so what exactly is the emo look?
-
Emo
-
Longer than necessary hair, wearing some little kid's shirt, and wearing your little sister's pants.

Dear DiaryMood: Apathetic”My life is spiraling downward. I couldn’t get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert. It sucks cause they play some of my favorite songs like “Stab My Heart Because I Love You” and “Rip Apart My Soul” and of course “Stabby Rip Stab Stab” And it doesn’t help that I couldn’t get my hair to do that flippy thing either…like that guy from that band can do….some days you know...”I’m an emo kid, non-conforming as can beYou’d be non-conforming too if you look just like meI have paint on my nails and makeup on my faceI’m almost emo enough to start shaving my legsCause I feel real deep when dressing in dragI call it freedom of expression, most just call me a fagOur dudes look like chicks and chicks look like dykesCause emo is one step below transvestiteStop my breathing and slit my throatI must be emoI don’t jump around when I go to showsI must be emoI’m dark and sensitive with low self esteemThe way I dress makes everyday feel like HalloweenI have no real problems but I like to make believeI stole my sister’s mascara now I’m grounded for a weekSulking and writing poetry are my hobbiesI can’t get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbingGirls keep breaking up with me, it’s never any funThey say they already have a pussy, they don’t need another oneStop my breathing and slit my throatI must be emoI don’t jump around when I go to showsI must be emoDye in my hair and polish on my toesI must be emoI play guitar and write suicide notesI must be emo”My life is just a black abyss... ya know...it’s so dark. And it’s suffocating me, grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip, tighter than a pair of my little sisters jeans...which look great on me by the way.”When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every directionHearing songs about getting dumped gives me an erectionI write in a live journal and wear thick rimmed glassesI tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classesI’m just a bad, cheap imitation of gothYou can read me “Catcher in the Rye” and watch me jack offI wear skin tight clothes while hating my lifeIf I said that I like girls I’d only be half rightI look like I’m dead and dress like a homoI must be emoScrew XBox I play old school NintendoI must be emoI like to whine and hate my parentalsI must be emoMe and my friends all look like clonesI must be emo”My parents don’t get me ya know. They think I’m gay just because they saw me kiss a guy…well, a couple guys …but still, I mean it’s the 2000’s, can’t two…or 4 dudes make out with each other without being gay. I mean, chicks dig that kinda thing anyways. I don’t know diary, sometimes I think you are the only one that gets me…you’re my best friend. I feel like tacos.”

Thanks Bob... but I'm NOT wearing my little sister's pants!

Okay, then your just shoppign in the little girls section.

emo is really old here. its annoying.its not the trend itself. its jsut that no one has jack originality about it. and its so stupid.and really who wants to point out to everyone that your suicidal?they just want attention.and thats why the whole emo thing aggravates me.
-
I have a theory about that whole wanting attention thing.I see a sort of trend (not research proven, mind you, just an observation). It seems that the wealthier a family is, the more the kids are neglected. Maybe, just maybe, their desire for attention is ligitimate based on the fact that they're not getting it from the folks they need it from the most. I'm not saying this is always the case. I know too many financially "comfortable" men and women who are amazing parents, involved in their kids lives and such. I'm just saying that maybe there's something to it.
-
Life has become to perfect for a lot of kids. Its natural for them to want to be different and become independant but when everything they want is given to them they have nothing to rebel against. Its frustrating and it builds up, we can't be ourselves when basically everything is handed to us. Granted I'm talking about a minority, but you'll find that most people in this minority will describe themselves as Emo or some similar group.

Just so you guys know, my post probably wont make sense but I'm going to add my opinion in anyways lol I have nothing agianst a person who is/or who is wanting to be diffrent, but I really don't understand the whole goth, emo, punk, thug crap kids are into these days... in my personal opinion they all look the same. They all have thier hair cut funky, they all wear black, they all look the same to me. What ever happened to being original? What ever happened to being who you are on the inside instead of being just like all the other little kids on the street? Everyone has issues, everyone has problems, and being classified as emo, punk, or goth doesn't make you any more special than the next person.@when everything they want is given to them they have nothing to rebel against. Its frustrating and it builds up, we can't be ourselves when basically everything is handed to usOh I can so understand how being given a car, or spending money for the week (that you didn't earn, your parents did), or maybe even you very own TV can be so frustraiting to some of these kids that they feel they have to write angry poetry and threaten to slit thier wrists just so someone will listen. No, that's just a cop-out to me. That's just an excuse for some angry little kid who is pissed at the world for no reason at all, they just feel like it's the right thing to do at the moment, to get attention. It makes no sense to me.

I've always thought it was kinda funny how if you asked a goth/emo/punk/whatever kid why they chose to dress like they do they would invariably say something along the lines of "I want to be original...or unique...or be myself" or whatever. And then all their goth/emo/punk/whatever friends WHO ARE DRESSED IDENTICALLY all nod their heads in affirmation.
-
I agree...it is funny how being yourself is to be like others.
-
I actually asked a kid that while I was ringing up his tuff at work one night and what did he say "Because I want to be original" and me being the loud mouth that I am, I popped off with "Original? You look like every other little kid who comes in here. You must be a trend setter... go you go." He looked at me like "I will set you ablaze with my eyes"
-
He looked at me like "I will set you ablaze with my eyes" LOL I think I would have started laughing.
-
Oh I did laugh lol I thought that litttle kid was going to try and kill me with death stares... like he was half expecting me to turn away from him while he glared at me. It was very amusing; it was like he was just hoping his little 'evil' looks would actually make me flinch but I was looking at him like "Aww, that's so cute, do it again!"

Oh so you like to belittle children? hahahaha joking

Ha ha, Jon He wasn't really a little kid, he was more like 15 or 16, but I still couldn't resist the temptation of asking him. Of course before he left the store he got me back when he mumbled "You're just old, you wouldn't understand." and I was like "What? I'm only 20! I am not old!"
-
hahaha You old fart!!!..............wait I am older than you....damn..
