Brian: I'm calling Lois right now!
EMO: Hi, i'm your roommate, I like to cut myself, I bleed alot...
Brian: Uhhhh
Stewie: Sorry he's already got a roommate, me!
EMO: Oh, ok.
*EMO leaves*
Brian: *sighs* Ok, you can stay...

"There is also a common stereotype that associates "emo" with self-harm, most notably cutting wrists, partly due to song lyrics associated with "emo" bands, which often speak of acts of self-destruction. However, apart from the anecdotal, there is no significant evidence of any correlation between emo and self-harm."

:mellow:

They don't have to cut themselves.

of course not but he just wanted to show lighter side

I don't think it's fair to classify everyone who's depressed as 'emo'. Some people really do have problems. It's only the people who 'act' depressed just so they can fit in with this stupid fad, that annoys me...

I call them Emus

I have lots of emo-ish friends. Most of them aren't sobby and depressing, but some do have problems with depression. The sobby ones who say, "My life sucks." yada yada yada, are, the poser people, because they pretty much wear a sandwich board that says, "I'm Depressed. Pity ME!"

posers are stupid and emos are....lets say wrong for thinking that like oh well im not gonna finish that or someone will kill me

I've wondered this from the first time I heard of poser skaters : Who has the rights to decide who is real and who is poser?

I've wondered this from the first time I heard of poser skaters : Who has the rights to decide who is real and who is poser?

well, a real skater would skate, whereas a poser skater would not, and would care more about the skating image. therefore, they are not real skaters.

a 'real' emo, would adhere to what is commonly believed to epitomise 'emo', ie slit wrists, moody etc, so a person who dresses emo but does not act or listen to emo music, would not be real.

i'm only saying this from an explanatory objective point of view, i don't really believe in anyone judging who is real or fake, the views i wrote above are just pretty much what general people would think.

DIE labels! we are what we are not what they say we are or look like

i know that emo actually stands for emotional something something, so its more of a personality then a trend. people want to be emo because its revolved around a lot of drama. Take koreans for an example. a lot of koreans are emo, but not in the sense that the stereotype is, only beacuse their whole life is revolved around actual drama, instead of fake "MY LIFE SUCKS I WANT TO DIE" stuff. thats what emo really is. i know its not standing for emotion, because everyone is emotional
atleast thats what i think emo is. the people who slit their wrists and stuff are softcore pussy goths' thats what i consider them, either that or really into rock, which is awesome too

All i have to say about all these people who think they are emo just because the way they dress need to get over themselves. they arent even thinking straight. well i can write anymore i have to go back to class.

lols well heres what i think. Nowadays all with like the stereotypes and stuff, all there will ever be is something new then it becomes stereaotypical mean when u think emo ppl are like slit wrists etc. of course u think that cuz of stereotypes. so i guess its just parts of life that are often taken to seriously or are just plain stupid O.o

Oh yes. Some people always want to be unique and special, but as a trend comes along they'll have to think of something else XD

Just watch out for the "Magical Eye"

the what...?

many of my friends are emo's. sometimes their sadness gets annoying, but now they are trying to make me one. :heh:

poser or real emo with an actual reason to think the world sucks?

Hooray! Emo's loL!

Hooray! Emo's loL!

...

:topic:

How in the fuck does that contribute to the conversation? XD

As much as your post and mine does.

None.

Hooray! Emo's loL!

how is that off topic? the thread is about Emos- so is that post?

and anyway- the world does suck majorly... just because you think the world sucks and 99.9% of people are arseholes doesnt make you emo

of course not but it is part of the "emo" labeling system thing. emo=pessimistic world view, cutting, music (deppressing)

i hate fucking emos... how DARE they turn depression and self harm into a fashion

btw... i am referring to self-proclaimed emos, not just anyone that you would class as emo

by not caring why its cool only knowing that it is

what part of taking a blade to yourself is cool?

and what about the people who are like genuine? now they are just pointed at and called emo when they are clearly in enough of a mess as it is

i was out yesterday and passed this park where self-proclaimed emos go like every weekend, and we always have to walk through this park. the friend who i was with totally hates emos and she was just making comments like "why dont they all just go home and cut themselves" at the top of her voice, and it was such an evil thing to say

the part thats cool is the look they have, their fashion and the way that genuine emos are now in many places. these people are those that decided 80's clothes that they used to make fun of are now a fashion. there is never a reason except that "the popular" people wear it so should i.

why cant people just have a mind of their own?

what is a "genuine" emo anyway?

Whats genuine about anything? To say you are one of a kind is absolutly true. The majority of yourself would obviously be copied or mimicked by someone else in the world at least once, such as a hair style or the way you walk. But theres the small things that make you you.

If there was no reason for doing things if someone else has done it, why do anything in life? Why do you, Mr. Thorn, play all these hard songs on the piano? Do you think it makes you special? Do you enjoy it? Do you have a drive to do so?

If they want to cut themself, then so be it. Like I said: Steriotypes help the world for the good. But sometimes it gets in the way.

When you walk through that park on your next weekend, you might see someone who has an emo or scene look. You probably will think "That person cuts themself and bitches a lot". You dont know for sure. People call me emo all the time, but I dont cut myself. I dont really bitch about a crappy world a lot.

I'm usualy happy.

that is very true and people have called me a rocker and a weirdo and i just smile and thank them because them classifying me means they need to label me something to understand what i want and/or need from life. it means they know im different from what they usually see so i MUST have mental problems or be an outcast. they shoot me down and all i think is how pathetic it is for them to have do so. i get your point of view, RD, but i still think labels divide us too much to be helpful in any way except get us to be the opposite of what they say we are.

I don't stereotype; it was my friend, not me who made the comment about emos and self harm; being an ex-cutter myself i would never just assume someone is a self harmer because of how they look. The thing that really gets to me is how 'self harm' and 'emo' have almost become synonymous to 95% of the population and it's wrong.

I totally agree with what you said; if people want to cut, then let them cut. However, it's when you get people who may think "oh, i want to be emo, so i have to cut" that there's a huge problem. To be honest i've always thought each to their own and only bitch at people if they bitch at me. I just get on my high horse when i think people are taking the issue of self harm so lightly, but if it seemed i was having a go at anyone in any way then i apologise.

This is going slightly OT, but in answer to your question; I play hard songs on the piano because that's my thing. I have constantly been doubted and told pieces are too hard for me, so I have just taught myself them. But because of this I can't play easier pieces; hard pieces take so much concentration that the second I try something easier, my concentration goes and I bollocks it up.

Back on topic, i think labels in general are ridiculous. They have no real purpose; I mean even something like male and female- what are they for? you get cross-dressers, homosexuals, transsexuals; gender has no role really does it? i mean gender is no longer a boundary for anything, so why use the label?

how many labels do we use to summarise a person? take myself for example, and my vendetta against chavs. i call them chavs to represent their pathetic designer label obsession, their sitting on park walls drinking cheap cider, their slang, their sliminess, their shaven heads... i could go on; but does that make every person with a shaved head a slimy, designer obsessed, cider drinking twat who inserts the words "safe" and "innit" into every sentence? i think not.

and how much stress to people get over trying to fit in? very few people have the same amazing attitude as ME411 towards being called a weirdo for example.

at the end of the day, people can do what they want; i mean we all have free will right? but what gives anyone else the right to criticise people for being different... or even for being the same? to all the people who have ever been classed as "emo" here for example, how many times have you walked past a gang of them and had "poser" shouted at you? it's fucking ridiculous when they are the ones in a spot-the-difference gang thinking they are so individual themselves!

I find the emo thing really funny. The way the way the people dress and think. It can be made into a comedy.

Emo's suck. If any of my friend's became emo I'd kick their asses.

thank you, we have all been enlightened and challenged by your outstanding intelligence....

I say what I mean and mean what I say, I don't see why sarcasm was needed.

Hitler? Hardly. Emo isn't a race, it's just spoiled caucasian kids being overly melodramatic. Everyone has problems, but we deal with them instead of dressing like pansies and acting suicidal.

Harsh. It's just a fad. It doesnt hurt anyone (except for the idiots who think self harm is a good way to get attention and really, they deserve the pain if they choose to inflict it upon themselves). No one is forcing you to wear tight pants, dye your hair black, and quote song lyrics so why are you so upset about it? If it's not your cup of tea then just don't follow the trend, or associate with the poeple. No big deal.

P.S. It isn't just caucasian people but good job being racially discriminate like that. Shows character :rolleyes:.

First of all, the entire topic was to say what I think about the emo "trend", and I think it sucks. I'm sorry that I have an opinion that doesn't agree with your own, but that's just how some people are. And about the racial stuff, that was out of line, and I apologize. I had no right to say that and I'm sorry if anyone was offended.


Does that justify you beating them up?

I don't beat up emo kids, I never said that. I did say that if one of my friends became emo, I would have to, because I would feel that it is my obligation to do so. But, I know my friends and they definitely wouldn't EVER be emo, so I don't have to worry about that.

And what do you mean by "poser" emos? All emos are posers in my opinion.

Hmm... It's a free country? People are allowed to think, dress, and act differently?

I mean, come on, it's not like all of emo-kind are all plotting to blow up a plane or anything. Why not just let people be, and accept that not everyone shares your opininon?

On the other hand, one could argue that they plot to destroy themselves, which can't be a good thing either. It may affect not only them, but their friends and loved ones.

And what do you mean by "poser" emos? All emos are posers in my opinion. the people who do it for attention or because its cool not because they are genuinely depressed. (though most of them ARE posers but there are still some real kids with the cutting problem)

And on the other hand, not all people who look like http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/gunsxkillxsmurfs/vf%20stuff/sonny.jpg

are self cutters and there are plenty of others who are the vice versa.

And what do you mean by "poser" emos? All emos are posers in my opinion.

Not all emos are posers .. sometimes things happen . They look for a way to escape , and maybe being emo isn't the best solution , but it's their decision .

Poser emos just act emo-ish for the hell of it .

Sonny Moore!!!

ahah.
RD, have you ever even listened to From First to Last?

XD

Um, no. That was just the first guy that poped into mind when I thought "steriotype emo".

On the other hand, one could argue that they plot to destroy themselves, which can't be a good thing either. It may affect not only them, but their friends and loved ones.

well, you could also argue that it's up to them if they want to destroy themselves? and that some of the blame, whether 100%, 50%, 5% has to fall on their friends and loved ones for making them think that there is no other way... as an ex cutter myself, and an ex member of a SI forum, i know for a fact that if someone has someone there to talk to about their problems, they dont feel the need to take it out on themselves.

an SI forum? and i think i can agree with you on the whole thing that if they have some one to talk to they wont hurt themselves

First of all, the entire topic was to say what I think about the emo "trend", and I think it sucks. I'm sorry that I have an opinion that doesn't agree with your own, but that's just how some people are.

Yeah, yeah, you're right. It just seemed like you were bashing as opposed to trying to share an opinion but you're right you're entitled to state it. Sorry.

Is that really even part of the emo...uh persona, though? I always thought of emo as more of an attention thing and less of a serious situation. Anywhoo people aren't emo anymore they're "Scene" :rolleyes: and, of course, it's not the exact same thing just with a love for pokemon and eyeshadow thrown in, of course not.

..shuttup.

but you can't tell if it's attention or serious- it's virtually impossible....

what's wrong with pokemon? dont tell me that's classed as "scene" now- is nothing sacred?


an SI forum?

*realises this sounds worse than it is* it wasnt like sharing tips and posting pics or anything- like a support site

I do think fob does need to shut up, because apprently shes just out to make all steriotypes she isnt a part of look stupid. Scene IS NOT the same as emo. Emo is a damn other thing.

edit: Whatever you say, RD, whatever you say. :rolleyes:

p.s. I don't actually need to shut up. If I should happen to, be it in the form of editing my post because I felt bad about possibly hurting your little emo/scene ego or whatever, It'll be because I wanted to. ;)

p.p.s: Sterotype* ≠ Trend.

you are such a royal pain in the @$$ fob! just because RD is saying emo is not the same as scene(which RD was right by the way) does NOT mean RD is scene/emo!

@thorn:i was inquiring as to what that is (what is an SI forum?)

:mellow: When n00bs attack.

Wow....Why do I even bother?
No, calling emo and scene different doesn't make you emo/scene. Although I'm pretty sure calling yourself emo/scene might. Which I'm pretty sure I've seen RD do on several occasions before but feel free to correct me If I'm wrong about that.

hmm..."Scene people"...So I guess it's safe to assume that the people in the picture think of themsevles as "scene". Hmm But, isn't RD in that picture. Golly gee! I guess since I'm right that makes me ever more of a "pain in the @$$"? Seriously. Don't open your mouth if you know that what you're saying isn't actually valid. It makes you look bad. /edit.

Now before you got all hot and bothered (not that you already aren't...which btw: thanks for the quote. I glady assume the title of "royal pain in the @$$". I've been called a "pain in the ass" before but never a "pain in the @$$". It's like a whole new ballpark.)

How about you back up your point? How are they not the same? Save for a love of pokemon and robots because I already mentioned that.

They LOOK the same. They ACT the same. They both even deny the labels "emo" and "scene". I'm really curious about this big significant difference.

This the the major problem with steriotypes. Its to general and the ignorant chop it all up.

Scene has been called a fashion statement and a cub culture based on music, art and also fashion.

Emo is, to some, a way people act [and also what Muffin said before].

ahah.

and stop bickering, you foolies.
and that random noobie that's scared to write out a swear.

aaanyways.

emo are outcasts who hate their lives and cut and all those stereotypical acts.

scenies are all fucking "i fucking lvoe myself" and "i'm too fucking sexy for you ugly mofos".
and they basically love life and music. and they have a lotta sex.
yes.
sex is a big part of scene culture.
and the girls have nice boobs.

So the personalities are what's different? Ah. I see. Emos are depressed and have (or pretend to have) low self-esteem, and Scenies are conceited fuckbots? XD

Fixed. :\

I think this is all silly; its just a bunch of people who cant accept people for who they are. So they arent your cup of tea; does that mean you have to get all Hitler on thier ass? Your no better then the homophobes and Black haters.

I am not emo no matter what my peers say. I guess I concider myself scene, but what ever. Im myself. And so are all those other people. Who isnt following someone elses footsteps? Get the fuck over it.

*agrees* it's pretty much impossible to be 100% original when it comes to something like fashion; EVERYONE gets ideas from someone else- whether it's like "oh, what a kewl top, will have to find myself one of those" or "wow, that whole look is just amazing, im going to dress like that"

although i wouldnt say emo-haters can be put in the same sentence as Hitler? i mean they don't lock emos up and gas them :P

No, but they all hate for petty reasons. To hate it to hate.

yeah- i agree.

but it depends on what you class as hate. we all use it in everyday life to express a really strong dislike- it isnt true hate. true hate is something i can thankfully say i only feel towards one thing in life (which luckily isnt an individual.

for example... someone may say "oh, i hate emos".. but you wouldnt go as far as to round them all up and slaughter them, and you wouldnt spend every waking moment thinking about how much you hate them- because that's what true hate is; an overwhelmingly controlling feeling that takes over your life.

in general, we tend to use the word "hate" as sparingly as teenagers use the word "depressed"... we dont know what we're talking about

i think the,, emo clothing styl is cool, and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being 'emotional'
though if you start to cut yourself because you want ppl to think you need help, or because you really believe it helps. to be short; if you are emotionally weak, that, is pretty much their own problem, not mine to be bothered about. But lots of ppl dress like Emo, but in reality, theyr not the persons most ppl think they are (prejudice).

btw. i'm like new here^_^ welcome me please:lol:

welcome.... but dont call cutters emotionally weak; you have no idea how much strength it uses up- if you didnt have it in the first place, you wouldnt cut.

^ I agree with what you've said about having the strength to actually cut in the first place . Some can't be brave enough to do that .

But at the same time , doesn't it take the same strength to not cut ? I'm not saying that EVERYBODY is so ' strong ' because they don't cut , but if someone wanted to cut .. don't they need the courage to not ?

initially it takes an equal balance of courage to either cut or choose not to. but once you've actually cut a few times the balance is tipped and it becomes much easier to cut and a lot harder to stop yourself- because it actually turns into a "normal" thing to be doing.

Yeah, every cutter I've ever known says it doesn't hurt nor anything. So I guess it's not as hard once you know it doesn't hurt, besides the fact that, like you said, it becomes a habit.

True about cutting, I had a friend that said it was hard to stop, so she kept hurting herself. I think it depends on that person's state of mind, and how their body reacts to pain.
Personally, I don't think cutting is a sign of being "emo". There are people out there who don't classify themself as being "emo", but cut themselves anyway.

The truth is that everyting is relative. What seems emotionally impossible for me (like cutting) is a real way of dealing with problems in life for some people. Also, what seems like a huge emotional challenge to me may be trivial for someone else. This is all due to the fact that we are all different people who see the exact same things in a different way.

As far as all of the anti-emo hate, It's just like all other types of high-school social group interaction. Every group of people is going to have something against some or all other groups. I think this is caused by the human ego. The ego is the reason why people get angry towards someone who is not like them or their group. This is why some social groups mock emo people and why groups with the biggest egos seem to hate the most people.

Get it? Sorry if I didn't explain what I meant too well.

Well when i think of emo i think emotional but emotions are pretty much feelings and i don't get it. GAH I'm not much of a stereotype label person coz i don't really like labels ^^;;

SAKURA15. Found you. Tag.
You're it.

You know, Nabooru, if you keep spamming meaningless crap just to get out of "New Members" group I'm going to make sure your count stays to zero forever.

emo and all these explanations are getting me confused...
neverminds its still cool =)

could somone from england clarify 'emo' i always thought it was depressing lonely people such as evangelion.

Emos (emotional people) just have a different way on facing their problems. For example, if a girl emo is heartbroken, she'd probably cut or kill herself while other girls deal with it differently, such as moving on, trying to get the guy back, or something. It doesn't mean that they're weird or creepy or retarded or anything. They're just different. Actually, alotta people think they're cool.

XD Thanks for making me laugh. They aren't all suicidal or self inflict pain nor are they the only ones who do so.

I know. I can't think right then. I put down whatever came down to mind. Keep laughing.

+ wow, another brummie :D *friendly poke*

Emos (emotional people) just have a different way on facing their problems. For example, if a girl emo is heartbroken, she'd probably cut or kill herself while other girls deal with it differently, such as moving on, trying to get the guy back, or something. It doesn't mean that they're weird or creepy or retarded or anything. They're just different. Actually, alotta people think they're cool.

..wow.


I've never seen an emo girl before, to be honest.
I'm always coming across either goth girls or scene girls.
Never emo girls :mellow:

But scene girls give hot sex.

But scene girls give hot sex.

and your how old again?;)

goth girls are better:P

this goes against everything i usually say about stereotyping/emos...

BUT

the only reason emo/scene/goth girls like hot sex is because it gives them another reason to moan ;)

hmmm, interestng, but it depends on the people you meet. the people here at uni who are goth are great friendly people, they arent pised off with the world they just conform to a differnt set of norms.

lol- you totally killed the joke there *giggles*

you should know that's not my actual opinion *throws dildo*

:P

I don't mind the emo trend too much, it just annoys me when they all try to copy eachother around here.

Yeah, it definitely sucks to see so many people look alike. It bothers me how unoriginal they are sometimes. *sigh*

me and my friends are calling eachother emo even though we aren't. I'm E.T *get it? E.T?!* E.E. E.K. E.S and so on and so fourth.

...and Thorns joke is gone! XD haha it WAS a nice set-up ^_^ don't worry...maybe it WAS for the best. Anyways, hmm emo's....emotional people with too many issues? Hmmm artistic? hmmm or too artsy fartsy? *sigh* oh well...one can only ponder what goes on in their heads...

I suppose I'm rasist.

My opinions on that subject is that emo is just another think same as there is preps and jocks; theres emo! It's nothing big just dress yourself in black and you're all set I suppose from my observations. Though I've been noticing also that some of these people use this just for attention with all that suicidal thing and I find that a bit extreme and it's because of those sad souls that the whole emo things has been blown out of proportions... when I chat with some of my friends they always say that they cut themselves and are all suicidal but thats a harsh lie and an absolute prejudist agains't them, but how do we help that, we can't cause we are all like that.

where have all the emos gone? =O

oh yah they all disappeared behind all that make-up

oh snap =X

It's ironic how "emo's" take a stance of being different and unique, yet in the end they are all copying each other's trend, hence how they came up with such a clique to begin with.

hmm...it makes me think of a great song I heard

"I’m an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You’d be non-conforming too if you look just like me"

XD. I stopped watching it after 30 seconds :heh: .

XD. I stopped watching it after 30 seconds :heh: .
sheesh, you missed the best part were they call their emosords! XD

It seems I listen to more emo music than I realized...My Chemical Romance, 30secondstomars (but I liked them BEFORE they essploded onto the mainstream scene. HA!...), Panic! At the Disco....But he former two I have liked for quite awhile, I likes their music! Ahhh, and before I knew it, I had bought me a black hoody, but only coz winter's coming...and I like black...

But it's ok, I'm generally a rock/alternative/indie girl at heart (my cold black heart... XD!!)

And plus, I laugh waaaayyyy too much to be "true" emo.

loll.

same here. (and yet everyone of the 'popular' kids call me emo)

I don't like how people will associate others as being super emo just because of their 'black hoodie' or their love for emo'ish music. Please, those things are so minor. If anything, emo should be used to describe the person's overly emotional personality, not their accessories. Come to think of it, I'm beginning to wonder if there are two types of emos, those that dress it and those that act it. Mind boggling it is.

I just think a lot of people are mistaking scene kids with emo kids. I mean, seriously, when you go to the mall or something and you see a bunch of so-called "emo" kids, you might notice that they're usually eating shit and HAVING FUN. That's because they're not emo; they're scene. Duh. A lot of the trends people label as "emo" (i.e. slip-on shoes, tight shirts, girl jeans, etc.) are the same for the scene, if not exclusive of them. Plus, "emo" isn't as fashion- or visually-based as the scene; it's more of an emotional thing. The scene, I'd say, really is a lot about the clothes and what you wear. When you think about scene kids, for example, you can't really pin-point a certain taste in music (they can be into ghettotech, rave, pop, whatever, and still be scene), while when you think "emo," you're already thinking: My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, etc.

And so, in reference to what Minori asked: Yes, you can say there are two types of "emo," and they're categorized in the same way you put it (those who act it, and those who look it). The kids who act it are emo, those who look it are scene. ;)

Well said. I agree. :] hahahah yeah. You may not know it but emo and scene kids existed way back then. so it's nothing new. It's just that there's a whole lot of em now. lol.. My friends says I look like a emo-scene-punk rocker. lol but I'm not . My style is just kinda scene and kinda punk but I play the piano. lol yeah. Like the saying goes don't judge a book by it's cover.

I hate it how every calls you emo if you look sad most of the time. People need to learn that NOT EVERYONE WHO IS SAD IS AN EMO!-_-
people can just be having a bad day thats all

Scene! That's the word I was looking for! Thanks Marlon xD

lol scene kids are bad at sports.

and life.

I like tennis.

And piano.

and tennis.

and school.tennis

for those four reasons I like to sit/stand around in P.Education.

Basically scene kids are just emo kids when they're not crying.

I've always believed that Emo was a branch off the Punk subculture, trying to be a rebel by not listening to mainstream music or shopping at mainstream stores...I thought Emo's were people who weren't afraid to show their feelings, not really giving a crap what anyone thought. But now a lot of Emos (and other members of the punk subculture) kind of dress alike and listen to the same music. It's rare that you find true punks these days...who shop at places OTHER than Hot Topic..

I should stop talking because I'm not focusing on emos that much...

it's fun to throw empty water bottles at scene kids. :lol:

and non-empty water bottles. ^.^

Without a cap on them so the scene kids' make-up will start running ^.^

I have a song called "Hey Scenesters" by The Cribs. It's very catchy XD

Personally, I like punk stuff. And gothic punk. Clothing that is. I guess I'm kinda sceney. Not my fault stuff I always liked is becoming popular!

I read in some random article that emo today is like hippies in the 60's, punk in the 70's, goth in whatever (80's?) and other "in" sort of "fashion" trends. Basically, it's saying it'll pass, and something new will replace it ^_^

Space suites that are from the future will replace the "emo" look.


just a thought.

Yey~

This may be rude of me to assume so please pardon me later, I think that a few of the people that act emo and such are actually quite immature so that they can't cope with normal situations that are actually nonsense!. Example: Wolfgoddess! : D It's really quite aggravating.

It's also really quite funny hearing them bullshit things like how their parents hate them, how their teachers hate them, how they should just die because they cause everyone such pain.. That's right! You're paining us by being an ignorant prat!

Oh! I should work a suicide hotline. :)

lol asif this thread has been revived

It had to be done.
