I used to get called emo in high school, and I had rose-tinted glasses.

Like, literally my glasses were tinted pink. And "rose-tinted glasses" is an idiom that means you see the world as a happy shiny place.

It was pretty rare for me to get called emo, though. Mostly they called me "Hippie" or "John Lennon". Yeah, weird story with that last one.
