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....
lol, thats a contradiction in itself really.Quote:

I have a freind we call Emo. But he ins't Emo. Just like my friend Hippie who isn't a hippie :D OR my friend Slimmy that well isn't too slim.
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....
Everything except the glasses...
Im wearing baggy grey jeans covered in patches, black tshirt, black vneck, a few pink and black wristbands and pink sneakers with black laces... so i suppose that clears it up.. cool... thanks shlup..
I had chavs calling me a 'mosher' lately. I don't know which insult is worse.
What's insulting about it....?
The fact that such a dirty, worthless lifeform manages to call me such a word and get away with it.
Maybe if you all stopped fussing so much about chavs they might leave you alone? :p
If that logic were to work they'd all have died out by now.
Well it seems to be a problem only in the UK so maybe everyone else just figured it out :pQuote:

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.
Emo emus. xD
Emo's are people who enjoy listening to Emotionally charged Punk Rock.Quote:

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.
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?Quote:

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.
I like AFI... lost all my Mp3s though...
Buy there cds then :p. PS The art of drowning > all ;)
well they rnt like full emo but yeh , do u happen to like any of these bands - The Used, My Chemical Romance, Funeral For a Friend, Alkaline Trio, Thursday, cus lots of ppl consider them emo
anyway i hate the word 'emo' noone even really knows what it means
Exactly :D

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.
The internet is not just for porn anymore. It's for emo too now, aka Myspace. :p

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

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...
This thread is emo.
Furthermore, slitting of the wrist causes you to lost a lot of function in the had of the wrist you slit, because, besides slicing through veins, you slash through tendons. I think it's a fair trade for surviving stupidity.

I'm suprised no one has posted this yet.
*mildish lyrics*
Those people remind me of my sister, but seriously lifes a bitch and then you die.
I believe most people who don't follow through with suicide do it for the attention, especially by those close to them. If someone really wanted to die they'd follow through.
Kinda like Danny Bonaduce?Quote:

And my only comment about the cutting picture :
Attention seeker, 110%.
Just because I make out with 5 guys doesnt mean I'm gay. I must be emo.
You're just bi-curious!
xDDDDD @ FM's reply.
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.
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.
You tell em' Lindy :D
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...
I cant stand emos just cuz they are so damn sad all the time... if your life is that bad stop pretending to slit your wrists for attention and actually do it... i have nothing against them as people just the way they act and pretend they are so miserable and that the men wear makeup
That is so not funny.....
I was trying to point out to PiP that anytype of selfharm is anything but funny. Can we go back on topic now...?
Wow, you're all being real assholes. Suicide is not something to joke about. And if I have to go head-on with the site staff about this, then so be it.
Yes, it's not funny - it's pathetic.Quote:
Don't joke about it. it's not funny.
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.Quote:
Suicide is not something to joke about.
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[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]' way. However, that's past tense. I'm now happy with life. I have an amazing girlfriend, and it's going okay.Quote:

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 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.Quote:

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.Quote:
and it's the truly-depressed people I'm concerned about
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.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:

Like people have said, don't worry about it. Chav's called me a goth once, they think people are funny if they're not chav's :rolleyes2
I'm Emo. ^___________________^

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.Quote:

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.
Interesting you should point that out with your happiness. I think many a suicide attemptee can relate to that. Funny how that works out.Quote:
I'm now happy with life. I have an amazing girlfriend
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 :)
Um No that's Screaming Emo music. My friends have a Screamo band and my other friends have a Punk band.Quote:

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.

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...Quote:
