Emo: Is it just a fashion?

yeah, the bad part is that some people will keep it and strenghten it, seeing someone who tells you creepy stuff and says undeciphrable crap only they understand is not easy to ignore (I have a now emo former friend)

Yeah, they say all these "sublime" crap about how they're going to end their lives while my patience is being tested... I never whine about emos until they actually get into my nerves... but they do so 110% of the time. They make my blood boil especially the mainstream shallow crap.

yeah, that emo guy ruined a party I had once, he started making calls, talling us the definition of something, speaking alone, and of course, making up 110 ways to kill himself, we ended up locking my room so he couldnt get in and spoil the rest of the night, I can't believe he used to be my friend

Those are goths.

Emos cry like there's no tomorrow. They cry about everything useless.

Where I live, there's no difference between emos and goths...they've morphed together and created a new and frightening breed of person.

Emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music. Use of the term (and which musicians should be so classified) has been the subject of much debate.

In its original incarnation, the term "emo" was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s DC scene and its associated bands. In later years, the term "emocore", short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it. The term "emo" was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and literally emotional during performances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Grey Matter, Fire Party and slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.

Emo was once a real genre of music. Emo is dead. I love Grey Matter and Moss Icon. Those guys are great. I do like some of the new stuff. MCR and The Used (now labeled 'emo' by the 12-year-old girls who like them not for the music but because 'bert n gerard r hawt lolz im so awsum! look at my aolspeek!11111oneeleventyfortytwo111!!!'). But those guys aren't even remotely like old emo in the first place.
One thing for everyone who is emo in the new sense of the word because it's 'cool'...quit whining...some people actually have problems in their life worth whining about.
 
Emo
We want to be different so we'll try this emo thing, which is like the new goth except the old "goth" is still around so it's just stupid. And there's millions of us emo kids but when someone makes fun of them they get pissy and complain that no one "understands" them. Then they'll go home and listen to emo music, which is the same thing as pop music except it has lyrics about being sad. Now, there's nothing wrong with sad lyrics, but it's the fact that they're oh so simple: "I'M NOT OOOOOOKKAAAAYYY I PROOMISSE". Oh, how moving. You should win the award for "lyrics-that-any-bored-12-year-old-can-write-but-YOU-cashed-in-on-it-cause-it's-the-flavor-of-the-month."

To tell you the truth, the lyrics of some of MCR's old stuff are so much better than that 'I'm Not Okay'...it could be parodying the whole emo genre.

Sorry for getting a bit offtopic, just making a statement. I already stated my opinion. =/
 
My opinion: Emo kids are whiners who crave for attention. They feel the need to casue drama just so people will give them attention
 
You guys are being kinda harsh. My best friend's an emo, and she's the greatest person I've ever met. She's not a whiner; she's really fun and has a good sense of humor. I dunno much about the majority, but from her I really don't think they're as bad as you say.

Here come the flames....

You do realize we're being so very stereotypical, right?

Then she's not emo...

Emos are like... "boohoo, the world hates me and no one understands me" and that kind of crap... >>
 
Honestly, I like the emo look for some reason. Parts of it I guess. Black band shirts~ black hair~ not so much the uber tight pants.

I have like three friends who call me emo kid~ but they really don't know what they're talking about XD I can't remember the last time I cried ^^; Yeah~ I do like ... rant and whine in my blog. But it's sad how stretched the emo def has gotten. Pretty much there's the EMO MUSIC, the EMO PERSONALITY and the EMO LOOK. I have two [female] friends who like the music and look~ they're really emo. But they don't cry.

I think that emo guys who cry with their boyfriends are pathetic. I like the more music-look oriented emo who's straight. ;D That's cool I guess.

I'm not as hard on them as you guys obviously~

And I think there's some merit to being dark without going goth. Personally, gothic people go way beyond emos, and end up antisocial. Emo is half as dark and half as antisocial. Much more tolerable.
 
Emo is not a fashion. It is a disease, a cancer of modern popular culture. It is a plague, and, personally, I don't know what the cure for it is (other than boycotting Hot Topic, rounding up suspected emo kids in concentration camps, and ordering death warrants for certain bands). XD

There is no cure for Emo. It is like trying to change someone's mind about something, which is one of the hardest things to do. Emo's here, and it's here to stay.

Go Go Emo Rangers!!! Mighty Moshin' Emo Rangers!!!
 
This is only partially about music, so why is it in OE? o_o; </ot>

Emo has become an overused label today. Things or people that could normally be described as sensitive are apparently now emo. So yes, mankind has screwed up yet another logical definition!

I assure you in a while people will be into something else.

After all, the Disco Days are long gone.

I disagree, the gangsta would trip over their clothes 15 sizes too big, while the emo in his tight clothes could vanquish him with his self-mutilation instruments.

Reviving an old point...

I disagree. Baggy clothes provide more mobility than tight-fitting ones; the gangsta would be more than able to dodge the emo's feeble attacks and deal some of his own before the emo could react. In addition, an emo wouldn't know how to wield a razor offensively; after all, he uses it only to cut himself. The gangsta would just cut down the emo with a Tec-9 or a GLOCK 17 before he could close in with his dull razors.
 
Emo is probably the worst thing to happen to music in a long time, it is just a bunch of people complaing about how there girl freinds left them while wearing womens clothing and make up. It is not really a fashion statement
