I bet they sell lots of tissues there, and have a support group in every house.:p

They're kinda like the goth kids of about ten or fifteen years ago, but instead of bitching about how horrible society is and that life is full of misery and pain or what-not, they complain about no-one understanding them and their complex individuality which they assert by joining in the latest fad.

The goths had cooler clothes though

Goth music was a hell of a lot better as well... Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, that sort of thing.

deemy · 17-01-2008 07:33PM

Someone correct me here but I'm sure I heard once that the original emos were cure fans. This can't be true surley. How can you put the likes of The Cure and My chemical romance in the same category. The first time I heard My C R I thought it was busted. seriously. They are so sh**te

"You scored as a Goth"

I agree with Karl - 80's/90's goth music is so much better than emo pop crap.

Lockstep · 17-01-2008 07:37PM

I scored Rocker 45%.

I'm so hardcore, I dont fit into any of their categories:rolleyes:
Despite that, I scored 0% for emo.

Goth kids are cool though.

Nononono
I will not be in your talent show.

I respect actual gothic music, I think it can be very moving.

Whiny pseudo goth rubbish just annoys me.
Especially the kids who claim Green Day is goth.
Oh and the obligatory Dimmu Borgir reference so as to score cool Satan Points

Nightwish · 17-01-2008 07:50PM

You cant deny that Dimmu Borgir are a fcking excellent band.

I never got into them TBH.
No problem with them, just not for me.

I just find the idea of liking them for shock value a bit silly.

What Group Are You? What Group Are You? Chav, Rocker, Skater, Emo, Goth, Trendy, Prepy Ect
You scored as a Prepy
You Are a preppy
Prepy 50%
Rocker, Mosher 35%
Chav, Townie, Rude Boy, Ned, Kev 30%
Goth 25%
Trendy 20%
Emo 15%
Skater 10%

:rolleyes:

Reku · 17-01-2008 09:22PM

I scored mostly goth, no surprise there since I mostly wear black, but to be honest I don't go in for the pale make-up & no intention of dying my hair black either.

Goth - 45%
Prepy - 20%
Rocker, Mosher - 20%
Chav, Townie, Rude Boy, Ned, Kev - 15%
Skater - 10%
Emo - 0%
Trendy - 0%

Clearly the quiz author falls under whatever catagory has the worst maths skills:
45% + 20% + 20% + 15% + 10% = 110%
Guess I must just be that complicated that a simple 100% analogy can't explain me sufficiently! lol

Davidius · 17-01-2008 09:52PM

Preppy - 25%
Goth - 15%
Rocker/Mosher - 10%

Everything else is 0%. I don't know what Preppy is and I'm not exactly clear on what a goth is either. The last one doesn't make sense though, I don't even listen to music.

With that said the quiz confused me. Yes or No answers with 5 choices and it kept making reference to things I've never even heared of.

On topic, has somebody said 'Emu' yet? Well if they haven't: Emu.

Toots · 17-01-2008 10:01PM

I was equal Preppy, Trendy & Goth 45%. I thought the term 'Emo' came from Emotive Rock (the sh*te a lot of these kids listen to:rolleyes:)

17-01-2008 11:37PM

A friend of mine in the US used to take photos in "emo poses." So when I was in Abbeyfeale I snapped a photo of the Emo petrol station there and e-mailed it to her, she thought it was gas (no pun intended). She pasted it on to one of her school books!

Da Bomber · 17-01-2008 11:44PM

I like MCR and i scored 10% for emo so its a load of stereotypin bollix if ya ask me.

Think my top was Trendy 55%.

+1. One of the best examples of Black Metal out there. I do recall a recent enough thread in the music forum where myself, Mr Hungus and a few others tried to convince the masses of Dimmu's brilliance.

I'm going to assume form your response that you enjoy The X Factor.

DSB · 18-01-2008 03:31AM

Seriously shocked by this thread. A thread with over 52 posts basically consisting of slagging 14/15 (actually mainly younger) kids. Are people really that sad? Grow up.

dr.bollocko · 18-01-2008 03:48AM

OOooooooooooooooOOOOOoooOOOOOHHHH!!!!

DSB is Captain Nemo of the Emo, guardian of the Emo cause, hider of razor blades, consulting expert in hair advice, and advanced in the knowledge of spelling longwinded synonyms for depression such as:
abasement, abjection, abjectness, bleakness, blowout, blues, bummer, cheerlessness, dejection, desolation, desperation, despondency, disconsolation, discouragement, dispiritedness, distress, dole, dolefulness, dolor, downheartedness, dreariness, dullness, dumps, ennui, gloom, gloominess, heavyheartedness, hopelessness, lowness, lugubriosity, melancholia, melancholy, misery, mortification, qualm, sadness, sorrow, trouble, unhappiness, woefulness

He is like the pied piper of emo Hamlyn, except instead of a pipe he has blond hair, tight black jeans and a trendy PRS guitar with the word LUGUBRIOUS scratched into the fretboard. Also the guitar only has 5 strings. Also its not plugged into anything.
Also, his pants just fell down.

DSB · 18-01-2008 03:54AM

Haha how old are you?

dr.bollocko · 18-01-2008 04:02AM

Why is everyone so interested in my age? I'm old enough to play the fat delivery guy / bus driver in futurama. And that was years ago. And I was a smoker then, so Im hardly likely to be much younger than, what, 46 by now? Except that I know the names of young people bands. Im that one old guy with no friends and strange google eyes who always puts on Metallica in rock bars and headbangs madly with his pint in his hand who stares at you funny if you have the misfortune to actually touch him.

Actually what is with that? There is always one old crazy guy....

DSB · 18-01-2008 04:03AM

dr.bollocko · 18-01-2008 04:05AM

What is that? Some kind of three eyed no mouth misery emo smiley?
Well I'm ... too.
Or does it mean My chemical romance in braille?
