Bad EMO, bad Options

[KielReese]

Why do people keep using EMO as an excuse for a way of being as a lifestyle. Its nothing. Its the new fad, just like torn jeans in the 90's, and hair in the 80's. More or less just a word

Your either emotional or your not. Just a short way of saying that. And for people that read this and think "No Kiel, emo includes other stuff like hurting yourself, loneliness, heartache and crying all the time", no you guys/girls thats what the world calls depressed & heartbroken.

I am basically making this thread as an older male just listening to all these newer kids say they are EMO and 97% of them think its like an excuse to be sad and that they like become something else. Well I am one to say your not getting anymore attention from me than a happy person. I dont need to listen to some kid say hes/shes EMO when they simply make pills for depression and these attention "go-getters"

Some of you will agree and some of you will prolly go the exact opposite but thats why I posted this. I posted this to say just cut it out.

I don't wanna have to explain to another teenager that says "Oh man Im going to become an EMO". No buddy your already depressed So you can easily say your going through a "depression stage" cause theres no such thing as becoming an "EMO".

Hope ya'll see my side of it. And before you all jump to conclusions. I myself am a pretty emotional person, I just dont like it when people use it it get attention, so this post isn't and argument or anything. Think of it more or less as a cry for help to the people who understand what I mean.

Yeah, ok well here goes:

Why exactly do you call yourself 'emo' and not 'depressed'?

Depression is not ANYTHING like emotional. Everyone is "EMO" at at point in their lives. EMO people are practicly ALWAYS emotional. We, sorta, have a different perspective on life.

Why do you feel the need to stereotype yourself?

Define "STERIOTYPE" please!

I feel like you guys are making fun of US (and yes, there is an US) because of what we act like. Like KielReese said EVERYONE is emotional but its the people who are emotional ALL THE TIME that are REAL emo people.. like me!

rawr SOCK: thanks for the comment that we CAN be emo, but if you people (non-emos) don't like us being emo, then I think you should meet some NEW people. But, no, Im not being immature, I am trying to make a piont. I wouldnt mind actually having a debate on this. I think we should see how many different perspectives there are. OVERACTING?
Oh I am NOT overacting, like i said, I am trying to make a point!

You people?

I think this topic just went prejudice. And believe me it wasnt here before.

Dont bother debating, the world has a higher % ratio of happy people in it. So its a known fact that the stage "EMO" isnt a stage, you cannot become an emo, people are just emotional. You cannot decide one day you will just start to be EMO.

You are either born emotional or your not. Its not a phase nor stage to choose its a chemical imbalance in your brain that causes it. So theres no turning point ever.

Score 1.
