Is Emo bad?

Not all Emo people are like that. I've got an Emo friend that I've known for a while. He's probably one of the nicest people I know He wasnt always Emo, he just got depressed, but for a good reason.
 
I don't hate the people that listen to it, I have a friend that listens to it but it's the music and the artists themselves that I don't like.
 
I don't think there's EVER a good reason to get depressed. All it does is screw things up, and you should jsut get OVER it.
 
An emo stereotype and insult goes here directed at no one in particular so I can fit in but I'm not going to anyways.

*sigh*

Mood: Depressed.

Today I went to class like I do everyday. It was boring so I doodled some dark necronomicon-esque portraits of Johnny Depp. He's my lonely anti-hero. I learned that I can't draw when that ****** Dylan ratted me out. I want to **** him up. My girlfriend dumped me today. For another girl. I hated that bitch anyways. My Prozac supply is running low and I spent all my money on some dirty thrift store clothes. I'm wearing them on Friday. I hung out with Samantha at Starbucks. She went to the bathroom too many times. She's anorexic but she is hot. I want to do her. But I can't. I want to tell her I love her very much. But I'll always know she'll reject me. I gained five levels on my Night Elf today.
 
lol very good Shens, great account, especially from someone who is actually pretty emo alot of the time anyway. Lets be honest...its just a different kind.

Emo, as I distinguish it, is simply being over-emotional and bordering on depressed. Whining about loneliness, lack of sex, the death of a pet hermit crab, abandonment ("OH GOD WHY DID MY 14 YEAR OLD GF LEAVE ME WE WERE MEANT TO BE"), and generally being a pansy. You're likely to break into tears and write a shitty "deep" poem if so much as the wind blows against you too hard.

Goth, as I distinguish it, is the next evolutionary step from the emo kid. Sick of crying (or perhaps he's broken his tear ducts from overuse), he has crafted a life for himself through habit. He now accepts that "life sucks, dude" and the sense of loneliness has been numbed considerably over the years. Instead of being a whiny **** that wanted to be a part of the world, he turned into whiny **** that no longer wants to be a part of it (his whininess a bit more subdued at this point). He wears black to display his pain. He chainsmokes in the corner and bobs his head instead of partying; silently expressing to the disinterested people around him that he truly doesn't care. "Life is, like, meaningless, man." Instead of listening to a crying sissy on a guitar, he listens to a sad mongoloid of a human being scream his head off.

At some point the emo and goth either grow out of their adolescent angst and become productive members of society or they kill themselves.
 
Then society kills them. Either way, all parties win.
 
That can be said for the entire female population.
 
ok, I'm coming out...
I AM EMO.
I can only se out of one eye, due to my hairstyle.
My pubes are dyed red. With black streaks.
All of my clothes are black. Thongs excluded.
My wrists look like grated cheese.
The walls of my room are completely black with poetry and painful musings.
I have never managed to keep a girlfriend for longer than 3 days due to my "whining".
I put mascara on my eyelids.
My nails are two inches long. And glossy "ivory black".
I own every CD put out by "Simple Plan" and "Good Charolette".
and etc. etc.

I'm joking, btw.
 
We should send emos to live in a third world country, see how they like reality.

EMO's are try to get attention by acting depressed. They give people my age a bad image.
 
My sister is emo. I still like her though. She's not depressing to be around (in fact, she talks about six miles a minute; it's hard to keep up with actually) and is actually rather fun to hang around with. So, not all emo-kids are whining, soulful, terrible beasts.

Real emo is good. Back in the 80s. That was good emo. Anything on MTV isn't emo. People use the word emo without even realizing it means "emotional hardcore". Sure, they're a few "emotional hardcore" bands around now, but must of em just suck.

Back in the 80's? Dude, Sunny Day Real Estate started emo in 94. You have no idea what you're talking about.

You guys have no ****ing idea what emo is. Only what the emo stereotype is.
 
i only dislike it when fake emos whine over nothing. but being sentimental, passionate, etc. isn't bad at all.

Meh, some emo people are alright. It's just not a life style I'm interested in. As I said, my sister is emo, and of my best friends is as well. I think it's just the music itself that bothers me. The only emo band I've heard that I liked is The Postal Service.

As a side note, I do like to give them a little grief. When asking them what they want to do sometimes, I ask them if they'd like to eat\movie\whatever, and then ask "...or would you like to sit in a dark room and cry instead?":bounce:
 
yeah theres 2 emo farms at my school

The phrase means "Emotionally Hardcore". I will allow you to draw your own conclusions from said definition.

Or, to keep it quick, Linkie!

Also, don't forget Screamo.
 
"In its original incarnation, the term "emo" was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s DC scene and its associated bands. Eventually, the DC scene adopted the term "emo-core", short for "emotional hardcore", derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and literally emotional during performances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Grey Matter, Fire Party and slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.

Starting in the mid-1990s, the term "emo" largely reflected the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate, and Texas Is the Reason put forth a more indie rock brand of emo, which was more melodic and less chaotic in nature than its predecessor. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the end of the 1990s, as many of the bands either disbanded or shifted their style to the mainstream."

See all the kids i know who are emo just listen to the music and aren't anything like that whole emo stereotype. None of them dress in black, black hair long fringes, any of that crap. None of them whine. They just listen to the music.

And i've never heard of The Postal Service. I stick to bands like Thursday, Motion City Soundtrack and At The Drive-In and what not over that pussy emo stuff like Dashboard Confessional or screamo crap.

You might try checking out The Postal Service's stuff. It is quite good. I only know of them because my friend is into hyper-obscure\stuff-I-don't-about emo bands. They have some good stuff. Particularly check out "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight".

Favorite part?

"You seem so out of context/ In this gaudy apartment complex/
A stranger with your door key/ Explaining that I'm just visiting/
And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving"

Good song.

edit: sorry, fairly loaded. I used "Good" entirely too many times in that post.
 
Emotional people, I respec, EMO ( i hate my life, i have a two story house, and all the money i could ever need) i cant stand.
 
Wow, my name sucks according to UrbanDictionary:

Evo is word used to describe the most annoying kids in the world. Usually they will be extremly late bloomers and won't hit puberty untill they are around 17.
They have really high voices, and touch penis'. They also cheat at every game they play 'cause they are young and think they need to prove somthing. Little do they know we own 'em..WOW GG ****ING EVO KID, YOU ****ING SUCK AT CS /PART FROM LIFe.

That really ain't me :(


Anyway, Emo's are a trend that will soon be replaced by proper Metal heads
 
The Postal Service is a great band. The singer is the vocalist for Death Cab for Cutie also. And stop with the god damn stereotype that all emo people do is whine and cry. NOBODY I know does that in any form. The most emo kid I know is always jumping around all hyper, hes hilarious. His whole group of friends (including me) are emo, and we are all not like anything anyone has said here.
 
Emo style is like ketchup. Nobody would need that if it didn't exist. Still, it was invented to fulfill a certain non-essential requisite. In the same way, normal people need to reconfort themselves by seeing they haven't sink as low as some individuals, just as ketchup needs his completive mustard.. Plus, ketchup tastes good. <3

Yes, and emo's have this bitter aftertaste :x
 
My friend's going to a fancy dress party as an emo kid. She's gonna wear a t-shirt saying "I live for suicide"

It's like I've always said: Emo kids; stop whining about suicide and show some initiative.
 
Personaly I think it's fair enough to be emotional, but Emo's take it to a whole new level.

Original around where I live, it wasn't that bad to be an Emo. You were just a kid that liked that sort of music, and liking that sort of music didn't mean you had to go around with a sour look on your face.

However, times change, and now Emo's are just whiney little b*****ds.

Death to the Emo's :)
 
they piss me off, they look like dicks, they ownt get a job becuase they look like dicks, they study shit subjects so they will always be dicks, they whine aobut how shit there life thi smakes them dicks, they will eventually live off the government the dicks, and should be shot because they are dicks
 
I was just going to say that emo sucks.... but joims, I couldnt of said it better lol.
