Ok… emo kids?! Whats up with that!
Firstly I never noticed it was like a *community* of upset people with more problems than ur grandma has illnesses, and secondly I never realised that they were a problem until once upon a time….

I was discussing tatoos (uncool btw) and then the subject of piercings came up… I mentioned to my friend that I always thought lip piercings were kinda cool, and he went “what, just a little bit to the left/right???” which was actually what I had in mind. At this point he became angry, very angry, and upset also. I didnt understand, he was laughing at my love for the lip piercing… he explained that it was the symbol of all things emo and that I should never admit to my love for it, but I was confused! So Paul did his emo impression: studded belt, trucker hat, crying because the whole world is against him, parents hate him, its raining he’s cold, he’s going to play with peoples emotions in his songs on his concept album of being sad… blah blah blah etc oh, and he has his lip pierced a little to the side, and his hair slicked down in front of his eyes so he cant see and its not fair.
Erm never actually heard of these emo people before, and heck whats wrong with them?
so I was a little freaked out at this point. I never knew! I know no emo kids and so I just missed out on all this and it went over my head. Although come to think of it, I saw the holiday plan and there were a lotta kids fitting this description!

Secondly, now we have identified the species I wanna know whats wrong with it?!
I mean Im not emo or anything (as far as I can tell…!) but I just don’t get why everyone hates them. You mention emo to anyone and you get abuse!

The only other piece of info I have managed to gleam is that in Australia lostprophets are wannabe (American) emo kids or something along those lines according to my aussie mate.
“Hi we’re lostprophets from….America…”
