A lot of groups hate emos and they usually use the line "go cut yourself emo kid" or "why dont you cry about it" or something like that. So drawing on how they attempt to pay out emo people, I'd say that they think we are ALWAYS sad and whinging about everything.

They also draw on the stereotype that every emo cuts, which is completely wrong. There are two types of emos, the ones that cut which are in it for the attention and are just generally depressed, and then there are the ones who are in it for the music and the style.

My friend said he doesn't like emos because they make a mockery of depression, but i don't really agree with that because he believes the music is just bands pretending to be depressed to get listeners. A lot of the time i think it is the bands/artists appealing to those who are depressed and giving them something to relate to, hence helping them through their problems. But yeah thats my rant.

I would agree on that one. It makes sense.
But another reason is that it has become cool to hate emo kids. Ever since the second wave of emo got commercial in the 90's the whole genre and the culture following has been bastardized by the media, and that IS a fact.

Yeah people are quick to judge just by appearance, we can't help it if we are so ******** awsome, can we?

emos are not hated. non-emos are just stupid to get what we`re doing. well at least we are true to ourselves rite.  

[Nagaru Tensei]

Because Emos are HOTTer than others...

Ha.

O.o

I have a friend who hates me because I'm emo.
But he hasn't stopped being my friend.
He's just mad at the fact that I am.
Because he likes me.
He says he doesn't want to be fearing every second I could be alone cutting myself.

Because they are jealous that we are not afraid to express our emotions.
While they keep them bottled up; just so they don't look like a "p***y" in front of their meathead friends.

People complain that we're crybabies, and that we're all the same. I've been made fun of ya know, some guy whistles at me, and when I just glare at him he says something like 'look a little depressed eh emo?' They just can't admit that we're cooler than them ^^

[Lynnic_Darkness]

people need something to hate..and they are mindless fools for picking emo...  

[phish cakes = luff]

hey, all my goth friends like emo guys, but hate emo girls. minus me. they dont know any other emo girls! *sigh* its just so stoopid. and the preps, yeah they hate the sexuality of it all. they think everyone should be straight, but being bi is kool. it hasnt helped me get a boy/girl friend but whatever. the chavs are jealous of us because their minds are too small to comprehend the greatness of it all, and the few rockers and punks that do hate us, probably hate us because they know they cant get off on wearing as much eyeliner. but why should we care, anyhoo? being emo isnt about being liked, its about being who you are. so ******** the haters, and all their labels, im a pestimist, depressed, love the beatles, and i take enjoyment out of making faces at the kids in the car next to us in the petrol place. when life hands you preps, throw rocks.
