It's been a while. It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here. Or at least it could be. To be AN EMO thread, we need all the old crew. Where are they?
Today's little bitch-on is about emo KIDS.
Why are they so annoying?? They're everywhere, from London to Newcastle to Leeds to Liverpool. They don't even listen to EMO music, they just THINK they do. The sad fact is that they honestly think that My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Thursday, Funeral for a Friend and Senses Fail (etc) is emo and amazing when it's just all complete shite. These people think it's cool to cut themselves. They think it's cool to load a load of facial shrapnel into a cannon and blast it allover their face. They think it's cool to wear girls jeans, get impulse-tatoos and drink loads of Vodka for no reason at all, and they think they are misunderstood and "have issues" because their parents don't understand them and tell them off for dressing like complete idiots and playing their rubbish music too loud, and for having "serious relationships" from the age of 14, and "loving your friends" so much that when one annoys you, you can slag them off from the security of Myspace. They are spoilt little retards.
And they have no origonality. Below are some images nabbed from myspace. THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME.
Another startling thing is that they seem to take pride in being very WRONG. Loads of them have stupid, stupid things like Pro Plus in their lists of favourite things. What the hell are they doing taking that??? The only people who need that is people who live heavy, stressful lives, working around the clock whereever they work because they have no other option. School kids, who are in school for around six hours a day DO NOT NEED it, and it's a bit worrying that so many of them seem to think they're "mature" because they "need" Pro Plus. It's pathetic, infact its all part of their attention seeking schemes. Take for example the fact that they all listen to the same rubbish music, they wear the same clothes and that they all are self-involved. Why?? Is that to hide insecurity or what? Why must they always follow the crowd and like things for the sake of fitting into an overwhelming minority in order to feel accepted and establish an identity, yet ironically they become invisible in the process, becoming Emo Kid A and Emo Kid B, and Emo Kid's Emo Friend.
Ah yes, faux emo. "Emo" is Weezer, Bright Eyes. Taking Back Sunday. Brand New. Jimmy Eat World. (I admit out of them TBS do seem to attract a large amount of low lives because of the connections with Victory Records). How many Bright Eyes fans do you see going around in huge groups of bottomless black, with unnessecary amounts of eyeshadow (especially the males)? None. Very few. Sparingly distributed. Yet, play any rubbish to these people and they jump on them and adopt them as their favourite band, because their really cool vodka addict mate does. They even idolise incredibly stupid people. Gerard Way became addicted to energy pills. ENERGY PILLS?? For doing what?? Sod all. Talk to, say, I'm going to pick someone that I don't like for a different reason.. KEANE. Take Keane for example. Interview them about their music. They can tell you with reasonable detail and charisma what their songs are about, when they stemmed back to, what inspired them. Despite being bland, they KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. Then talk to someone from The Bled, and all you get is "wooaah dude I was soooo drunk when we wrote it.. I can't remember very well cause I was STONED but it's about a friend who betrayed me and left me feeling useless, it's a really PERSONAL SONG, dude, you know?!" Oh PLEASE the only thing about it that's personal is that you wrote it. There's nothing in there that's worth the recycled silicon that it will inevitably be burned on for years to come, because he looks quite fit like.
Stupid morons. Are they just the opposite end of the common-spectrum as charves?
i just don't understand the
appeal of drainpipes.
they're HOT
with two t's.
on some people
yeah, they look good.
Hatred
Gerard Way is a Clunt. But I do like ProPlus, it's wicked.
I even prefer the Arctic Monkeys wannabe scenester fans to Emo Girls.
As the Honda ad goes "Hate Something, Change Something". Let's convert the Emo Kids. I'm High Priest Converter.
I
3> them. I'm scrapping all my 'slightly baggy' River Island ones ASAP.
The truth about MySpace
http://www.drunkreport.com/myspace.htm
they'll grow out of it
well, the fashion aspects at least. counting dependency on drugs as aspirational is a more dangerous path to choose.
of corse theyll grow out of it
remeber about 5 years ago with all the Limp Bizkit nu metal wannabees. You dont see that many people with baseball hats and wallet chains now? I bet you that at least half of the nu metal cru are now part of the emo scene.
That take long? :P
I'd rather listen to Thursday than Keane though. And Keane don't really know what they're doing, and I can't believe you used the words "Keane" and "charisma" in the same sentence!
But yeah, generally a good rant.
I was curious about what this referred to though:
"they think it's cool to load a load of facial shrapnel into a cannon and blast it all over their face"
That sounds like quite an image but I've never seen an emo kid do this :D
..
I was going on about the twelve lips rings, five nose studs, 4 ear flesh tunnels and bridge piercing.
There was a one on the metro opposite me last night and he had a bolt through his forhead.
No- really, Keane are really nice people, just, theyr should never have been musicians.
Pro
Plus
I
agree with you.
I had something a little similar to that rant on my MySpace page. Some wanker read it, and sent me an abusive message, written like a baby ("why does indie mean shit or not, coz yesthankyou i am emo and yes i wear makeup and yes...").
My reply to him was so good, HE ended up apologising to ME.
You're right, but I've come to the conclusion we should leave 'em alone. Yeah, have a rant about them, but do not stare or look interested at them.
The one thing they thrive on is attention. Its why they dress like girls, smell like girls, and kiss eachother so much. I know these kids. You see them at school. They are the kinds of people that have absolutely nothing to offer on any front. They aren't interesting at all. Every child wants a certain amount of attention. They haven't had any yet. They see becoming 'emo' as the perfect oppurtunity to become talked about.
But how can you define 'emo' music? Its a genre you can argue about. I see emo as a few things. Its stop-start scratchy guitars with one long massive drum roll, and some screaming American singer. But its also some transvestite stood onstage talking about the bleeding of his teenage heart, whilst a lot of early Bright Eyes is emo. Especially the stuff where he cries...
Emo is the wrong word to describe it though. Why 'emo'? 'Emotional'? In that case, every band who's written a love song, is emo, right?
Its all SHITE.
and also
when people are depressed and going through a hard time, they are simply brushed off as emo
Not by me.
I see it as a kiddies' fad. A trend to follow. Not a state of mind at all. If someone's crying, it's a fact they're getting "emotional", but not in the context "emo" is used (unless they begin wearing make-up and talking like a yank).
'emo'
is originally short for 'Emotional Hardcore'.
i have no opinion, due to my vacuous nature
but I love you loque.
I love you big.
ahahaha
I think you have a lot of bottled up anger. Seriously. S
Goddam
Shut up! im so fed up of people making ridiculously generalised associations.
AAAAAARGH!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i Like certain
tunes because i like them, for no other reason than the act that i LIKE THEM. so stoP OVER ANALYSING AND SAYING CERTAIN FANS ARE WHATEVER COS ITS A LOAD OF CRAP!
.
It's not. Your oppinion is overwhelmingly eclipsed by everyone elses here.
You have to see the pattern, surely?
Caps Lock issues?
.
"SAYING CERTAIN FANS ARE WHATEVER"
Pffft.. She hasnt even read it.
#they'll get their come-uppance
When they realise that they've ruined their ears.
one point
you should probably swap Thursday and Taking Back Sunday around in your rant.
compare, waiting and full collapse to the first two taking back sunday albums and youll know what i mean.
another (more shallow) point
why do emo *and* indie kids wear insanely tight spray on trousers ???
i've yet to see one who looks anything other than ridiculous in them.
Thursday are definitely emo.
1000000%
the men emo kids
wear women jeans.
I have worn women's jeans...
So has Tom.
He just randomnly informed me. TRUE STORY
Me too
probably cos
there cheaper, and they need more money to spend on their haircuts.
Do
you think I should examine Thursday then??
Hmmm.
yes
.
I have done.
Consider that rectified.
i'm confused.
" They think it's cool to ... drink loads of Vodka for no reason at all"
you never need a reason for vodka!
i think
emo girls look hot!
whoop!
even the fat ones?
no
but the hot ones look HOT!
.
Some of them do. But most of them look like they've been beaten up.
emos stink
they think they're so alternative but they're actually everywhere. And they think their lives are so hard when they're actually spoilt brats. And they listen to shit music.
WHO FUCKING CARES?
who
do you guys on dis thinks nicer people chaves or emo pepole??
yet again
WHO FUCKING CARES?
aren't you banned yet?
....
I get bewildered by people who claim to be emo's...
The first rule of emo club is to deny membership of emo club.
.
Do you think we should have some back alley- hideout where we go and hold eachother?.
Nice myspazz photo, Fully. Now you are complete.
.
You suck.
wow
i cant beleive this goddamn emo thing is still here, my bro started it like a year ago
he was honest boris btw
.
You should be proud of anyone who started something that ended up 700 posts long.
Then it was banned, for being 700 posts long.
Thom
:(
.
How are my wooden paint-proof statues coming on then??
No mahogany mind.
Quick capsule summary or loque's essay
because I can't be bothered to read it...
Emo kids are shits: DiScuss.
