The "Emo" Thing

Borneo Fnctn

What's with the Emo kids? They seem to think the world owes them something!

They go about in pity for themselves.

They dress up like Edward Scissorhands to provoke a reaction. Then they complain about the way people react

They want to be "individuals" but they all look the same to me.

For the most part their problems are trivial but they act as if they've seen things that would make grown men cry.

What do you think?

does everybody not think the world owes them something ??

if all i had to do was worry about emo's i'd be happy man !

It's disturbing. That said they aren't really doing much harm to anyone so let them be.

Why should what one person wear/listens to/look like/act annoy you? Its a low as racism and your Obviously not willing to accept change.

I don't find either of them HOT, 2nd one is decent, also don't like the ridiculous pouting face of the first one, or the deer in the headlights look of the second.

Their facial expressions make them both look more like lolcats to me...

maybe that's the future of the internet..... emokid pics with lolcat speech on them?

They got help, and it helped them to succeed... doesn't mean they were owed it though...

Creamy Goodness

why do people care so much about what other people look like, dress like, taste in music etc etc.

fairly ****ing shallow to look down on a person because of their appearance and tastes.

i thought most people were owed an education, food, a roof/bed/shelter and clothes ... it just depends how much of this stuff you think you are owed .. emo's don't strike me as being particularly greedy

What do you think?

I think you have no idea what you're talking about.

Why do you think that Emos "think the world owes them something" do you have any proof of this?

The vast majority of "emos" are normal, happy people who don't "go around in pity for themselves"

Do you really think that emo kids "dress like Edward Scissor Hands" to provoke a reaction? That's silly, they dress for the reasons most other people dress the way they do; because they like that style.

How can you speculate that they're trying to be "individual"? Sounds like you're just spouting the same old anti-emo tripe that's so fashionable these days.

"For the most part their problems are trivial but they act as if they've seen things that would make grown men cry."

How many emos do you *actually* know? as I said, the most of them are happy, well adjusted people with plenty of friends. If they had "real" problems in their life they'd probably grow up to be knackers.

Try actually talking to someone you think is emo, if you ask about their style they'll reply "because I think it looks nice" fair play to them for having style at least.

i suppose but everyone gets it from somebody. i got my haircut there about a month ago ( heartbreaken stuff) but you would walk down the road and hear

" get your hair cut you hippie" or " doirty smelly rocker go listen to korn,korn on the cob"

but just give as much as ya get and itl be grand.

you were doing ok there until you mentioned the killers.


emo stands for emotional generally used to describe a music genre, but due to the music press' laziness and general ****-headedness they label the wrong band with the label emo, it's also use to describe people who listen to the said music.

generally the people that are being described in this thread are the media's definition of emo.

for more information on emo music check here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo_%28music%29

this link has information to what is a good indication of what is emo music pay attention to the "third wave" entry, it's where most of the media's emo is.

like most appearances people take it way to far, emo is no exception either is skangerism

Haha! my god.. Well with your little immature rant I would guess you 15-16 unless you beg to differ?

Im 17 nearly 18. And when I say semi emo I mean I have the hair, I like the music but I dont go saying on like myspace etc. "I like to slit my wrists", "Im soooo depressed" basicly attention seeking and I dont wear make-up what ever ye think fits stereo-typical b/s!

to "thelastangryman"
Im sorry to say your the ****ing weird one. Most of ye are probably going by the stereo-typical view on emos and not actually kno any one who i emo!

Also if people that are taking the piss out of a trend are above the age of 18-19 ye have alot of grown up to do!


How about we rant on metal now! jeez I havent seen anything newly creative in metal since I was 2. how about a shower now and again. maybe shave a little.. Pfft.. stereo-typical. And I actually love metal so Im taking the stereo-typical piss!

Now how about rap. Actually Im not gonna be a stupid as most of the people out there.

But ye can see where I am going!

I wish I was teenaged again so that I could go (be?) emo.

Well I'm older than you are I'll tell you that much.

By the way, you don't come across very mature when you say " Im 17 nearly 18". I suppose you're 17 and 3/4. Nearly there!:D

^Well in all fairness grow up and accept change and act your age!

I loved Rod Hull and Emu.

I agree with Cremo, who the fvck cares about them! Jayzus, everybody here is acting like earth was just a place were you train to hate emo's! Me, I'm not a fun of them either but if you openly say you hate the craters then your just being outspoken a little bit don't you agree?

I'd do the whole emo thing if black suited me, but it doesn't, and my hair's curly so that's that right out.

This is what emo is all about

Isn't emo something that has always been around.
in other words 'just being a stereotypical angst-ridden disaffected teenager listening to angst-ridden music and being disillusioned with the world'. Or can someone tell me what more there is to it.
The above description is not necessarily meant to be a criticism BTW.

I'm just wondering is there any major difference between emo and e.g the grunge or goth movements. These could be described as emotional/disaffected/alienated and poetic as well couldn't they. How is emo distinct from this. Less angry maybe?
Or could emo be a kind of catch-all type description for this stuff.
