So, are there any benefies to being emo?

What's with being depressed because everything is unfair? That definitely isn't going to help anything. The world isn't going to be more fair if you're depressed. In fact, it only makes you more of a target to get picked on by the world. Who better to push around than the guy who's depressed, doesn't fight back, and accepts taking crap?

EMO :
An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.

This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!

When she sees how sensitive and emo I have become, she'll definately go out with me!

Bah, if only they had emo chicks in Oklahoma in 1998, maybe I woulda gotten lucky sooner. Of course, that's a terrible cycle to be in and I'm glad no one reinforced my behavior.

According to the example shown by the topic starter. And emo is someone who cries a lot, can't spell and can't even tell us what an Emo is because he saw it written on the back of a dumpster and thought it'd be cool if he called himself that.

I used to talk all that crap too, but then I walked a mile in their moccasin's*not girl pants* and I genuiely am more content living this way.

"what are the benefits of being emo?"
I talk alot about being humble, but at the same time I feel like i have a better understanding about life than the average person, do I act on those feelings though? no. When i hear others complain about what problems they have, 90% of the time I have it worse, but I do not feel like I need others to here my complaints. this suggests that I have a greater inner strength then they do. I know I didnt explain this to a full extent so those of you with a trigger happy 'quote' button finger feel free to chop it up and throw it in my face so I can clear up the inconsistencies for you.

How does that make you know more about life then the "Average Person". Does that mean when I spill icecream on my shirt I suddenly know more about the world because I have stuff worse then other people. That's some pretty bad philosy there.

It might just be the people you hang out with, but people normally don't tell you their problems by force. It's normally when they want to talk about it need help getting through it so they ask for help for you. YOu not telling anyone your problems doesn't make you "Stronger" it makes you bottle things up, and eventually cry them out listenign to simple plan.

You know they don't call Simple Plan "Emo Music" for fun. Emo stands for emotion not "ALL POWERFUL BEING OF KNOWLEDGE". Do YOU even know what an Emo is? Your more of a wannabe emo, with a sense of intelligence and by sense, I mean illusion of intelligence. And what's the point of continuing this topic, you should lock it right now your just going to say "UR WRONG, UR WRONG, I KNOW ABOUT LIFE, I FEEL BAD FOR YOU, SIMPLE PLAN SUCKS, UR JOKES SUCKS blahb lah blah"

So I suggest locking it from this point. I'll even give you the "Last Laugh".

You said earlier something to the affect of "the only reason you would say".. And I stopped reading.

The reason I hate this stupid fad so much is because you shouldn't feel this compulsive need to label yourself something if you're "being free to be yourself". Every person is unique, and people bend labels onto themselves even when parts don't fit because they want to feel like they're part of a group.

If you're "being yourself" you shouldn't fall into weak stereotypes and preprogrammed behavior patterns, you are submitting to pressure from the world to fit into neat compartmentalised groups. This is an illusionary self-freedom, while in truth it is only self-oppression.

dood wil, you have no idea how depressed i am reading this post. The biggest reason i came back to sen was because I wanted to talk to people that had a higher sense of humor, and debate with people that are level headed.
I think pretty much everyone here that bashes emo has backed up that statements pretty well, even though I am losing, its a breath of fresh air from the primitive arguements I had to deal with on the AS board(probably why im sucking here, ill get the hang of it though).
The depressing part is that my best memories are from when i was new. Wilhelm's rants and comments of randomness in op sen got me rolling on the floor laughing, even though most of the time I was just afking. You NEVER dummed down your humor, in an attempt to appeal to a broad amont of people(eg. over stating what you mean), I respect the hell out of that, probably because I always assume people are dum and wont get what I mean(so I look stupid to the only people I want to get my humor/idea). I can count how many real people I find truly funny on 1 hand. Wil i think ur my index finger
I assumed you were a hell of alot smarter then me when it came to social issues like this. but after hearing your simple anti-label reaction to my attempt at labels (which aren't hip to use, never%100 accurate, but very efficient) makes me think u've changed or were never as smart as I thought.

now THAT'S emo!

Ok, I think ur all overdue for my definition of emo, so now it really will be coming soon, but not in a way you might think.

how could i forget ATHF?
I just recently accepted the oblongs as good. Its awesome in a 'futurama' sort of style. When I really think about it, the one thing that sticks out of my memory is... well if I put it in words I'd be killing it. Just watch the episode where there is a drag race event reminiscent to Grease.

I take back everything I said, you have every right to be emo.
