Yes thats right, i don't like them and i think i can say i hate them.
1.- They are the bastard son of Gothic and punk ass rape.
In the meaning that they are taking the little "trendy" bits of two great subcultures that actually did a change in many different ways before, this emo stuff, is doing nothing.
2.- Suddenly if you ______ it means you are emo.
Yes, face it, you do something, it doesn't matter what and you hear, "thats so emo" or "you are so emo" it doesn't matter if its good or bad. If i cry i get called emo, but of course i cry, i'm a beyond a sensible girl with a really bad depression problem. and beat it, you get that one too.
3.- The music sucks.
To be honest, i try to do my best and try to listen to every new band i find, mainstream or not, but sadly, lately all this bands sounds about the same, same songs about same things, just different words with a guy wearing thighier pants so they can sound different just by having their testicles stocked and crushed into their asses. Also, why the stupid long band names?, it doesn't make them any memorable at the end.
4.- They are walking jokes.
They are making a bad name to Bisexuality just to start, pretending they hit both ways just to get some "fame", sexuality is not a thing you decide because you want people to look at you, is something you feel, on top of that, i hate when guys call themselves hardcore and straight and next thing you see is a my space or vampirefreaks picture of them making out or pretending they are making out with other guy. But actually most of those guys will say something like "ew, thats so gay!" or "fucking homo" if they get hit by some other guy. I don't believe in bisexuality thanks to people like that, and sadly most of my friends call themselves "bi" and out of 15 i can say just one is an that the other one may or may not be lesbian.
Sexuality is not a game you idiots.
5.- Hair and make-up.
This one goes for the boys and girls. I know in today's world you have to look good but actually to get a job, something most of this kids obviously don't, i don't know how you find time to wake up every morning and straight your hair enough to make yourself look "different" from the others when you actually look all the same, and make up, i do like make up, i do make up and i want to be a make up artist, but honestly, i can't find time to do it everyday and look like i just got it all the time, yes, i love heave look, yes i love dark look, but when i actually find the time to get some heavy dark make up, i try to think a new twist at least for a change because there isn't much you can do with eye shadow. If you want people to take you serious, try to don't look so self-absorved, the mirror doesn't likes you either.
6.- Piercings.
I will only say, get a limit for it, no it doesn't makes you look hardcore if you have 17 all over your face, it only makes you look stupid or that daddy gave you money. oh by the way, it applies for tattoos too, a tattoo won't make you hardcore or bad ass, neither 30, i have one, and i'm as hardcore as a sleepy kitten and i have several piercings and i'm only hardcore because they are actually a good reason for my boyfriend to touch my lips, that was a smart move, but i got them 2 years before i even know he existed, so.
7.- Art.
Again, i'm definitely not calling you original, because writing was already there before even you grandmother, so don't feel special for writing the same other people does. So what?, life is a bitch and you partner will leave you and of course your parents don't understand you, you are 17, I'm 22 and my parents still without understand me, and they stopped understanding us the day we all turned 11. Also, photography was there long time ago, don't feel so unique about it, the ass kicking camera you have is more likely to be a "gift" from your daddy that was worried the day you said you wanted to die because this or that happened", a camera doesn't really makes you a photographer.
And yet again, how many of you got called emo because you like pictures or taking pictures or you write?, Of course i like photography, i grew up with a professional photographer as a father and i do photography since i'm 5, how not to love it?.
Also, i know Tim Burton is a good film maker, but really, he is not the first one, how many of you saw "nightmare before christmas" when it just came out without and not because one lame band you listen made a song for that record that came out some years ago?, Face it, when the movie just came out you were like 3.
8.- You are not hardcore.
Again, bleached hair with 100 colors doesn't makes you hardcore, neither 30 piercing, or 40 tattoos, or playing guitar, spiky belts.or skulls, they actually, make you look stupid, you can be wearing a hello kitty pajama and be pretty damn dangerous in many different level.
9.- Depression is not a joke.
I've been living with depression all my life and i know its not funny, waking up one morning with enough strength to live and ok life and 10 minutes later feeling like dying on bed when the only thing it happened so far was a nice shower. Many people is taking medication of any kind, and if you ask any of them they all will agree they don't like it, is not funny to wake up every day and run to your pills and not been able to stop them because you can't have an "ok" mood without swings or just because if you stop them you get the withdraws.
10.- Self- injury.
Again, the same it was for depression, but a little bit worse. At least depression can be helped, but as a self-harmer i can't find a way out or a reasonable reason why this kids do such things. I'm aware that there are many emo kids that actually have a real problem, but sadly most of them don't even know what they are doing.
Is a dangerous thing to do, i'm a self-harmer since i'm a little kid, and to point at facts, cutting is not the only way, i was the only kid i knew that lived with bruised legs, arms and lived falling from the stairs or having constant accidents, all those little things people just found "clumpsy" about me were very good planed stuffs, and that was just the things they saw. Sadly, people only "noticed" how bad i was 4 years after i started cutting. It was not fun, i got into real shit and other kids too, Now i have to take i don't know how many pills for years, and many kids do "live" this way, is a serious shit because you JUST CANT STOP!. your body needs it, your brain needs it, the thing you know is killing you is the only thing that makes you feel alive and stop focus on just emotional matters, many people is there because they have real problems and not because it became a weird trend you follow just because you feel a little blue.
This is actually why i do hate this kids, people i know trying not to die because of their self harm is not take serious because some pretty kid with money that can decide his/her own sex is taking this so lightly. thanks to you people like, well, me, is not taken serious. People with real issues is not taken serious, and sometimes not even for themselves.
Get a pair and a bit of brain and think a little about what you are doing, depression, suicide and self harm is not funny, not even a bit, it doesn't matter in wish way you try to put it, is a real thing.
