I hate emo. I hate them a lot. They're like the boggans of the rock world. I'll attempt to
answer your questions:

- what is with this crazy new trend?
It ain't new over here. It's a bastardised mish-mash of goth, punk, skate, rock and urban
hip-hop. Yes, the clothing AND the music. And the make-up.. jeez, they take eyeliner
pencils and draw interesting patterns up the side of their faces. Now, i once saw a goth
girl (a friend of mine) do this. God-damn, sexy as hell when dressed to go out. Not so
sexy when we make the crawl to the corner shop at 7.30am the next morning. There's a
lesson in this, and it involves not wearing full corpse paint to hang out down the park
or outside the chippie at dinnertime.

- so its cool to be half blind by haveing your hair in your face?
They copy lots of bands. I think it stems from wanting to grow hair long but not having
the patience to finish wiping their own arse so they get bored and cut it into a shitty
ghey fringe.

- why do they all have i-pods?
Because they have awful lives, tormented by the broken 2 parent home they come from. They
are mentally abused constantly by the worried parents who love them very much and buy them
everything they want. Like i-pods.

- WTF is with the shit music????
Good question.

What makes an Emo tick? Allow me to shed some light on it. We have a musci magazine in
the UK called 'Kerrang!' which used to be quite good. They've since started printing shit
Emo stuff so i don't touch it with a barge pole. It ain't worth what they charge. Anyway,
i digress... Kerrang! have a tv channel now. They show lots of shit Emo, play the same 5
songs all the time and occasionally (read: @ 1am or on sunday mornings) show decent vids
for stuff like Depeche Mode. I watched an advert for a competition they were holding for
a band called 'Funeral for a Friend' (yes, Emo fuckpigs). The div doing the voice-over
says:

"Win all this signed 'Funeral for a Friend' merch! Just think how hardcore you will look
in front of your friends wearing all this stuff."

I think this sums it up perfectly. And incidentally, I prefer babybats to these people.
It's these plebs that give US a bad name. 

I need better boots.. Some nice looking GP steel caps should do it..
Bring on the emo bratz.. ^_^ 

fuckin aye i bought some 2nd hand GP boots off an army caddett a few years ago for $20 got
multiable years out of them befor wearing out the toes :(

now to get back in track:

why is it emo's always attempt to talk to random people they dont know (around public
transport)?
 a mate of mine back in my old home town caught a bus from hobart to bridgewater (about
45 minute bus trip) and apearntly soem filthy emo kid came up and ploped himself on the
seat right next to my mate... apearntly the bus was pretty bear?

also about a week ago i was standing in the bus mall waiting to catch a bus home after
haveing to do some stuff in the city.. anyway, some emoguy (looked like he was in his
20's) came up and was talking to me.. about 6 minutes later he fianly worked out the
music he could hear was comeing from the headphones over my ears and he walked off :/

also you wouldnt belive the amount of flithy emokids who have attempted to at me to their
msn clients.. truely does sicken me...


anyone else have any funny storys about emo kids? 

Yeah i like moshpits. But then i have the build of a man-shaped tank. I tned to get
ambitious and take on the whole pit at once.

Emo kids in pits. Hilarious. They end up crawling out on hands and knees, picking up
pieces of broken teeth as they go.

One stood at the side of the pit at a Machinehead gig. He kept punching me in the kidneys
every time i shot past. So i exited the opposite side of the pit and circled around behind
him. On the next chorus, 20 stone of glim hit him at sprinting pace in the base of the
spine and carried him into the pit. After 10 mins of pissing and moaning to his mates
they came into the pit to deal with me. A flying forearm block to the bridge of the nose
(purely accidental...) put paid to him.

The funny thing is, if they hadn't bothered me, i would have bothered them. An emo kid
once picked a fight with a friend. My friend hadn't done anything to him and we're
convinced to this day that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. After being
punched in the mouth, he grabbed the emo by the floppy fringe, hung onto it (it was long
enough) and punched him in the face till half a dozen blows later the little shits knees
gave out.

Do a google search on the image page for 'finding emo'. 

Hahahahahahahahaahaha.

I think you're shoving them into a hole here. They are pop culture drop outs. Once was
pop punk cool for them, and then they elitested themselves to the new screamo emo indie
labels. 

To say these people are more depressed than a normal 9 to 5 guy working a job he doesn't
want to.. Is a little over the top.

They wear the black wrong, I know but in the world of pop culture we have to shake our
heads and just let em be until the next trend comes along and rips open a new portal of
existence for these pathetics.

The i pod thing? You have to shut up about that since they are literally everywhere in
thousands of peoples ears and pockets. And so be it. 

Kerrang mag is filled with emo now? Glad I read sparingly on the mag front for music. Can
I suggest Future Music/ fiend/ ect... 

enough of the whinging, its making you as a scene look bad.

Enough of the whinging? Lol!

These are the goth boards. We should be screetching 'oh the humanity' and slashing our
wrists by all accounts. 

And do bear in mind that if we don't find SOMETHING to bitch about, well, we wouldn't
post. And then the board would be dead again. 

sometimes i fear glim maybe thinking of eating our kidneys... 

I heard he was partial to liver and brain.. 
But that could just be a rumour.. ~_^ 

Kidneys... *blech*

You know, that is so depressing. :D

And THAT is the essence of our wonderful little subculture.
