BTW....just for the record I am in no way emo. Although alot of "emo" girls, (who are just white girls looking for attention) are very HOT. We need pics <br> No, but for the record I do think that most "emo" kids have some form of ADHD or related disorders. The immaturity level of a good amount of these kids is unbelieveable. And as im saying this....Panic at the Disco starts randomly playing on my Pandora radio . aaghhh!!!
http://www.amazon.com/Nothing-Feels-Good-Punk-Teenagers/dp/0312308639 read this book. actually, like a lot of things in my life, i never finished it. I have observed this trend since 2000 maybe. Around 2003, I noticed it became poseur-ish, and i see more Tools.
thats the best explaination i got. i learn something new everyday. i thought those kids were just goth/punk mix. oh well.
I like how you threw out #10 even though it really doesn't fit in with the rest of these things you listed, lol.

If it weren't for guy's treating b****es like s-h-it throughout centuries of civilization, then you wouldn't have this sort of teen angst problem or any in general... Yall gotta be like me maan, I treat my girl like Cleopatra and she gives me pleasure in my pants like epcot center at world disney... GUYS ARE f-u-king dumb period.... Be like me man, the asian contamination....
rofl....afi, coheed and cambria, and my chemical romance are definitely not emo. I can see your argument for afi and to a lesser extent my chemical romance...but seriously if you think coheed and cambria is emo you're r****ded. coheed is progressive rock...mcr is basically punk...and afi is...afi.
I think that is the case with my nieces too. I know that they don't actually cut themselves. They are just rich white kids who want to act tough and to fit into a social group. I also know that their parents unfortunately don't give them that much attention cause they have 3 kids and both work full time. I agree with you that most punk/goth girls are Hot. I think a part of that is because you know they are so vulnerable. I feel kinda bad/dirty for saying that about teenage girls though (I'm 23). Either way here is the pic you requested. that was funny
<br> The thing is, it's not just the 16 year old high school girls. It's also the 18, 19, 20, and sometimes even older girls who are that way. Whatever, alot of them just make my job easier by craving attention <br> I don't know about goth girls though.....something about that whole style/mentality has always turned me off.....
What makes these people different from the ones who listened to The Cure back when I was in High School?
Nothing? Originally emo didn't have this bizarre goth connection that has apparently grown out of southern californian boys' inescapable desire to don eyeliner, and lots of it. LAY OFF THE MAKEUP, SIR. YOU LOOK FOOLISH. When I was in college, the hot emo bands were Sunny Day Real Estate, Built to Spill, Planes Mistaken for Stars, and Jimmy Eat World. Rumor had it that if you were really hardcore emo, you cried at shows. I don't really know when this pop trash by the makeup boys started being called emo, but I don't really care, either. Kids are r****ds.
Didn't know emo was so closely related to cutting, but I'm a grownassman and don't personally know any emonians. Thought it was just shoegazer fashion. Did a quick listen (youtube) to some of the bands named in the thread. Death Cab, Panic! and ...."Know how I know your gay?" came to mind. I do get the feeling that listening to this can make you a cutter once you realize you have no taste.
Speaking of which.. did anyone else here thought that new Matchbox 20 song, "How far we've come" was made by some EMO band?
