I agree. I don't like the emo or scenster or whatever trends, and I usually look at them and think "gee you, look like a complete fuckhead", but at the same time I know I followed that shit when I was young too.obliveus wrote:It's still a form of expression...just one that a lot of others are also doing, as well. It may not be unique, but I reckon it's a valid form of expression that I respect. It's their scene, not mine.Direktor wrote:Missing school already Mr Obliveus?obliveus wrote:Big ups to them expressing themselves in whatever way helps their self confidence, I say.

They ain't expressing themselves, they're following the status quo of their time.
Nah, not missing school. Just not jumping on the anti-emo/whatever bandwagon like others. Kids will always be kids. I wore heavy metal tshirts, ripped jeans and a mullet cuz I wanted to fit into the rocker crowd in junior high...looked like an absolute tosser, too. All part of growing up.
Most play out all the emo kids without really understanding what they're on about. I'm not saying that I do, but I know that, for them, it's serious. The whole style is a way of life to them...a lot like this website forum is for many of us. It is what it is.
I do find it funny that so many people are so quick to always play out the emo kids and how they're just following some bandwagon when a high majority of us followed something similar ourselves when we were that age...in whatever form it may have had in our time.
Kids are meant to do stuff like this. I wonder what they would say about a bunch of grown men and women spending large chunks of their working day hanging out on an Internet forum talking cod shit about dance music.
I do however find their attitudes damn poor. A very large chunk of Gen Y have the "victim" attitude, which is in my book the weakest and most pathetic standpoint someone can have
I think I saw that guy
