I don't know, I don't hate emos!!!
I love emos, they are so cute when they wallow in their teen angst!
I wish that I could adopt all the emos in the world and watch them cut themselves from all their built up stress...
...*Sob*I'm so lonely...

Maybe people hate emos because all emos ever do is feel sorry for having a pathetic life.

Thing is, most "Emo" kids don't have pathetic lives. Most of them are Middle class kids, who live in an average home, go to an average high school, and so on and so forth. This whole Emo trend only got where it was because the media capitalized on it and blew it out of per portion.

When I see emo kids, I just think to myself: You're an idiot for not thinking for yourself and not being who you are, not trying to be what some band tries to be, cause they're laughing their way to the bank on your so called "Unhappiness"

The more you try to act like something you're not, the more you forget who you are.

Hate? That is a bit too strong a word isn't it? I think "great annoyance" is more suitable.

Why huh? Maybe it is the wannabe goth and nearly instant trend. I don't think it is necesarrily the details or various apects of an Emo that people dislike; it is probably the speed in which the people change. How annoying is that really?

How pathetic or sad does one have to be to seriously turn Emo over a matter of nights? This goes for anything in my opinion actually. I overstimate everything and the human race in general it seems, so it feels like a slap in the face and great disrespect everyday a new fad is born.

"Emo (music), a genre of rock music
Emo (slang), a slang term used to describe a wide range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music"-wikipedia.

"In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk which originated in the Washington, DC music scene of the mid-1980s"-wikipedia.

The term has been rolled around the toungue longer than just two years. By then it could have picked up new meanings and/or uses. So dont go on thinking emo was brought up to describe people, it was origally to descibe music. The fashion and the at5titudes came later.

To be honest, emo has been around longer than some people of AO.

Good web search there, but it actually hasn't. As you can see, our definition and the most widely known/popular depiction came about quite recently yes?

This isn't a that "tomato, tamato" phrase, but obviously two completely different brands. What exactly has to change before we can call is different?

What is relevant or significant would be cool.

You know, I got to thinking after reading some of the newer posts...

Hate is a pretty strong word, I agree.

But I realized just how cynical I have really become. It's mostly based on where I live, and the bulls**t I have to deal with on a daily basis... I live far far from my true home. I am surrounded by people who are total screw-ups... And I have to live in a very suppressed enviroment... So I have become less tolerant that I used to be. (T_T) I think I am just sick of the people, as opposed to what they label themselves as. But as a human, I lash out at what is easiest... Them being "whiney emo kids." >.<;

I also looked at the word "wannbe goth." I think a lot of young people who are trying to find themselves and their style are considered "wannabes," especially to people who are "veterans." When I started to fall into different styles and cultures, they called me a wannabe. Simply because I "hadn't been around long enough." The same falls onto the emo fad.

Don't forget, that there is a difference between people who like the style, and are happy... And people who hate everything and think their lives are terrible and mutilate themselves. HUGE difference there. I know a couple "emo kids" who are happier than most people! They just like the "style" of emo.

Anyway...
I apologize for being so angry and cynical. I just really am not as patient as I used to be. V.V;

Okay I want to make some things clear before I go on a rant.
First: Emo stands for emotional for all those people who don't know that.
Second: Emo is a type of music

Okay personally I don't hate emos. I have friends whine moan and complain about their lives and they have good reason too, why because unlike most of us here their lives really do suck I mean seriously. Some of my friends are adopted from other countries and their parents just don't like treat them wrongly and pretty much neglect them. Which has caused one of my friends to be seriously messed up. So of course they seek attention because they never had it in the first place. And besides prejudice is just wrong it just makes people look more ignorant. And that's what the world really needs. >_>

Life doesn't start to suck until you have no place to live, don't know where your next meal is coming from, and all you have to your name is your backpack full of dirty clothes and the stuff you're wearing. I've done it, its not pretty. You don't know how much life starts to suck until you've spent a night out on the street.
