Before i begin with my disucussion, i woud like to give you all my definition of "Emo".

Emo: Somebody who is goth/imitation goth, who slits their wrists, and who listens to a more grunge theme towards music, may also include some cases of suicide.

Anyways, a lot of people at my high school seem to be emo, and just the other day, one of my lifelong friends told me she had been going towards an emo theme. I am tired of this emo theme sweeping the nation. Why do people have to take out their anger towards themselves. Cutting yourself with a razor or whatever doesent make you any smarter. Whenever you scar yourself, pain doesent make pain go away. People should learn to take their emotions out in other ways, and besides, cutting yourself doesent get you anywhere in life. I also knew a couple of people, who suicided because they got so into the emo theme, and then just couldent stop it. Just because your boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with you, it doesent mean that you need to endyour life. Suicide has started to become an answer to people, but it is truely a short term answer to a long term problem. Personally, i dont think people should take out their anger because their angry.

I just would like to hear your thoughts and opinions.

I'm sure emo people killing other people is as good as them taking out the anger on themselves.

To be emo you don't have to go so far as to slit your wrists...

i say if you're retarded enough to be emo, then commence the suicides

[center]Emo is the dirtyest word I've heard in a long time. I have little, if any respect for 'emo' kids. "Oh, boo-hoo, my girlfriend dumped me, now I'm gonna write a song about it and cry all over the stage. Boo-hoo." Shut up. Get over it.

"I've been told emo songs are deep,
Which translates into really weak!
All they ever do is cry,
Did something get caught in their eyes?
I just can't understand it all,
Even I don't always bawl.. boohoohoo..
My girlfriend dumped me and I'm really really hurt..."[/center]

Emo people are kind of weird to tell you the truth, alot of them try and be completely different, but all they are doing is being exactly the same as all the rest of the emo people trying to be different.

I personally can't stand them, they fill the hallways, and are rather ugly. I'd much prefer people who are all super hardcore impossible fools like me.

Rock on, Rantent.

I'm not too big on Emos, I'm really not too big on anyone that has to adapt a theme into their personality.

[sub]Not too many here. (Kansas City, Missouri) Mabey 5-6 at most. Here it seems that preps are everywhere. I don't label myself, but if I had to, I would be a hippie, as they are who I hang out with.[/sub]

Fighting with an Emo is funny until someone get hurt...
Then... it's hilarious.

They're all the same person.

Go talk to maddox. You guys can make a super team of Emo killing, dog punting, old person hitting awsomeley outrageous pirates.

I don't create subcategories under the category Loser.

A friend of mine is really emo, but he doesn't have the balls to admit. That's how lame emo is.

What 'look' would you say emo people have?

I'm slightly worried that I look emo when I'm not.

If you're worried about looking emo than you probably look like a poser.

That's emo? Good god kid. What about the swoop, or the girls pants, or the power chords or the same drum pattern over and over? Emo to me is no more than a stage of music that never evolved into good.

There's just something kind of gay about emo guys. I'm not sure what it is... maybe their overexpressiveness. That look on dudes and the music makes me want to vomit.

On the other hand, there are some really hot emo girls. If only they'd stop being so full of angst.

I've no real problem with them cutting themselves, as long as it's totally private. I hate it when people go around and show people their wrists, or 'accidentally' reveal them.

Touché.

wow i think it's funny, someone in our school newspaper said this



i guess its a fashion now...

Sad thing is, emo is not the last thing we're gonna have to deal with. There is more to come........much more.

I have 1 goth friend who we all call gothic josh. I have 1 emo friend who doesn't have a nickname.
Emo kid is only an emo kid because he listens to emo music, wears tight clothes with bands on them, and is really skinny and doesn't eat much. He isn't the wrist slashing, crying emo kid.
Gothic Josh listens to Goth music, and dresses like a goth. He dyed his hair black, and wears funny looking goth garb. He occasionally wears black eye make-up, but no other make up. He isn't a wrist-slashing anti-conformist crying goth.

What really makes the emo kid an emo kid seems to be the music he listens to. Pretty much the same for Gothic Josh except for his crazy leather boots.

I think all of you just got stuck with the crappy emo kids and goths, while I got the best of each. I know 0 other goth or emo kids.

my school here in CA has NO emo freaks
some goths here and there and punkers

almost everyone is an athlete and a handful of them are geniuses(weird)
if some emo kid came to my school, i bet he/she would become normal in no time

Heh, I know the most goth person you'd ever meet. Well, two of the most goth people...

They are teh sex!
