Emos

Post Reply New Topic

...Maybe so, but I just can't get past the whole My Chemical Romance thing. *shakes head* I can't see what is good about that band, I'm sorry. I just can't stand them. I would have probably got called emo in school these days, I used to get called goth but I wasn't. I did have dyed black (and occasionally red) hair, a long black coat, platform boots, etc - but it wasn't like gothy stuff. In my opinion. I dunno, I was just doing my own thing - the platform boots had more to do with being short and having lots of 6 foot tall friends... I have also cut myself, but that's a long time after school, and stopped when I was diagnosed, funnily enough.

Anyway, yeah - My Chemical Romance. Is that, like, a qualification to be an emo? Because I really can't think of a legitimate reason for them being so popular. I just don't get it at all. People get so annoyed when I call them overrated! It's lots of fun...

The whole emo fad just seems really, really stupid. Crappy music, crappy poetry, crappy clothes, I'm just so sick of the whole damn issue.

It's one thing entirely if you're a kid and just messing around, but I see emos at college all the time. I mean, we're adults.

In admittance, I am sometimes a little emo.

We all have a little emo inside of us. Right?

Y'know what's really bothered me about emo lately? How they romanticize death and suicide. I had a friend who drove his car in front of a train this year, leaving his wife and son alone and all of his friends filled with regret. Forgive me if I don't find anything romantic about death or killing yourself.

That sounds so, so wrong.

Ahh, it depends if they are any good on the inside.
A bad centered emo: stay away.
A good centered emo: mix if you will.

I don't if somone is emo, really. They are just people.

The Tickle-Me-Emos are my favorite.

annoying people who dress goth and cut them selves, yet make sure everyone sees because they are anoying attention whores, and then ruin rock music for an entire generation so whenever I turn on a radio I get annoying whining/screaming that makes me insane

Goths and emos are quite different, I don't like them all, but emos really make me sick. It's impossible to define is this a boy or a girl, they even dress the same and have the same haircuts! In my country, I mean... Anyway, I don't take them serious, just teenagers who have no problems and try to look like they really do. Pretending to be grown-ups?..

What exactly is an emo?

You will notice if an emo passes by

OK, I know what emo music is, but how does the emo character gets defined? I mean, you cannot just put a tag on someone based on his clothing. So what characteristics or personality traits makes you emo?

I've never had a wish to communicate with them. All I can say is that they cry a lot and neither boys look like men, nor girls look like women, so they probably feel like 10-year-old children
This impression keeps me far from them.

They go great along with waffles for breakfast.

Actually, with their style of dress the girls in their ultra-tight black skinny jeans don't go unnoticed to me. They purposefully try to look so cute and innocent yet at the same time so world-weary and self-defeating it makes me feel so happy and mushy on the inside. That and their reputation for rampant promiscuousness and widespread bisexuality in half-hearted attempts to destroy any trace of self-respect they might have. You want to try and talk to them but you feel as if it would be akin to raping an aids ridden puppy.

^lol random

You mean androgyny? Or something different?

I dress a bit androgynous myself, I wear make-up as well. And I dye my hair. I never felt like I could be classified as emo though. Where do you draw those lines? The definitions of all those subcultures are so blurred ; why would someone want a tag anyway? Just dress like you want and don't even think too much about how the world would label you... that's my philosophy regarding such subjects
