Yeah I know what Emo music is and I know emo fashion. I know some Emo people but what is Emo lifestyle?

How would u define it?? I hear to many people complaining about it so I think it's only fair for a person that is emo to share their views.

Don't look at them if they bug you so fcuking much.

Like she said ^

Oh, I can't help you there. I'm only familiar with the genre of the music, and not terribly knowledgeable on the counter-culture social group.

it will die out soon.

I don't like it, but it doesn't bother me. Let them dress how they want.

^Same, I don't care. It's a fad, who cares who started it, who's mooching off of it, who's being a poser, who's being a copycat, does any of it really matter?

If it looks good on them, I like it. It's not that bad, I cut my own hair too, and it looks pretty good, it's not like an "emo" look or anything. Would you call this emo?


thats not me btw, thats some Japanese guitarist named Hiroto. People think he looks emo, but he's just a band member, and they dont even play emo music. A lot of people just use the look because it looks good on them, but they're not really "emo"

^No. Thats not emo. It looks more.....gothic to me.
I don't care for it. If people want to express their thoughts through clothing its their choice. We can't tell them to stop. They're not hurting anyone. [Probably themselves if they're emo.]

He's not even gothic, it's just a style, there are so many other pictures of him and other people, hardly any of them look the same, they change their style all the time, and thats just one of them

Well I was just taking a guess at it, I have really never heard of him. It looked grungy to me. But back to the topic, let the 'Emo' people live how they want. No need to label them.

^ I agree. If they want to be emo, let them. If they want to cut (although not all of them do) let them. We can HELP them and try to get them to stop the cutting and hopefully be less depressed, but we can't force them to. Besides, to the preppy people, they start saying shit about you when they hear you say shit about them. They'll be saying "Those preps are nothing but snobby rich kids," and stuff like that.

Everyone should remember this quote, it's very popular.
"Treat others they way you want to be treated."

I think the whole teen generation should be reminded of that quote.

wasnt into that crap to begin with.

but hey. whatever floats your boat. it diversifies (for some reason i feel akward about that word) the world. i mean, everyone's gotta be different.

emo people annoy the crap out of me especially the posers who act all depressed and crap they are all "omfg everyone hates me i want to die" well they are annoying and maybe they should die --- ops that was mean but they really annoy me and they call other people like preps and nerds and stuff but i know emo kids who get offended if your like "OH, EMO KID" well im going on and on

It's funny. They say they try to be original but they ALL END UP LOOKING EXACTLY THE SAME. That's what bugs me.

No, I'm not sick of it. I think it looks cool... it's sort of rebelling against the whole preppy world of sh*t...

ugh, i hate preppy stuff...

it's a way to not conform... unless of course you're cutting your hair like that specifically so you can be considered a nonconformist...

i, myself, don't like to conform. I just like what appeals to me, i do what i like to do.


thhhhhhhhat's a wrap

I love emo's boy's hair
just their pants
a little much, correct?

Yeah. Just let them live. Seriously, no need to label them. They're not any different from us. We're all humans.

yeah haha i actually think "emo kids" are more of conformists than other people are.

emo kids are like the rest of us.
so who really cares?
but what the point is
emo IS a genre of punk/rock music.
and for some reason it turnrd into a style...

Oh, I like the pants. :P

Although.. I don't know how much I'd like it if my boyfriend wore the same pants size as me.

My "emo" friend came with us to downtown last night and everyone EVERYONE would turn around to look at us. Not sure what they found so interesting about him. Sure his pants were tight but other than that it was nothing drastic. I don't know. I thought it was ridiculous. I hate living in the damn bible belt. So close-minded..

hey... anybody ever think of this?

maybe emo people are sick of "normal" (if that's how you might wanna refer to it... i prefer not to) people's style.

it's not like emos aren't entitled to their own opinions.

When almost everybody on MySpace is "emo" don't you think it's kind of "normal", usual, I would say.

yeah sometimes the pants are sexy :P :3
Just a little much.
but yeah that'd be weird.
but you could share jeans! :D :P

I don't wear girl pants. I wear fitted thighs and boot cut guy jeans. I wear pants that actually fit and I get called emo. Oh, and did I mention I really don't give a damn?

I think the look is great. People are so critical of it because, personally, I think they're a little envious of it because it really is hard to pull off and most people who tried to would look like shit. It's a lot harder to pull off then poppin' a polo. I used to dress like that... But, yeah, I'm not sick of the look at all. It's the most original look I've seen. Kids at my school all make their own necklaces and draw their own designs and stuff. I don't think I'm really emo or scene... I dress the way I want.

I seriously thought that 'Emo' was a subgenre of music. When did it turn into a fashion style?

i dont think. that its annoying.
but some of the hairstyles are really ugly.
and then people are just like.

OMFGZZ I LOVE YOUR HAIRR.

just because now, they are 'emo' because
they have an 'emo' haircut.


AND.

so what if they're depressed?
some people have feelings.

did you just call me a girl? and if so...i never posted some topic about hairstyles.

Emo, like Michael mentioned earlier, is emotive hardcore.

& people, there's a difference between scene & emo.

Emo kids are more in touch w/ their feelings. Maybe too much.
They'll usually wear darker clothes. Oh, & they wear hoodies a lot, too.
They supposebly enjoy writing poetry & listen to bands like Fall Out Boy, The Used, From First to Last, & Senses Fail.

Scene kids are pretty much obsessed w/ little kid things (Pokémon, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, etc).
They usually wear brighter colors & wear an excessive amount of makeup.
They don't put their hair in their faces, instead they usually cut the top of their hair & bleach the top of their hair blonde. idk how to explain it.
They also wear extra big sunglasses & supposebly enjoy photography.
They're mostly straightedge & listen to hardcore or post hardcore bands. Oh, & they usually put 4875038 bands on their music section on their myspace although they probably don't listen to most of them.

These are only from my observations, so don't expect it to be completely accurate, but from what I've seen, scene kids are trendier.

To me, the emo trend seems to be dying out & everyone has moved on to being scene.

Yes, it's annoying, but what can we do?

Hmm, I enjoy writing poetry and I listen to all the bands you listed. Actually, The Used and From First to Last are two of my favorite bands. Last time I checked, I wasn't emo.

*sigh* Kids and their stereotypes.

Who cares what people dress like today. And why is it only emo/scene people that get judged. there's other styles of cloths out today too. We don't go around bashing preppy people or gangsters. And how does hair make someone something eles? People are people, not some stupid lable...

the look doesn't bother me..it is just that some scene kiddies are total asses

personally, i'm not quite over it yet. scene kids should be allowed to look and dress they want to.

why do we not critisize the "preppy" look, or whatever other ways there are to dress out there? everybody has a unique style, i think it's about time to deal.

people definitely criticize the preppy look though...at least around here.

"stfu you homo with the pink popped collar from lacoste"
something like that.

What makes them posers? compaired to the others?

i can't really find a way to answer this cause i can't stand labels
everyone's there own person with unique styles, i'd hope
that's just my view

i am very convinced that i started a lot of trends.
haha. but its not true.
like. last july. i had an impulse to cut my hair.
seriously.
it was weird.

^

wait. what are you talking about? i'm confused. haha.
yeah.

what does the first part have to do with anything? the only thing in grammar that i don't give a shit about when i'm online is capitalization... it's not as important.

anyhow... you didn't exactly specify what "it" is (when you said, "it's a fad.") so i'm not exactly sure how to respond. do you mean the the emo thing is a fad, or that the "normal" way to dress is a fad?

THe whole emo scene is pretty stupid. i dont mean to bash anyone though. Its just .. . that the hair style for me is telling me that you need to find a stylist and get a haircut. My little brother went through the whole emo thing. I was always wondering if he was okay since his hair would cover his eyes. We all thought that the hair was getting in his way and was distracting him form school. atleast no he finally cut his hair.

all the scenesters look like they'd smell like period every day

^lol..i find that comment quite funny

I'm sick of it.

^sick of what? People expressing themselves in their own way?



It’s a style. Why can't people dress the way they feel most comfortable in and just live their life? Why is it such a big deal?

It isn't considered expressing yourself in your own way when you're following some trend.

^tread aren't a form of expression

they're not necessarily following a trend.

you wear your hair the way you want and you pick out cloths that fit your best interest, even if it happens to be trendy. That is expressing yourslef. i guess in your own way wasn't what i was trying to say.

i love shaggy hair and tight pants but not only "scene" kids wear them. Fashionable people wear them, too. Pete Doherty, DUHHH. how hot.
