10 reasons winter is the most emo season of them all

It’s happening—we’re hitting the point of winter where probably most of us are ready for it to end. Yeah, the first snowfalls are cool, and it’s nice to not be baking in the sun, but this shit gets very old very fast.

To try to cheer you up a bit, we’ve put together a list of why winter is the most emo season. It’s here to remind you that even though it’s pretty bad, it’s pretty much our entire aesthetic. Now, bundle up and enjoy reading!

1. There are so many good songs about winter


“New Winter” by Hawthorne Heights, “If Winter Ends” by Bright Eyes, “Love Like Winter” by AFI, the list goes on. More recently, Gerard Way’s cover of “Hazy Shade Of Winter” is our fave. Spend some time making a playlist and jam out to forget how freezing it is outside.

2. It gets dark super early

We love the darkness, so it’s kind of fitting for us. We can lurk about in peace.

3. No one will judge your outfits

In the summer, when you’re rocking black skinny jeans and combat boots, you can sometimes get some looks (not that we care what anyone thinks). However, in the winter, this is what you’re supposed to wear.

4. There’s nothing to do but sulk


Summer is a bit too upbeat for us anyway, so sulking in our misery because it’s freezing is more our speed.

5. Your eyeliner won’t run


Arguably, the worst part about summer is having your full face of makeup melt off in the heat. In the winter, your makeup will not budge. Honestly, it might just freeze on.

6. All the summer tours are announced

And you can work to save your money to actually afford to go to at least some of them.

7. It’s too cold to do anything but binge-watch TV and movies

You can finally catch up on all of your shows because there’s no way you’re leaving your bed.

8. You can over accessorize

When it comes to accessories, more is more. We can layer on the beanies, fingerless gloves and basically any other accessory we can find. They do say you’re supposed to layer up, so that definitely applies to jewelry too.

9. You can be super moody on Valentine’s Day

On the surface, Valentine’s Day is the biggest anti-emo holiday ever. However, if you spend the whole time hating it and maybe indulging in a few things to show your distaste, it can be fun.

10. Everything is dead and dark


There’s no greenery. Winter basically has four colors—brown, black, white and gray. That’s almost our entire wardrobe, so it’s very suitable.

What do you think the most emo part of winter is? Sound off in the comments!
