Question:, Why do... Options

[StandardEdition]

People hate emo kids so much?

I can't understand that, why is it bad to be emo?

[LoveToMySilas]

I don't think its the fact that they hate emo kids, they always fine amusement in making fun of them. In fact...I don't think people even know what emo is anymore.

[Smarmosaur]

people can't be "emo"...
it's just a fad-it'll pass. the majority of people are retards these days, hence the stupid "emo" BS.

[icecreamisyummy]

yea i think its just a fad

Emo is a kind of music. Is it possible for people to be a kind of music? No. So they're using the word wrong in the first place.

I feel like "emo" kids can't get over themselves. They go on about how they cut themselves and how depressed they are when in fact, they probably don't cut themselves and don't need clinical help. In turn, they give a bad name to people who actually are clinically depressed.

It's just annoying.

[StandardEdition]

Yeah it seems that way. Is that why people like hate them?
And I have another question if anyone want to answer.
What are scene kids? lol

punk is a kind of music and ppl still call other punk kids...

[Smarmosaur]

punk is a kind of music and ppl still call other punk kids...

that's because punk is a culture, too-it always has been. but kinda like "emo", too many people think they're "punk" just by the music they listen to. punk is a lot worse of a thing than most people realize. but yeah, it's culture.

[mytangerine]

it's a kind of music, not just what some people decide to call themselves & play dress up to prove. i happen to enjoy emo music a lot, not so much the so called fashion statements & persona going along with it, or at least not the overly exaggerated types. i do like myself some skinny jeans, volcom & eyeliner, but i keep it low key.. & i don't brag & lie about cutting myself so i better suit the image. i also don't dress like that all the time on purpose so that people don't call me emo.

I don't hate emo kids, some of the things they do, I really don't agree with.

people cannot be emo.

Some people believe they can be emo. So they try to live that life because they "think" it's cool.

I've been called emo but I don't wanna try to live that life I just like to dress tha way and I can't help it if I'm obsessive[which most 'emo' peopel are].

Dressing emo isn't a bad thing. I notice they have a certain style. But acting emo(I just call it that) is another story.

[StandardEdition]

nobodys answering my question
lol.
I know what emo is
I just wanna know why its bad
or why people seem to not like them

[LoveToMySilas]

You know what I don't get? If people can be classified as punk or goth, why hasn't emo or rock been considered?

[1angel3]

Well people just think they're sad, and depressing. I heard people say they wish emo kids would get over their selves. Another, they think the cry a lot.

[1angel3]

One time I thought it was. I always hear, "Your so emo", and "I'm so emo", and emo this, emo that. I'm just tired of hearing it.

[Smarmosaur]

^ furreal tho.

no! once again, punk has always been a culture. it was a culture before music.

and punk/"goth/gothic" is almost as bad as "emo".
they're all stupid fad stereotypes. there's not enough people with brains left in this world to realize it's all stupid bullcrap.

it hasnt always been that way.

[Smarmosaur]

i know;
the more technology advances, the lazier we get, the more problems we have, the more people we want to blame stuff on, the more economic problems we have, the more societal problems we develop...
we can't even be considered a society anymore. and it's funny how we want to blame other things/people-it's our own damn faults. people do try to fix things, you know-there just happens to be more retards than brains.
it's just a vicious circle and nobody can realize it.

[edit-damn that was a major babble.]

lol
kids

[Bonobo]

Because emo kids are basically just kids in Middle School and High School that pretend to be suicidal for attention. For example they run to a kitchen at a friends knife and say "I'm going to cut myself." Theres a difference between being depressed since emo kids show off their cuts. If they want to be in the style though without being fake, taht being scenexcore brah! lol

People don't make fun of me since they consider me scene since I don't march around claiming i want to kill myself.

[StandardEdition]

makes sense lol.
thanks your the only one who actually answered my question.

Mmm, so true. It's very much middle class teens with comfortable lives making a big song and dance about their non-existant angst.

BUT emo has progressed from a genre of (awful) music to an entire scene and culture of stripes, black hair dye and teeny weeny jeans.

Bah.

[synthase]

Yes, it did start from music I believe.
But I hate how these emo kids are just doing what they're doing for attention. I used to know this emo kid and she would ALWAYS write fake suicidal notes onto her xanga. Stuff like "This is my last xanga post ever, because I will be gone forever blah blah blah run in front of a car blahb lah" and she once even faked that she drank vodka..

[stephinika]

I don't like 'emo kids' because my personal definition of emo kids, like some have said, are the ones that do stuff purely for attention and nothing is serious. Yes, it started as a music genre but it sadly has become what we know it as today, another kind of attention-grabbig stereotype.
