emo

That's a very good article. Quite accurate in my opinion.

The internet and real life are very different places, and people may say things on one level that they would not on another.

I self-harm, and I admit it here. How many people know it? I don't know, but at least a few. I've posted about it in threads that ask about self-harming. I don't do it for attention because quite frankly, I don't care if you know, and I don't care what you think about it. I share it on here because there are people who understand. I am no better than them, and I don't presume to be. However, it's nice to know that I am not the only one, and they are not alone in it either.

How many people know in real life? None. Because I don't want them to know, and I don't want the attention. You have no idea how nervous it makes me to change in the locker room because that's the only time my cuts are visible. I have lies ready in case anyone ever notices.

If you don't want to hear about it, then fine. I don't give a damn. Don't read it, turn away, whatever. But don't you dare go around telling us what we can and cannot post, especially when you're posting your intolerance here. You don't get the final word.

I don't care who knows it on here. I talk about it because it usually makes me feel a bit better and connection is important at times. I don't want anyone in real life to know about it. So there's your f***ing answer.

I used to self-harm, but it was never for attention. I only ever did it whilst alone in my room and under the influence of alcohol. I did it because I was at a point where I couldn't feel anything anymore and I wanted to feel something, even if it was pain. I never told anybody about it, so I can't see how it could've been attention seeking.

I hate them. With their f*****g hair cuts.

Sorry, but all of them in my school dislike me and think I'm weird, queer, and a f**ktard.

I balance it all out by holding a grudge against those who hold a grudge against me.

Those emos with their hair in their eyes as they give me "evils" and blank "f**k off" attitude looks.



Thats more of a rant than an opinion.

Emos are as conformist as anyone else. They're the idiots who've given up on any real goal and have chosen to roll around in self pity.

I had someone call me emo once. I don't know if they were saying I was overemotional or that I was part of that group. Whichever, I disagree.
I was playing Flaming Lip's Yoshimi battles the Pink Robots and I learned the Genre was "emo". What is emo music exactly? Aside from apparently Flaming Lips, I've never heard "emo" music. Overemotional?
All music is emotion. Even a great metal song stimulates emotion: the type of emotion that makes you want to headbang.

I had hair in my eyes for a while. I was growing my hair out and it kept falling in front of my eyes, so I just gave up moving it until I could get it behind my ears.

I think it's funny that they call it "emo music" since it's absolutely devoid of emotion. No artistic direction, no beautifully-written lyrics, no tear-jerking guitar solos with wicked bends, no piano backing, just random wankery and mediocre musicianship. Unless you count being annoyed as an emotion, then there's no emotion in emo music.

That was uncalled for,why do you say that?

your confusing power with emotion

what 'emo' bands play is basically pop punk and the only thing that i have noticed that links the music is the vocal style, i think what is meant to make emo it is the lyrical themes and attitude, but i could be totally wrong cus i dont listen to it
apparently the original emo music was a kind of post hardcore that was completely unrelated to what is now called emo

sorry RTSgamerFTW i sent you a pm

I think it's time you got over it. We get that you hate them, their lives, their lifestyles, their music and everything they stand for. Shhh time now.

there are some emos around here for sure.
boo hoo hoo im leaving the forum
no im back now.

/wrist

These comments make me feel very sad.

Edit: I feel like saying more. It's pretty f*****g pathetic that one would go and mock people who are depressed.

Indeed.

i consider it pathetic that the style seems centered around the stupid ida that being depressed is cool


i feel the need to post that due to 3 suicides and a murder ive heard some media outlets refer to emo as a cult

Just because you're not emo doesn't mean you're not depressed. I'm depressed all the time but I don't dress any differently because of it. If anything you should be mad at emos for giving real depressed people a bad name.
