We're talking about the group of people who are characterized by connections to emotional hardcore music. Just saying emo could mean both the music and the people, so let's not get caught up in that that bs about changing the meaning of words.

No you aren't. You're not talking about people who listen to Embrace, Rites of Spring, Ian MacKaye, Jawbreaker, City of Caterpillar (amazing band), etc, you're talking about those who listen to Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, Cute is What We Aim For, etc, who I wouldn't classify as emo at all. Pop-punk/rock maybe, not emo. There's nothing particularly hardcore about it, really.

It's not bs either, it's actually very important and to dismiss it is missing the point. In order to understand fads, you have to understand their origin. You have to understand everything about it.

But carry on anyways, we already had this discussion. I don't know why this thread exists.

[quote=knoxbox;24507]what do you guys think about this next generation of fads...



usually wear tight fiting jeans have the grunge type look usually black or dark brown hair that covers half of their face. usually show signs of suicidal tendencies.

i have blonde hair that covers half my face..
never have been suricial, or cut my self..
just cause people look this way doesnt meen they are.

Well the stereotype also assumes that [this style of dress] denotes your musical preference and that your dress and musical preference make you depressed and suicidal.

i actually listen to people like led zeppelin, ramones, drop kick murphys, sex pistols the clash , the beatles etc

I listen to some of them.

The beatles are emo? Did I miss something???

Yes, you missed everything..i am not emo, i am proving just cause i dress how i do do not sterotype me... JEEEEEEEEEEEEZ

Oh I see...because none of those bands are [the type of band that is stereotyped to accompany the style of dress that you have taken on].

Ah , now that makes sense!
