517372 2007-01-20 21:19:00 Emo was a term used to describe an off shoot of pop-punk that was.....well, in touch with itself. Id call it weak and pathetic. Men don't cry...in public, let alone celebrate it and wallow in their hurt feelings.

Looking for a new fad the record industry promoted it heavily, creating a generic version for bands and fans to blindly follow in their search for whatever, Its a fad,fashion, followed by the weak, and to my eternal surprise its the most pathetic one yet, I had thought nu-metal was the bottom of tghe barrel.

Cant wait to see whats in vouge in 6 months.

anyway, The urban dictionary cotains some humour about these people who have no idea there "personality" and suffering is a marketing package. Middle class kids crying and wearing a uniform .

517373 2007-01-21 04:15:00 emo, short for 'emotional' it the latest fad as metla has already said. put simply it it soft goth. same look, but rather than the goth "everyone else sucks', emo's have 'i suck <cries, cuts wrists>'

descibed by emo's it originated in the early 90's from punk bla bla bla

for the rest of the teenage world, emos belong at the bottom of the social ladder. for emo's, self harm and homosexuality are actually popular and have become part of the fashion statement. while i'm sure there are some true emos out there, the VAST majority are purely there for the look. silly really as it isn't considered 'cool' by anyone, and by definition that includes emos themselves lol

i read in the paper an article that decribed 'emo' as "a dangerous teenage cult of self harm"

want to find an emo, go to it's source (www.myspace.com). look for people with fringes covering one eye and black hair. usually with black makeup "emo tears". i recommend this (www.hopeisemo.com), and "The Emo Song"

That's what I call a really educational thread for us Olds.
Thanks to the 3 of you who took so much trouble to explain.
And to think I was only just catching up with Goths. Just too outdated, eh?

(Mind you, I'm a bit worried about why george finds forty-year-olds frightening. They're usually OK once you get used to them. Trust me...)
