What you guys aren't realizing is that these people shouldn't be called emo(see link at the bottom of page). But either way, this is just stupid, who cares what these people wear or act like? They don't deserve all the stuff they get. Most people who pick on these people make them more annoying, because then the "emos" do what these people hate more.

If that makes any sense at all...

Some food for thought:

Hey you! I already said that!
Quote:
There's different branches of "emo," that goes along with the separate waves of emo. You got the emotional hardcore group, but then you got the tight pants/makeup/songs about girls. I really don't see how it's foolish to wear makeup and tight pants or listen to emotional hardcore. There will always be some dicks in EVERY group.
This emo with the tight pants and such is just a new wave of it. Ultimately it's not the original defintion of emo (Embrace, Rites of Spring, etc), but it is "where it has gone" in a sense. I don't hate on the newest wave, in fact I like some of it, but it is a lil discouraging for me (and hell, my lovely lady), to see 14 year olds listening to Fall Out Boy (not an emo band, they're pop-rock if anything but I call them emo for simplicity's sake) and writing songs about breakups and claiming to be "true" emo without even knowing a thing about Rites of Spring or hell, even the second wave like Sunny Day Real Estate.

Things take different meanings as time goes on, for better or for worse. Look at anarchy. From Dictionary.com
2.political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control: The death of the king was followed by a year of anarchy.
3.a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society.


2 different meanings!

Perhaps not by your definitions but there is more than one use of the word.

Well if all you guys can say is "emos are annoying" I figured I'd point out that by traditional standards they aren't emo. In fact I just hate that word now.


I won't say it hasn't taken on a double meaning but I don't care.

"There is only one way to be, and that's a G".

Nah... Emo's don't even exist. They are made up. Emo is emotional, everyone as emotions there making everyone emos. I won't say more. :P

Well despite double meanings, there is a life style classified as emo and characterized (or stereotyped) by black clothing, bleak outlooks on life, unsociality (probably not a word, but you get the idea), long hair, and a specific type of music.
