I was in town yesterday and a group of kids started shouting "Emo" at me.... I've only heard of Emos recently and no one will tell me what it is.... Everyone says i'm an emo... can you be something without realising....?

Yeah emo. lol only joking.

You can be something without realising. eg. I didnt realise that I was a loser until no-one went to my school prom with me:cry: I'm so emo

Well, if i'm Emo.. im happy how i am now...(except for being depressed all the time).... so I guess emo's my thing....

Hey it's not that bad being emo, apart from the fact that everyone hates you because you're som miserable all the time

I doubt the little brats could tell you were emo just by looking at you, they'd probably been shouting it at everyone walking past. Infact, they probably don't even know what it means, just like they don't know what it means to have a life....

If chavs attempt insult you, whatever they say is a compliment, because its coming from someone who thinks that buying brightly colored socks, and pulling them over your pants, is a good look. And their obviously deluded, they think they look tough, even though they've got a pair of polka dot socks pulled over their pants. You know what would be funny, if they had burberry patterned socks pulled over their pants. Im sure somewhere there is a tracksuitor right now sporting that look, but ive never seen it.

So you call them chavs, they call you emo. Seems like you're just as 'bad' as they are?

I know emotional/depressed/depressing people and I know people who are classed as emo, and I find them to be two extremely different things. But that's society for you and I'm just as much a part of the labelling as any other person, so I just learn to not really care about the whole thing.

If someone calls you emo, don't worry about it. *shrugs* Nothing horrible. If you are depressed or depressing, then that is something you should probably have a good long think about why you are that way and if it really matters. Or see a therapist. But, as with a lot of people that come to these boards, there's a good chance you're just going through a phase and in a few years you'll hopefully be out of it.

Anaisa
01-05-2006, 11:45 AM
Um no.
You mean no you don't want to look at them?, thats perfectly understandable, or no their not tracksuitors? If its the latter, they are tracksuitors, they've got the tacky jewelry, they've got the tracksuits, they've got the attitude problem, the insecurity issues, the im tough mentality, their chavs alright. And I bet there is hordes of them in hell, right Bert?

In hell yes but not in america. Noone wears tracksuits here xD.Kids dress "ghetto" but I've never dealt with them being mean to anyone (maybe that's because I'm usually with them not the other people :p ) SO I guess since I'm a chav I don't think it's nice to pick on tham :D

mm An emo is meant to be someone who listens to emo music like hawthorne heights, jimmy eat world, AFI, takin back sunday etc., and they tend to be emotionally depressed. Most ppl who call other ppl emo usually have no idea what emo even means.... Basically anyone who uses black hair dye, Mascara, wears black clothes,is in anyway gothic is labelled an emo by those ppl.

Actually, emo comes from the emotive hardcore movement of err...I think the early 90's.

*fussfuss*

Anyone who is actually calls themselves emo these days is the kind of person who needs to just be removed from the gene pool.

Thankfully, with the fact that the emo guys will generally fail to get girls based on the reasoning that women don't need another vagina is quite comforting.

They are very insulting. Never have I seen a mosher, goth etc, answer back/call names to a chav.

I always have little twats like them giving me sick depraved glance. High and mighty little /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gifs, just remember that we are all better then them. Burn em all.

I hate labels. To define some one with such an umbrellla term loses who they really are by generalizing them. No one person can be easily thrown into one category.

Dark Summoner just ignore them (as in the guys who called you emo). They are just being idiots, something the world is not in short supply of. Why value what someone who doesn't even know you says about you? Personally if they have nothing better to do in life then call people names then I feel sorry for them.

I use to dress like a mosher non stop, but now I dont do it as much.

Emo is short for emotional. That's all. Don't say to me you're not emo, unless you're a robot. If somebody calls you emo, call them a tool, then tell them to pack your groceries faster.

Emo as a music genre? What a joke. Every type of music ever created is an outlet for some type of angst/emotion. That's the truth, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Lindy
01-06-2006, 04:49 AM
Except emo IS a music genre, and it's short for emotive hardcore.

Just the fact that the lines have become blurred and bands that aren't emo are defined as it, because people think that singing about being unhappy = emo.

That's the truth, and don't try and tell anyone otherwise.

Well you're still in 2004. Emo stands for Emotional. It is a type of rock which is also called Screamo. It is also a fashion/ genre of people, like goth. Emo's fashion is a little like Goth without the massive eyeliner. Emo, as a genre, is bassically sad and may have some originations from the Goth genre. Like a Goth is always complaining about how life is a fuck hole and talk about dark/ evil things like killing people and blood. But an Emo complains about life aswell but in a sense of sadness. Usually heart breaks and such. Emo is the blue sad side of a person. Emo, in terms of fashion, is uhh..... umm... I can't really explain that. Sorry. But I hope I helped with the other bits of information I tried to lay out...

Hey, Dark Summoner, want me to meet you up with my grandfather? He's a Holocaust survivor, lost his entire family but his brother, had to escape through forests and Nazi-occupied territories, and fed himself by eating vermin. I'm sure you'd have a lot to talk about.

Or maybe a friend of mine, who had his mother, grandomother and grandfather die suddenly on him, his father and sister become diebetic, and he serves as a combat soldier? Maybe he could understand your pain.


Stop fecking whining, and stop wearing out razor-blades. Those are for shaving, not for shallow cuts on one's wrist, to show off on the Internet.


Suicide is not something to joke about.
Suicide? I see no suicide. I see only constant whining from people who have no real worries in life, and make-pretend so that their life has some 'meaning'. Go out and have a ball, for God's sake, smile a bit and live. That's meaning.

I'm only going to speak on my behalf here. In this very society - I have had LOTS of problems in my life. I have had plenty of real worries in life. I considered suicide in many ways. Not in a frigging 'oh mi god im so lyk emo if i du dis ill get attention' way, but in a 'I'm going to end this bull/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif' way. However, that's past tense. I'm now happy with life. I have an amazing girlfriend, and it's going okay.

However, you do not have the right to have prejudiced views on others' lives. You do not know what their lives have consisted of, nor do you know what goes on in them now. No, maybe I haven't served painful times in the war, or whatever, but what I do know is that I've been unfortunate in this society. Some people still are unfortunate, and it's the truly-depressed people I'm concerned about, not those who whine to get attention.

I'm now happy with life. I have an amazing girlfriend, and it's going okay.
I'm glad to hear that. I've had to deal with serious $hit and still do, and also considered suicide in my times of teen angst - but I never whined. Those were MY problems, not everyone else's. I dealt with them, some people helped me, and that's cool.

You don't hear those people. A cry for help is healthy thing - truly depressed people are hardly ever capable of that. That's why people who constantly whine piss me off - it's not real, it's fake, and it's extremely annoying on every single level.

Good point. But what about those who knew me when I was in my state of depression? Although I guess they weren't going through the same thing, so I guess they wouldn't understand. And yes, I truly hate those who whine for nothing too. I guess every case of depression is different though.

But anyway, I'm glad I've cleared that up. However, let's get back on topic.

Using emo as a music genre was first used in the mid-80s to describe bands like The Cure. I don't know why that term was used. However, that particular genre died out a long time ago. People using the term emo to describe sucky-ass bands like My Chemical Romance and Hedley is a joke.

And I never use emo to classify great bands like Quicksand and Texas Is The Reason. It's insulting... I just call them hardcore.

Yes, it's not funny - it's pathetic.

Hey, Dark Summoner, want me to meet you up with my grandfather? He's a Holocaust survivor, lost his entire family but his brother, had to escape through forests and Nazi-occupied territories, and fed himself by eating vermin. I'm sure you'd have a lot to talk about.

Or maybe a friend of mine, who had his mother, grandomother and grandfather die suddenly on him, his father and sister become diebetic, and he serves as a combat soldier? Maybe he could understand your pain.


Stop fecking whining, and stop wearing out razor-blades. Those are for shaving, not for shallow cuts on one's wrist, to show off on the Internet.


Suicide? I see no suicide. I see only constant whining from people who have no real worries in life, and make-pretend so that their life has some 'meaning'. Go out and have a ball, for God's sake, smile a bit and live. That's meaning.

This part isn't really about this topic, but I hate it when people tell other people that they have no right to feel bad about something because someone else had it worse. By that logic, no one has the right to feel bad because there is someone out there who does have it worse off than another person.

However, I do think that rich suburban kids who claim that their life is crap need to lighten up. Not because someone out there had it worse, but because it's just a waste of time to do that to yourself. I thought that I used to give myself a rough time, but man, some "emo" people out there really need to cool down.

NO...really... when you feel so bad that you really want to die.... that's not for attention and it is in no way funny.... it's one of the most stupid things i have ever done... hiding it is'nt as easy at it would seem either.. and when someone does notice, you feel as though you would want to die of embarrasment and dissapear anyway.. if anyone does that for attention they really don't have a clue what they are doing... if you want attention do a cartwheel or something...


I understand what you mean. I'm classified as 'emo' all the time, and most of the time, I agree with the people who say it too. (For some reason, I think of it as a compliment. o.O) Just be yourself.

And to the rest of you, if you don't like 'emo' people, why don't you just shut up about it? Those who are classified as 'emo' (like me, for example) usually take that as an insult, and it only makes us more upset. If you have any jokes or insults, please for the love of God, keep them to yourself. We don't want to hear them.

Dark Summoner, I understand your point when your showed your wrist (it's yours right?). Cutting yourself really is pointless and embarrassing, trust me. And no, it isn't funny. No physical harm is, unless you're a sadistic jerk.

I didn't say anything about feeling bad - you can't control that. I do hate it, though, when people constantly whine and 'brag' about their 'pain'. And yes, other people's suffering is a very good meter for your own suffering - it's called proportion. When I feel down, I always think about people who had it worst, and how they dealt with it.


Y'know this is the first (and most likely last) time I'll ever agree with War Angel.

My pain is bigger than your pain

I finally understand why people hate emos. But I've been in an emo state, and know lots of emos, and goths, who can be happy and optomistic. Depression and attention seeking attempts at suicide isn't a must. Its just... common. But seeking attention in that fashion isn't exclusive to those sub-cultures either. You hate underhanded (or possibly all) attention whores. Not emos, or goths, or whatever.


I'm now happy with life. I have an amazing girlfriend
Interesting you should point that out with your happiness. I think many a suicide attemptee can relate to that. Funny how that works out.

The attention seekers do it to get sympathy and pity and... attention from those close to them. Because for some reason they feel lonely. And the ultimate cure for loneliness is a companion. Affections and/or relationships will find the emo in you.

I wouldn't worry about it Dark Summoner. Who cares what they think. Besides, emos or whatever they call them (i've never heard of the phrase here in NZ) aren't at all that bad. From what I can gather, they are almost Goth but not quite, meaning they are the in between type. If their anything like Goths, then their not that much different from everyone here. All the Goths I know (including one of my best friends) are pretty normal people, its just their fashion thats different. I don't really see where people get all this stuff about Goths and Emos wanting to kill themselves. I've never known any like that.
Theres much worse things to be and to be called. Don't let it get you down :)

It is a type of rock which is also called Screamo.
Um No that's Screaming Emo music. My friends have a Screamo band and my other friends have a Punk band.

My motto: "It's Life deal with it everyone else has to."

Emo kids generaly wear tight pants and have black hair or they might have "dyke spikes" (sorry if that offended anyone but that's what we call them). I've mostly noticed that the are histronic in sadness. Alot of "Emo" kids seem to be depressed even they don't have any reason to be. Bu tyes there are people who tried to commit sucide, but they arn't really emo they are just depressed. I don't classify the truly depressed people with the fake depression people. I live in a small town, you know evrything about everyone here.

I have emo friends, goth, punk, prep, chavs, losers, and normal people. I don't care how you look it's just if your a good person or not.

What he was saying is that emo music is not screamo music much in the same way that all pants are not jeans... basically yes, there is emo and there is screamo, but screamo only covers the screaming emo music while there is still non-screaming emo music which is not screamo. This would mean that you can't call all emo music screamo.

Hope that makes things a bit clearer. I think I confused myself a bit while explaining it, for a second there. x_x

Well you're still in 2004. Emo stands for Emotional. It is a type of rock which is also called Screamo. It is also a fashion/ genre of people, like goth. Emo's fashion is a little like Goth without the massive eyeliner. Emo, as a genre, is bassically sad and may have some originations from the Goth genre. Like a Goth is always complaining about how life is a smurf hole and talk about dark/ evil things like killing people and blood. But an Emo complains about life aswell but in a sense of sadness. Usually heart breaks and such. Emo is the blue sad side of a person. Emo, in terms of fashion, is uhh..... umm... I can't really explain that. Sorry. But I hope I helped with the other bits of information I tried to lay out...

actually emo stands for emotional hardcore. and emo has been around since 1984 when a band called rites of spring started up and inpsired such bands as embrace and moss icon... and screamo is hardcore emo...like bands such as from a second story window and 12 stones...and emo is like goth in the sense of lonlieness..but gothic is more evil and emo is neutrallity...emo fashion is kinda like punk and kinda like gothic... usually tight jeans...died black hair (you usually do it yourself...i dye myself all by myself)...band tee's...either penny loafs or chuck t converse's...just ask me if ya need anything else cleared up...i know all about emo...slitting your wrists and being bi is the stupid emo sterotype...the people that think they are emo cuz their parents won't let them dye their hair and they listen to the used and my chemcial romance...those bands contrary to popular believe are not emo...
