Emo

Over the past few years emo kids have been a target of ridicule. Today, it has become too popular to digress, with the emergence of mainstream "scene" pop-culture advertised by the many chains of emo bands arising.

I continue to fail to understand the influx of emo culture in our world today. I have noticed it is not something limited to only the USA, but has become a serious issue in most other modern countries, especially Japan.


I label emo as a problem as the idea first degrades morale and then spreads to the behavior of others. Just as a smile can be contagious, a consistant overcast of gloom can become a cold.

I find it completely immoral that most of these emo bands are exploiting the youth of today with their music. It is all for money. Can't they see that many of these children will move on to become suicidal?

No, there is something more serious. There is some defect in our world that is affecting more and more people. There is less of a will to live... Why?

There is so many emo kids in my school, and it's all just pretend. Real depressed people show little signs of sadness, they try to be normal. Emo is just a popularity stunt.

I think a lot of it is just plain laziness....Its so much easier to be depressed and depressing then to go out into the world and make a life for yourself..Poor, poor pitiful them..Yeah right....And you are right about the entertainment industry helping to spread the malaise...

I agree with ira-k...

It is easier to be depressed, huh? Never thought of it that way.

I have to agree with retrospekt. If youre depressed, you're not going to try and show it. You're gonna try youre best to hide it from others, not showing it off like a new game.

Most emos trying to fit in to be cool are actually "scene".

It is whether the person cuts that separates them from scene as emo.

Rick, I was joking. I don't care if anyone's emo really, but those who REALLY over-use makeup etc should get that comment thrown at one

IG, that's one of the many genre-fads (punk on that one) they stole from to produce their hybrid, retarded one.

My brother wears them all the time. I tell him to go change, people can see his ovaries.

I don't have a problem with jeans, if the person wearing them has a good body and they don't hang at your tigh(sp?) so you can peek down the butt.

The other difference in between emo and scene is that scene kids like crappy local "metal" bands generally.
