Emo is like Goth only with shitty music ??
they all express their indivisuality by all dressing in a uniform of black, wearing make up and hanging about town, snearing at people?
I wish my grass was emo, because then it would cut itself.

So, are today's "Emo" kids, the same kids that in my day were called "Alternative?"
These were kids that our parents thought were punk rockers, but they weren't. They weren't exactly Goth either. But they changed their hair color every other day, shopped exclusively at second-hand stores (and not nice ones), listened to bands no one had ever heard of, and tried very hard to seem depressed and misunderstood. Oh, and they would not be friends with anyone other than their fellow "Alternatives." |

If emo means emotional ? and I may be wrong ??
Surely emotional, comes from emotion and there is a huge range of emotions like happiness for instance and if so why aren't there gang's of emo rockers stalking the street with huge smiley t-shirts being nice to people ??

| my friend and i had this conversation and if emo means emotional like you reckon as well Dubz, then wouldn't all music be emo? i'm sure fans of whatever genre are all affected emotionally to certain songs. i dunno. i'm confused by the whole 'emo' thing. for instance, how are fallout boy emo? granted, "annoyed" would be the primary feeling whenever one of their songs is on. |

It's obviously an emo thing, you just don't "get" it, tut, no-one understands it except true emos.
I personally think it should be re-branded stroppy fucking adolescent teenager music!!!
and btw it's nothing new, you emo fucks, Morrissey did it, The Cure did it. and probably loads of other artist before them, boo hoo nobody understands my feelings, to quote another boardie, GO FUCKING GROW A PAIR!! and stop fucking whining.
