Thanks for listening if you do haha and feel free to discuss :D

Well I watch many music videos of bands i enjoy such as Alesana, From First To Last, etc.

And all i see is posts from complete morons commenting about how they are emos and how they cut themselves.

I get sick of this stereotype day after day, its ridiculous, just because you listen to that type of music makes you emo and being emo means you cut yourself?
its the most ridiculous thing iv ever heard

Alright, Urbandictionary ftw.

Scene=a person who is assoiciated with the modern music scene, usually being hardcore/punk rock type music. Pays close attention to the latest fashion trends and usually tries to make their own. Usually has a myspace featuring dinosaurs guns etc. Usually has Long hair on guys and shorter hair on girls which is usually died different colors. Sometimes they are very elitist especially to youths who copy their personal styles. Some fashion trends of scene kids are girl pants, band tee shirts, bandanas, vans, converses, shirts with dinosaurs/guns etc, large sunglasses, polka dots, head bands, large jewelry.

Emo=Person who listens to emotional music, and usually cry and dont mosh at their concerts. Kinda of like goths but less ugly and more emotional. Usually rant about how unfair the world is and how their last boyfriend/girlfriend was the only one they will ever love. Many jokes about them being suicidal but mainly they are doing it for attention.

Many people confuse scene kids and emos b/c they wear similiar clothing and sometimes have similiar styles. Both wear small band tee's they buy at their concerts even though they like different music. Some scence guys wear girl pants as well as some emos making them even more easily confused.

Scence kids and emo kids are very different mainly in the type of music they like and their outlook on life in general. Scence kids are fun and usually are at local concerts/parties. Emo kids are sad and usually stay at home and write poetry and check their myspaces.
Are you emo now?

Well, claiming the band cut themselves and that listening to them means you do to is ridiculous, yeah.

But the super stereotypical oOTT emo generally does like to pretend they have near suicidal problems. Sometimes resulting in self harm. So long as people like this seek attention the stereotype will always exist.

^ What he said. As long as there are people out there who fit the stereotype, the stereotype will always exist.

Of course people with slightly more intelligence are aware that not EVERYONE who listens to that sort of music is depressed to the verge of self-harm, just a shame the interwebz idiots outweight those who have wits about them.

The same idiots who assume everyone who is suicidal is a angsty emo kid too.

Thats what really grinds my gears, is how suicidal people are always bunched together under those stereotypes, when the people who catagorise them probably know nothing about their reasons for wanting to end it.

whoever says that Alesana and FFTL are Emotive Hardcore is pretty stupid, they're nowhere close to being Emo. More like Post-Hardcore. In my opinion I dont think anyone can be Emotive Hardcore

Who cares?! Like.. not to say it in a mean way.. but if someone calls you emo and claims that you cut yourself probably means that they honestly have nothing better to do than bully and stick some sort of stereotype on you. And honestly, you shouldn't care what they think, because they're not worth your time.

So next time they claim that you're an emo say "Yes, I am. Are you jealous?" Or make a joke out of it, like "Yeah I'm emo, so go away so I can cut myself alone." (And yeah I understand cutting yourself is a serious situation, but in this case, I think sarcasm would work well as a retort) (And for anyone else who's gonna hound on me, it's the fact that I realize that I'm sarcastic and that it's a serious issue that makes it fine to use as a comeback.)

See? Even I have to do it, or I might get some random kid saying "Blah blah you're a bad person making fun of a serious issue, blah blah" and don't even realize that I'm just here to help out a fellow member at PC (you)~

So yeah.. that's just my two cents.
