People are acting differntly

Opinions will clash and unfortunately you can't do anything about that but one thing you can say to them when they bring up the "inferiority" of your music interests is, "That's why there are all types of music. You have a type you like and I have a type I like. Just because I listen to a certain style doesn't define my personal activities."

Or a simply easy solution is to ignore them and not feed to the fire that you care about the topic. I do agree to the above though in that if you are self harming yourself you should get help because it certainty doesn't make anything better, even if you feel it does.Have a beautiful day:)

Just over music? How immature and stupid of them! Pay them no mind, they're just hateful people. Ignore them, turn the music up and show them how unimportant their opinion is by not responding.
If they get too violent or cruel though, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself; tell someone in authority, a teacher or boss or someone. Don't suffer in silence if you can't handle it.

If you really care about them, conform and be unhappy about it. But if you want people to like you for who you truly are, listen to your music and be you. And remember what AngelM said, violence doesn't solve anything.

Emo? Many people think differently on emo. But just don't care them. Just be who you are. Never change for them. As AngleIM said "violence doesn't solve anything". So if they start picking you, just plug your ear phones in your ear and ignore the world. That's what i always do :) and for me, most of the people don't like me because of my taste of music too! (: But i don't care! They have to take me for who i am. Because i'm me. Just me. And i'll always be me.

Advice: they're stupid. Well, maybe not, but they are being close-minded. Look for people who aren't, or at least like-minded people. You can be yourself around them. Then the others won't matter as much, and you can travel in packs and hope they don't pick on you.
