Emo

---

Is it me or are most emo kids really lame? I find it stupid to have a genre of music and way of life that revolves around depressing stuff and depression itself and then they complain that their life is so full of wow because their parents say they look silly and wont let them stay out late.

as with all forms of music emo started from something with meaning a way for kids to revolt against their parents, at least for EMO. But it is being exploited by bands that are simply following current trends to make some extra money. A lot of meaning is being lost in not just emo, but in all forms of music. It is very hard to tell when a band is driven by the thoughts of being rich or popular to those that love music and have a message to deliver (although inevitably they have to have thoughts of being successful).

I was listening to Husker Du and 7 Seconds even before they were even refered to as "Emo-Core"This current EMO shit that still tries to pass it's self off as some kind of punk is just plain dull.

I find that a lot of people are lame no matter what "group" they belong to.I have never secluded myself to a group, and it has made life a lot better. I don't have to dress any certain way, I don't have to act any certain way, et cetera. I have friends from a large amount of different "groups", and would much rather be friends with diversity than a single-minded group.

Emo actualy came from punk (Believe it or not). I think the first Emo band were called rights or spring or somthing like that. And Emo kind of evolved from there to what it is today. I just hate the way how Emo makes it sound cool for people to be depressive bastards and make being bisexual some dumb fassion statement "because emo boys kissing is cool". Emo boys kissing is a fucking insult to gay people, when people are gay its a way of life and somthing they live with but to emo people its a way to get the girls and show off when they post pictures of them and their best friend kissing on their online journal because "its hot". Its not a wonder that there are homophobes around when Emos pull shit like that. And also its cool for them to be all femmy and girly and wear makeup and their little sisters jeans. Most emo people all look the same and even act the same! I have a few emo friends and alot of them can be really dumb at times. They all act like attention starved little kids "oh look at me I need attention". Emo people set back humans back like 500 years.

XXXCOREXXX Straight edge you MOFO!!!!!!!! I will hardcore dance around and windmill kick you!!!!! HIIIIIIYAW!!!!Hardcore dancing is so lame. Hardcore and emo are basicaly the same. Only hardcore people are a little less femmy.I agree with you that the emo people have ruined alot of good things punk. I remember a day when converse allstars used to be one of the punk shoe of choice. Then the Emos took them and the punks burned their shoes.Emo its befowling everything that is great about music.LoveX~.~X~.~X Homicidal.PossumXCORE X~.~X~.~X

*hits the pit head down and fists up!!*remember this, if nothing else... when you see the Viletones and Crazy Steve stars cutting himself. get you back against the fucking wall!!!

Crazy Steve's got nothing on GG Allen when it comes to cutting himself. *licks unsuperviseds ear*

i dk.. i dk.. i have no idea who the emo bands are even lol. been told i liten to some it it. the used, chimical ramance and hawthorn hights.. some girl told me they were emo and i just said so. i listen to wut i like no matter wut genru or however it's spelled. i liten to stuff from soul fly to softer stuff liek our lady peace and if emo is in the mix then i guess it is. lol but no way in hell will u find me in girl pants or greasy hair! lol i am?i wear jeans and black tee shirts that are old, flip flops and leather wrist band thingies...i wear boardshorts and teeshirts with extreme sports brands,white,blue,red,dark colors to0.I wear braided friendship braclets...those fat rubber braclets too.I wear cargo pants and shorts..sometimes camo clolerd too.. I wear old teeshirts wiht band names,black,gray, navy, marron, and dark green too. dang it i even wear polos too! i own burganstocks, new balance and even soem cowboy boots too!wrangerler jeans, kacky pants, sports coats and buttom up collor shits.. dang it i have to wear those stupid funny looking cowboy hats too.i like beenies, caps, visers... and my hair is long and blond. my favorit shit was pink, but i don't own it no more.i know who i am but do u?

i dk but i was just wondering.. do u see ur self as punk?

i don't mean nothing bad by it or nothing. just wondering cuz all i see is a guy with a mohawke.

If I really HAD to classify myself then sure. I just act like myself I just like punk music and also like dressing like one. I guess that probrably makes me a punk, I dont just like punk music though I have a very broad music taste.

it's ok not to classify ur self. that's y i asked to see wut u would say. i don;t class ify myself. lol if i did i wouldn't no wtf to classfy myself as.. lol i jsut finished a really stupid poem abut that lol.. broad music taste..exept pop and rap lol... well a few don;t bug me but thenthat goes back to me sayingi'll listen to wut i like...and dress that way too. even if my mom says i look like death lol

lol ya, I even like some rap stuff too. Depends on the mood I am in but I like punk 10 times more than any other kind of music. Sometimes I dont feel like listening to really fast paced punk stuff so I tone it down a bit and listen to somthing like the bloodhound gang or everclear or whatever stephen lynch is funny as hell (irelevant comment there). I just listen to what I feel like. Tho I dont think if say I was into lots of emo I would have the right as such to dress like a punk nor if I was a punk should dress like an emo. If an emo dressed like a punk I would feel that they are disrespecing my music by doing so. Mostly the way I dress is to show how much I love punk rock music but I seem to have become a big band advertisment since I am plastered in band logos. My jacket is covered in patches and badges of tons of differant bands I only own band shirts my belt buckle is a misfits belt buckle my wallet is a misfits wallet, if I wear my bandana its a lars frederikson and the bastards one, my trousers have band logos patched or writen on them except for one pair, I wear arm bands on my biceps sometimes that have band logos on thhem. Yeah there isnt any way anyone could miss interperate what kinda music I like.

see i didn't know everclear was punk. lol i like some of their stuff too.

emo people all look the same and even act the same! I completely agree with that statement! They're all about "I'm an individual" when in reality they look just like every other little freak in town. It doesn't make much sense to me at all, why not be yourself and quit trying to fit in with everyone else? Some people boggle my mind at times. I've never classified myself as punk or goth or what ever, I'm just me... a once in a lifetime never gonna happen again girl ^_^

Theyre not lol, they are more rock. Neither are bloodhound gang . I was using them as an example of other bands I listen to when I dont feel like listening to fast paced punk.

Yeah but sometimes you have to classify yourself. People are not happy until youre in some kind of classification because i dunno humans are order obsessed? I meen I feel that I am just me but where as I am me I am also classed as a punk. I guess just because people class you as somthing doesnt meen you cant be yourself. But I find when people strive to change themselves to fit the steriotype they change who they really are. So when people try to fit a boring depressing lifestyle like emo they become boring depressing people. People who are themselves are by far the most fun people to be friends with because they dont get boring :laughing:.

In reply to: Crazy Steve's got nothing on GG Allen when it comes to cutting himself. licks unsuperviseds ear That gave me a tingle and goosebumps on my many, many scars!!

i agree, when i see a emo kid i just wanna laugh at him. They are all the same, they play the guitar, they all wear make-up(even the guys), they all listen to the same music, they all write poems of how they are gonig to kill them selves, they cut them selves, guys look like chicks... girls look like dikes... being an emo is one step below transvestite. They masterbate to Marlyon Manson music videos. They are all the same.

i think some emo girls can be kinda hot. its the glasses i think.
