Emo's protest in London

Recently I made a thread about a girl in Romania who committed suicide, http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26392388
and the agency that did the intial report on the story had made it seem like it was due to a "cult acceptance ritual", or something to that effect, that had cause the poor young 13 yr old to take her own life rather than othermore dramtic life issues. Contraversy over that exact same issue was evident in my thread and I believe that is why it is now locked, but the contraversy wasn't only online.

Apparently, the contraversial issue had spread around the Emo community worldwide, I assuming, and now a protest is set for a date in London. Whether the protest was already planned and the reporting fueled it even more, or the report itself brought about the rally, I dont know, but it seems to be a growing issue.

I'm not in the scene, but I do think it's wrong to base the death of this young kid as a result of the type of music she listened to etc. Anyone else?

is this the same people that did a protest in mexico?

pritty funny stuff :)

Wow, that's stupid. At least groups like hippies stand for something, what do emos stand for that is worth protesting for?yabbicoke

its stupid, imagine how many rock fans are in this world this doesnt mean that they are suicidal human beings or that this emo fashion bustles about killing yourself Link 1

I will never understand why so many people care about so many different things. Protests, riots and fights over things like styles, sports, movies, etc. I've never been so passionate about something that i would do anything like this if someone insulted it.FrostyPhantasm

It's human nature to find reasons to exclude ourselves from the normal population and categorise outselves into groups.

[QUOTE="SunofVich"]That protest group would be the easiet to break up. Just throw them razors.Bio_Spark

This is a quality post. Heartless though it may be, I laughed.

I thought it was hilarious, that was epic win in my opinion. :lol:

Well then as the rule of nature is, the weakest link must go

Do you know what I wanna protest? People who judge other people as losers just because someone refers to them as an "emo". I judge people on a person to person basis, I hate stereotyping.

And by calling "emos" names or saying they're stupid; how do you think that makes them feel? Probably like being more "emo".

OH HAI! You missed the point!

The press constantly misrepresents situations and tries to dramatize them. But I doubt teenagers who follow and commit to social fads would be able to realize this due their obvious naivity. GettingTired

I'm certainly not emo, but I can tell that the emo generation is not a "cult". You can't just blame someone who commited suicide just because she was emo or listened to emo tunes. She was probably depressed because of something and thought she couldn't take life anymore. Unfortunately, people hate emos so much anything will do when it comes to mocking them to death.

oh yes, because we must feel pity for suburbanite white kids crying because they're girlfriend left them or because they're mommy won't let them play playstation or nintendo. because, instead of moving on with their lives and attempting to make things better for themselves (because they are in such "a crummy mood") they instead decide to whine and moan and complain on their lazy asses trying to garner as much attention from people who HAVE moved on so that they can feel justified in moping around all day like jerks. Thats why people don't like Emos. it sure as hell is why i dont.

They should all committe mass suicide,nobody cares about emos and their crappy culture and music.LordoftheVacas

They're obviously grabbing people's attention, which means they're accomplishing what they want to. You're helping the ones you hate :)

Yeah I remember reading a story on how metalheads were going around beating up emos.

Recently I made a thread about a girl in Romania who committed suicide

I read in the newspaper today that two more emos did it, and other two tried to:|

I like how they're unique, but they act like a herd.

Why are they protesting exactly?Jazz_Fan

Yea, I'd like to know whether the protest was already planned and the reporting fueled it even more, or the report itself brought about the rally, I dont know, but it seems to be a growing issue.

Why are they protesting exactly?Jazz_Fan

"What do we want?"

"For people to accept that certain types of music don't necessarily promote teenage suicides as deep and meaningful!"

"When do we want it?"

":cry:"

Why does anyone listen to the daily mail? It's a terrible paper...
