Emo: What do you consider it to be?

Nah.
Scienceblows

"It's the greatest cultural fraud perpetrated upon mankind, and it looks like this:

"But Maddox, how did you get a picture of that distinctive looking store from my mall?" Surprised? That's because every Hollister store is exactly the same:

The store is made to look unique when it's not, so what you think you're seeing is a clothing store, but what you're actually seeing is a lie. Every store has the same fake facade with the same fake plants out front, with the same fake terracotta roof, and every store plays the same pop/punk/emo soundtrack. Everything in this store is engineered to create a fake image, right down to the way the store smells. Think that crap cologne you smell when you walk by the store is an accident? Some marketing guy was paid top dollar to make you have an involuntary brand association every time you smell that scent."

-Maddox, "The Great Page in the Universe"

blood scribe r u emo not meaning to offend or anything just wonderingevilpinecone

He's a metalhead,didn't you read his one post?...

And No. Owens does not deserve MVP.

I think we all know where that came from.

If you're going to quote maddox, then at least give him some credit. Don't go off and change anything referring to him in his own article to sound clever.

I knew to came from Maddox. I didn't link it because another guy made a thread linking to the "The Greatest Page In The Universe" and thread got deleted/locked. My moderation history is already ****in' bad enough.

To tell you the truth I didn't want to make it super obvious. But, if it makes you feel better, I edited to a more original format so that I don't hurt you feelings. And I promise to never quote Maddox's webpage again. Happy now?

I wasn't unhappy in the first place. I just wanted to know why you acted like Maddox's article was your own material, because I just don't respect plagiarism.

Okay. I'll just cite "Maddox" in the post and let's leave it at that since we're getting kinda off-topic.

An emo is someone who is depressed, wears a lot of black, wears tight jeans (I'm not saying everyone who wears tight jeans is emo), and cuts themselves. BTW I do not hate emos. If I can help them in any way I want to.

Also, didn't they used to be called "gothic"?

No, goth and emo are two different things, but people often get them confused. Goth is just another social label branded on people who wear dark clothing, wheras emo is a sub-genre of rock that came from the 80s. Either way, both are taken as labels with no definite material to either of them, because most of the time it's spewed from ignorant high school students that don't bother to find out more about a person they don't understand. Either way you look at it, people take both the wrong way, and no one really knows what they are about.

Well, there's what emo actually is, and then there's the emo that everyone calls bands like AFI or MCR. Which one do you want?Fortier

AFI sold out and actually is somewhat emo though not in the traditional sense of Fugazi or something like that. MCR sucks ****, but is alternative.

I associated emo with the Used, Bullet For my Valentine etc. Because I consider bands like Fugazi punk not emo.

All you people make me sick. Most of you don't even know what Emo is, yet you bash it. Human society is full of idiots... I'll be glad to leave you all today. Goodbye Gamespot idiots. And quit considering your crap as facts. One day someone will punch you in the face for doing that.-Kirbyangel-

Don't take posts here too hardly, I usually just ignore them. There are good posters here as well. The people who bash others are either immature or have social issues and take out their hate on the internet.

No one knows for sure, it's just a label for someone who wears excessively black clothing and sometimes black eyeliner. That's about the best answer I've found.

i think it's just another stupid label so people have another category to place people in

1. When I say that emos weare a lot of black that is true for most of them.

2. When I say that emos cut themselves most of them do. (As you know)

3. When I say that emos are depressed that is true. In fact most teenagers are depressed. You yourself said that life "sucks".

Remember, I am on your friends list.

(no offense intended, this is just my opinion)

My idea of emo is children that refuse to grow up and face the world. Children with WAY too much time on their hands, and have the inability to open their eyes and see that their life, in comparison to the rest of this screwed up world, is very good. They wallow in their own "depression" and cut for attention. They all seem to think that they're "original" yet they still fall into this increasingly growing trend of 'emo.' Just my opinion.

As am I. Which is wierd considering I can't check her profile when it's private (If you don't believe me, check my friend list).

But, anyway, KB I want you to give me a decent sized summary on why you believe emo kids are misunderstood, do not fit into the above stereotypes, and contribute relatively as much to society as other humans.
