she's not. What if I called you a hacker because your avatar was glitched? Are you? There's an extremely rare chance you are, but ultimately you aren't.

Wow, I just realized that post was in February.
