The Emo Factor: what do u think? - Page 2

According to wikipedia I fit into the emo description because I wear skater shoes, band shirts, slim fit jeans and a studded belt with a demon belt buckle.

Emo fashion has changed with time. Early trends included straight, unparted hair, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad.

I thought this look was normal. But no one should discriminate others for anything. If you don't like something then just ignore it.

EVERYBODY has problems, and most people are persecuted for it all the time. That never changes and never will. It's all about how you take that kind of treatment. That's what separates Emo from the rest of us.

Are you gonna do something about your problem, or are you going to let yourself continue to suffer? When made fun of, do you cry, or do you kick the guy's ass? Hell, would you just walk away and keep your pride? These are questions you have to ask yourself.

Me personally, I don't have much agains Emo kids, except they don't deal with their problems like the rest of us. They let their problems continue to make them suffer, rather than trying to dig themselves out of their own hole.

I don't know any emos. And I don't have much to say about them. I'm not emo,but some personality quizzes say Iam. I get depressed sometimes,but I'm not crazy enough to cut myself. That goes to far. We all get depressed sometimes,but there's better things to do that cut yourself.

Well i find it quite sad actualy..i mean people that cut themself feel bad enough at it is without others makeing fun of them....i don't cut myself but i know people that do.. i have convinceed a few to stop beacause it won't help any..
anyways the people who i find rather disterbing are the people that cut themselves just to fit in...that bothers me...alot....i know a few of them and their just i dono....
anyways being emo doesn't change who u are and they don't deserve to be discriminated against..everyone feels remorse at one time or another...just because they chose to show it doesn't make them any different then us...

I think we had a debate about the whole Emo kids and cutting. For the record--once again--not ALL Emo kids cut themselves. Yeah, I'm sure they all whine and they're the ones who made it (both whining and cutting) popular, but it's not all of them. I know cutters who are goth, I know a black kid who's a cutter, I know a MIXED kid who used to cut! Hell, I know people who cut themselves to get off!!

That's like saying all black people carry guns and can only talk about money, sex, drugs and cars, while eating fried chicken and watermelon in a baptist church and simultaneously running from the police on either drug charges; or robbery charges... (LMAO!!!

)

Don't you think that if all Emo kids cut themselves, there'd be little to no Emo? I mean, if you cut yourself enough, you're bound to get good at it, right?

people tell me im emo because im cutter, but i was doing it long before the emo style came in, and i was suicidal. i have no problem with most emo people, because alot of my friends follow they style. it can get to the point that i want to scream at some of them to shut up and move on. So i try and keep myself out of the category with them at school, sorry but when someone asks to use my project sissors at lunch because they want to cut themselves i draw the line. It feels like they mostly do it for attention now and to fit in with their friends. so i kinda ignore those types of emo's.

yea everyone has problems, and issues and getting sad is a way to show you are human and have emotions like everyone else. Nobody should be made fun of though because of a certain style, they have no idea what some people go through, and they are basically adding fuel to the fire. its not just the emo's either that get picked on but thats what most people notice because emo's promote their cutting to everyone else. All types of cliques go to cutting, and even people out of school into adult daily lives as well.

It is a problem thats getting worse by the day, and parents dont take alot of kids seriously, and think that their kids are only following their fashion. It would be better if some people found a way around it and found something that makes them notice everything around them and hopefully move on with their lives. Most kids in school change alot with five years of leaving highschool, so i dont see the point to why some of these people act like this, while other who do have problems are the ones being picked on and feel worse evryday because retards want to fit in.

id rather not add fuel to this fire, i hate picking on people because it does make them feel bad, and i know what thats like. Ive actually helped alot of people to stop cutting, and picking on people because they think its funny

Well Emo to me (sorry for the wiki source...x.X') is what that source says. A 1985 off-shoot of punk and to me the "Emo kids" of today ruin it and just seek attention. I dislike how people say "It's a way of life" or more than just a music genre. I also hate it when people claim to be an individual whilst they call themselves emo. I find it contradicting in a way. Same with people who call themselves emo but freak out when another calls them that.

Meh...labels.

darkangel1240 · Sep 01, 2008, 05:32 PM

I stand as a semi- emo. Some times i can get really depressed but, i don't cut my wrist. I just listen to depressing music when ever i'm really sad.

And, i wear black when ever i'm depressed. And, sometimes i write poems about death. But, i don't want to die. I just get depressed really badly. If some thing bad happened to me.. I could get really depressed. And, i have my likings for blood and vampires. And, i like the style of goth. I wear eye liner and black nail polish. And, i wear skulls. And, i rather choose red than black. Red reminds of blood and vampires. I love Vampires and blood.

This is exactly why it's so hard to find an emo person with a genuine problem. If you were raped or went through a really bad divorce or something, i think you have a right to be emo. Something has to heal the wound.

But if you call it a lifestyle choice then you really have no idea what it is to be truely in pain.

the way i see it, if you are emo due to a genuine problem then i'll be happy to help you out. If, however, you are emo to just for the sake of the lifestyle, then you truly do not deserve to call yourself emo.
