Okay, I wanna clear up what has become a very dramatic event. I want to discuss what emo is. Arguments are welcome as long as you are intelligent about it and not just being a twit. Emo is not about thinking nobody else knows how you feel. Someone out in the vast world has probably felt what you feel at some point or other. Emo is not about being depressed all the time. Don't whine to everybody, nobody likes that. Emo is not about being a p***k about how people dress. There is most decidedly an "emo" fashion, and it's definitely changed over the years. But if you think you're the first to do something, think how large the world pop is? YOU? The FIRST? Probably not. But being emo isn't how you dress. You can be emo and wear a wetsuit around for all anybody cares. If you make fun of people or tell them they are wrong cuz they don't dress within the fashion guidelines, you're no better than the preps who tell you emos are stupid. Emo isn't about fighting over which band is more emo. Music is music. There are emo bands, but you shouldn't freak out over a band being emo or not emo. If the music's good, then listen to it. If not, then don't. I hate wearing a My Chemical Romance shirt and somebody saying, "They're not really Emo." I tell them that I don't give a flying F*** and that I like their music. Emo is not about any of that stuff. What emo really is/was is a moral statement. In keeping with the punk tradition, emo music brought up an issue that needed attention. The issue is/was this: Men have emotions. Boys can cry. It also brought cutting to people's attention. It's not telling you to do it. Some people(myself included) have or still cut. Cutting is not cool and you need help to stop. You can PM me if you need help stopping, I stopped and so can anyone else that cuts. Emo is much like what feminism was for woman. It told the world to f*** the norms for genders. Emo said that boys don't have to suck it up and live with it. Dye your hair black, wear a band tee, get some skinny jeans, wear eyeliner, have some dorky glasses, but in the end...that doesn't make you emo. Emo is an attempt to change crappy ideas and gender role assignment. Okay, that's all I wanted to say. You are free to post any arguments/ideas/questions here but remember, keep it civil. I'm not gonna be baited by flamers, I'm just gonna block you. So I hope that helps people be a little more educated and less of jerks about or within the emo culture.
