OMFG! I just found out my sister is emo!

How do you not notice your sister's emo? Emo's really about the way they dress, and don't say blah blah i'm stereotyping, because all emos dress the same. It's just a stupid clique. madcapper248

It does NOT have to be the way they dress...Crap, my friend is emo.. She tried to kill herself 3 times...I can't get her anywhere, so I gave up on her. I don't care what she does...

[QUOTE="DoHo"][QUOTE="CptJSparrow"][QUOTE="DoHo"]The whole point about being emo is to be faux-everything. Faux-depressed, faux-self harming, faux-bi sexual, even faux-goth, which is why they seem so much lamer than actual goths.. They PRETEND to be all these things for attention.CptJSparrow

It's basically another label that lacks criteria for standards by which people are categorized into it. It's a lot like emo in the sense that most people don't know what it means, where it came from, or how someone fits into it. It doesn't have a definite appearance, it doesn't have a definite personality, it doesn't have a definite example. It's just like emo, it's just there, and so many people throw it around without knowing what it means, because people can't be bothered to call someone by their name if they hardly know the person, if at all. Goth, Prep, Jock, Emo, what have you, it's all the same pile of horse****.

Emo's in this sense try to mimic the dark clothing, self-hating attitude towards life, but they do it for attention. Mostly they don't harm themselves because they're rich white kids just trying to confirm to another social group. In this way being "emo" is more like a cross between faux-goth and "scene". I can't explain "scene" properly, so you might have to look it up. Basically that's my understanding of it.

I was reffering to the "typical" idea of a goth. You know, the type that wears black clothing, listens to death metal, hates people/life/the world/society/conforming, wears make-up to make themselves appear more pale/accentuate the darker parks (such as dark eyes or black lipstick).

Yeah, well even a typical idea doesn't have a real definition, it's just a label branded onto people who are deemed as unusual and unfit for society, or at least strange. Just because your definition is seen as "typical" to you doesn't mean it is to me. There is nothing carved in stone here (so to speak) that says what is goth and what is not goth, you can't define a label by a "type" of person, because every person is different in one way or another, hence labels are utterly useless. In most cases, people who brand others by said label don't even know what it is themselves. Your "typical" idea here would exemplify this.

And as for your definition of Emo, it's completely wrong because of the fact that Emo isn't a life-style or an attitude or a fashion statement, it's a sub-genre of Rock from the 80s. I don't know how people think they can define themselves by a mediocre form of musical catharsis, nor do I understand how people keep on swallowing this crap and acting like it's the truth, because no label contains truth, just ignorance and stupidity. It's just another facade that people use either to hide behind their true self, or given to people from others that don't know what they're talking about. Hence, it cannot be defined, nor can goth, nor can scene, nor can prep, nor any other label you can think of. Call it what you will, legitimize it all you want, it's still false, and it's still the same pile of crap.

Kinda sux you had to give up on her but at least you tried. I have one emo friend but thankfully he hasnt gone to the point of suicide.

So what? Let her be who she wants to be and jsut accept her as your sister. Its pretty bad that you would dissown your sister jsut becuase she looks or acts emo, or like anything that most people would see as 'wrong'. And you should not be so quick to judge, im pretty sure there could be plenty wrong with you, so keep that in mind. It very well could be a phase seeing as nowadays anything that becomes remotely popular takes over. Remember rap in the 90's andearly 2000's with 50 cent and all that? I can still visualise all those kids wearing baseball caps and wanting a bullet proof vest and such. Just to be like him and all the others. Trust me, within the next, what, 5 years there will somethign new everyone will be like and people will all be criticising it.

I for one know many emos and such and they're a cool bunch of people. None of them talk about dying or cutting or anything morbid and none of them have ever done so. Hell im the one who usually brings up something morbid, but thats becuase im apretty sick dude and im seen some nasty stuff. But really they are jsut normal people who just want to wear black or wateva and have a fringe. Also none of the ones i know are the way they are becuase they want attention either. I dunno, maybe i got a good bunch of emos with me or something. But dont try to change her, she will become her own person when she is ready.

Screw your sister you have money.Wait...tsunamiwave

Abridged Series reference FTW

Before I read the whole topic: you are very, very close-minded. I'm not emo, and I don't believe in God... so what? And emo is a type of music, but people have made it out to mean pretty much anything, from people who cut themselves to people who have black hair. I'll comment again after I read the whole topic...

EDID: Opinion has not changed.

um youre rediculous?clock_of_omens

Agreed. I know a few people that are lablled 'emo' and they are soem of the nicest people i have met. Well anyways she could be alot worse, she could be a chav. If she was a chav then you would certainly have to kill her.

That's right she just told it to my face 5 seconds ago! What a traitor! It's like finding out that your son is gay I have nothing against them but, they are full of negativity, All they talk about is cutting themeselves and whatnot.

Guys this is serious, I can't have lil sister being emo through her life becuase she could get killed or something like that, Do yall have any tips for me to try to convince her that this is wrong?

I knew something was up last night when she said she didn't believe in God!:shock: Please I have to convert her back to the inacent loving lil sis she used to be:cry:

Tech-Man08

how come you have nothing against her but you can still say she's a traitor???

What's so worong with being 'emo'?

Can't you just accept that your sister isn't who you want her to be and get on with life, i say you need converting into someone who can accept other people for who tghey are.

You must be very proud of yourself. Your friend needs help and you just ditch her...

You think I didn't tried? She doesn't care what I say? I tell her to stay away from the druggies, talk to her phycaiatrist, talk to people instead of keeping it inside...You know why she wants to kill herself? Because she said she was in "love!" At age 14...She was in love with her "best friend". Her best friend broke up with her, and she got depressed...She said her life sucks.

I've tried asking counseling for help, I tried sending her to a rehab hospital, I tried talking to her myself...She doesn't care! I'm not ****ing proud of myself...I'm tired of wasting six months trying to help, and she will not cooperate. One day I'll find her dead...then I would say I told you so...She has a mental problem, and her mom does not want to send her to a mental hospital...I can't do that, only her mom can..

ive gotta say mabye i just missed the whole emo thing but what is emo really. every person gives a different anwser as to what they think it is. so fill me in what is emo really?Blackfriend8

can i have her number:D

...apparently, joking about "honor killings" will get you moderated.

So, Uh... how about an honor smothering? Or ship her off to a convent, whichever works.

1. COnvert her to a goth or punk or metalhead . As long as they are not suicidal it's better.

2. Don't stress belief in God. It's her decission . Best you can do is ask her to go to church not for god but for you.

3. Take away her books and poetry and give her somethign else.

That's right she just told it to my face 5 seconds ago! What a traitor! It's like finding out that your son is gay I have nothing against them but, they are full of negativity, All they talk about is cutting themeselves and whatnot.

Yeah, it's amazing how people keep on taking this crap seriously, like I said before, this is practically a Boogie_J thread. I guess sarcasm and sardonicism aren't the most common commodities on the internet.
