EMO?

Posted by phyconinja Sep. 19, 2007 @ 6:50 PM EDT

Im getting really tired of hearing people just calling other people Emo without a good reason. Most of the people calling other people Emo doesn't even know what an Emo is, and thinks that its a person that cuts him/her self and commits suicide. And for some reason they call all people with black hair for emo.

1st example: Me
Ok, I only wear black clothes. But thats only cuz I like black, I can wear dark red to, but I rarely do. And so I colored my hair black some months ago.The first reaction in class after I did that was some guys started calling me Emo. Just because my hair was black? Well, so one of the teachers heard they call me Emo. So she asked what an Emo was. Their reply. "Emo is a person that is really depressed and cuts them selfs.. and commits suicide". Wtf. I don't got any cuts on my arm, and Im not dead. Why did they call me Emo. Some people even starts laughing when I say I got called Emo, cuz I don't look like a "Emo" anyways.

2nd example: A friend of mine
Ok, her hair is black, and she dresses in black and red. Therefor she gets called Emo all the time. And the people thinks that she cuts herself or wants to die? She don't. She actually says she wants to live abnormally long. Does that sound like someone that wants to die? She has never cut herself, and her favorite color is limegreen. So why does thees people think she wants to kill herself?

I don't got a good third example.. But you get my point. Just because someone dress in black, doesn't mean thy cut them self and wants to kill them self. People should get to know someone better before they judge them.

: Now, before you start thinking of me as some sort of freek or something. Im a normal guy, I just wear black clothes. I don't look like those outsiders you see in movies, I look just normal. The fact that I was called Emo based on the color of my hair is weird if you ask me. But well well. I just wanted to say this. hopefully some people out there agree with me.

Stereotyping.

That's basically what the world revolves around today.

But I still think its stupid that they think someone wants to kill them self just because they got black hair, and/or black clothes.

that theres a site exxplaining all about what emo really is
if u dnt feel like goin there then hear u go:emo is a subculture revolving around a type of music created in the late 80s early 90s. it started with a band called Rites of Spring. it is called emo music or emocore(older name). the style includes tight jeans, greasy hair, and horn rimmed glasses
ive gone throughh the same exact thing as u have. many people called me emo, and if they refered to the style of music i like and wat i wear and basically the ACTUAL def. of emo, then yea,, they were right
if they were talking about the cutting, pissed off suicidal kids, then they were rong
u basically have to tell them that there self absorbed ass wipes hoo just have to make themselves feel better by making others feel worse.
good luck to you and any otheres who are goin through this.

Thanks for bringing in some facts. Thats always useful..

Not surprised. Most of the population is retarded in this era. Can't deny it.
For instance, every damn person that voted for Bush, that's a large amount of US. All idiots, there's an example. Sorry to switch subjest like that on you, but that's what the world is.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 2:11 PM phyconinja responds:

I know what you mean. And I agree with you.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 8:04 PM ElMagico says:

dude, you're being really emo right now.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 2:10 PM phyconinja responds:

And your reason for saying this is?


Sep. 19, 2007 | 8:13 PM SaltshakerClock says:

What happened to Goth? And suddenly, there have been many people dicussing emo stuff.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 2:09 PM phyconinja responds:

The goth is still here.. I see some now and then... But the Emos are taking over.. Even tho lots of the people getting called Emo doesn't consider them self Emo.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 8:24 PM BlastBot07 says:

I don't know what happened to the society either. It seems we all run on stereotypical sayings and thoughts. It seemed to start on the internet and it just grew to the outside. I agree with Ultrared on how it seems most people in this era we live in are self-centered and have nothing else to do but make others feel bad and/or pissed off. Then again it seems the atmosphere now is sad and gloomy. No one ever has really anything good to say, it's always mindless complaining and depression. Not saying that you're argument here is mindless. Oh no, not at all. You for one actually know what the hell you are trying to say. All I can say in the end is that: It better fucking end soon.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 3:40 PM phyconinja responds:

I dont think we can see an end to this for at leest several years. Its like asking to get rid of bullying in school.. but something will take over for the Emo part sometime..but not in the near future I guess..

What?


Sep. 19, 2007 | 8:25 PM fdtoonsman says:

Wow, you do have a good point there. People need to understand that better.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 9:53 AM phyconinja responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you agree with me. ^^


Sep. 19, 2007 | 8:29 PM Kurt7rox says:

I have to say I agree totally that Americans as a whole are retarded and Bush suxxxorz lol. And I consider myself a Grunger, and while very few if any people have called me emo, I have actual emo friends, its just a subculture, and just because its not a prefered clique it gets dumped on, which is just a show of how ignorant, and willfully so, most of our fellow Americans are.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 10:13 AM phyconinja responds:

Exactly.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 10:17 PM AeroJizzer says:

Lol she dont

Sep. 20, 2007 | 9:54 AM phyconinja responds:

Who?


Sep. 19, 2007 | 10:53 PM Dazmi says:

Where I live. I haven't heard the word Emo outside of the internet.

I can see why everyone hates America now

Sep. 20, 2007 | 10:01 AM phyconinja responds:

Well, umm.. I'm not from America tho..

STFU EMO!

jokin :P

nah what you said id very valid, the emo trend is just too far out of hand, i mean to be honest i detest Emo's, not because of what there about but because people now become Emo because all their friends are, i thought choosing to make your self look in a certain way was about being different, NOW EVERY MAN AND HIS DOG (an emo dog) looks identical. AND theres now shops to cater for this clothing craze, i ask you this... if you see an EMO throw rocks at him/her


Sep. 20, 2007 | 2:08 AM Elios says:

I agree with you phyconinja. I can relate, because i wear the excessive amounts of black clothing. What i have learned, from observing EMO's is that their general appearance is quite distinctive.

1. Most EMO's will have a singnificantly absurd hair style, OR, completely plain and boring. It will usually consiste of 1 or more colors, such as black, blonde, red, or blue.

2. EMO's has a strict dress code, with dosen't really vary in style, but varies in color and logo more.

Male: Tight, restricting pants, with a chain (that probably connects to nothing) extending to about 5-7 inches in length. Most of their clothing will have a significant patch, or series of patches, resembling a activist / Freedom / anti=gov't movement. Their shirts, with probably vary the most, can range from a long sleeve, plaid / striped whatever, to a short sleeve (VERY tight, like XXS) and has a band logo on the front

Female: Almost always, will a EMO girl, wear a plaid school girl skirt, with possibly a safty pin in it for some reason. Fish net stockings are an absolute EMO requirement (No matter the temperature outside) and will always have a series of rips or tears, cuz dat shyt is badass, fo' reelz...
Sry...moving on. An EMO girls hair style is ALWAYS long...you cannot be EMO if your hair is less than 10 inches. And with females, the colors can range from anything that is in the color spectrum, from Hot fukin' pink, to David Hasselhoff shorts Red.

3. The attitude of am EMO is pretty much unknown...most of the time, (and i'm probably going to get alot of crap from people for this) But most of the time, the EMO sulky, depressed, anti-trust attitude, is just an ACT. That's right, most of the EMO's out there, are just acting like their life sucks ass. And we can all tell them the same sob story about kids in africa, whatever. (My apologies to Mindchamber if i have insulted him and the kids from Arica....power to the people brother,) So, EMO's are pretty much:

- sissys
- weak-minded
- not very creative
- one-with-the-crowd
- loner (possibly a stoner)
- acts independed (when mommy isn't around with her minivan)
- and overall, lame.

Now then....on to the GOTHIC people.

All i can really say is...I'm gothic, i wear loose / baggy / VERY comfortable clothing, I like the Insane Clown Posse, AND i have an independant mind of my own. And just because i "Wear what other people wear, and call myself gothic" dosnt mean i'm just going with the crowd. I actual perfer to label myself as gothic, instead of just saying "Hi, i'm scott, look! i wear black things."
Nah, Gothic is easier.

Later.

I understand, bro. I'm a prideful metal-head. For some sick reason people just gawk when I walk through our small *Perfect* little town. YOu know they're screaming their judgments.

I like to counter these judgmental peoples thoughts with simple little "Good deeds."

For about 2 years now, many have learned not to judge. I'm actually a stand up member of our community. I guess a little effort goes a long way. Heh. :)
