First off, I hate labels.
but Emo, to me, is the same thing as Poser, which is the only label I use.
Emos have a bunch of money and spend it all on expesive shoes, haircuts, makeup, nailpolish, popular music, and tight clothing, they whine about being middle class, and they get avarage grades.
They dont work for their money, their parents supply it, through gifts and allowance. If they cut its more like catscratch and they show it off, weather or not the people seeing it know. If your freaking depressed, kill yourself and get it over with.
Their music is mainstream. And they all pretend to be gay and hang all over each other but in real life would never bang someone of their own gender. And they talk about piercings but are terrified to get one that would stand out from the rest- snakebites and little studs ont he nost are good enough, but so help me god if someone has a bridge piercing were going to say how gross it is and how we would never do that.
"If you want to scream about rebellion, you dont write it on your wrist, you tattoo it across your face."
You think your emo, or you think I have it wrong? Tough. This is what I see.
Dont give me crap about 'you dont know what goes on in their life, they probably have it worse off then you, blah blah."
Some of these kids who consider themselves or try to make others believe their emo, I know how they have it at home. Like, ive seen it, through siblings or friends/friends or whatever. Their all fine and well. They get fed three meals everyday- they dont have to pay for their own lunch. They dont get abused. I have never seen one with a single bruise on them, and I have gym with a good portion of the kids who pull this BS on us.
Sceane is not emo. They have just as much money but they dont pretend, and they know what their doing. Its a lifestyle.
