Is boring as hell.
My mom asked me to read some article in the newspapers about 'emo kids', who are described by one 'emo teen' as being 'tortured souls unable to face the world', which is a nice way of saying you have no balls. 'Emo teens' are also characterised by 'teens wearing dark T-shirts, .... [having] heavily lined-eyes and long fringe hair which covers half their face', ... and a common choice of shoes is Converse All-stars. There is also a danger of the fad, 'carried to extremes, can lead to self-mutilation or even suicidal thoughts' (lol @ Jishun!, and to a lesser degree, Rachel.)
Oh the funniest part was this. 'Another tell-tale sign - they listen to angst-filled music from bands like Hawthorne Heights, Aiden, The Used, My Chemical Romance, and Fall Out Boy' Haha. I think songs like Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (And i don't want the world to see me, 'cause i don't think that they'd understand) contain more angst-filled lyrics.
Oddly enough, there was no solid definition for the word 'emo' in the entire article.
... The main problem seems to be that these people somehow think that the whole world's against them, and resort to doing 'emo' activities, eg. self-mutilation, writing hate-filled poems (which probably don't really make much sense) etc. So is that a definition for 'emo'?
I listen to emo music. (and rap, hiphop, RnB, indie, metal etc.) Maybe it just happens sometimes to be actually nice. I don't really have a very good opinion of the world either. But fine, even if we all agreed that the world sucks, so what? There's nothing wrong with the 'emo' side, in that sense. I think we all have a part of us that feels that way, just that it comes out in varying degrees. The problem with these kids isn't the 'emo-ness', it's the fact that their whiny. Whiny babies.
Get a life please. Grow up, grow a pair, and face life. And maybe, just maybe, you might find something worth living for.
Now that's a Standard of Living.
