emo is the kids answer to the world man
like yeah, they DO all see us as 'ravers', and old ones at that...

but look at the current climate, terrorism, war, etc etc
i think emo is just a reaction to the darkness in the freakin world today

dont get me wrong, i cant help rollin my eyes at em sometimes, but you know what i DO like about em???

emo=emotional
that means that youll find more of these kids hugging (boys!)
than any other teenage subculture ive seen, and tight black jeans and oily fringes aside, surely thats got to be a good way to grow into yourself???

i wrote a poem about emos
i will post it for yas later...

We could start EA (Emos Anonymous).

Reformed emos get to stand up and say "my name is Marvin, and I'm addicted to stripes and studded belts", Or "Hi, I'm Britney, I get in the way of people when they try to cross the road"

I think we need a emo vs smile police face off.

and when they wear hoodies, they only wear the hood half way so u can still see the fringe

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:38 pm

That would definately end in hugs.

do emos have really old dudes getting into the scene to be with young girls too? or is that just standard?

nic · Post by **nic** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:42 pm

loldboy I think thats standard. Thats what im planning.

see you at flinders st station at 5.30 then mrj. Ill be the one with a fringe and black hoodie. See you there?

I don't reckon,

i reckon that clash would end in a collective "meh" as the two extremes cancelled each other.

maybe those kids that say "whatEVERRRRRRR" are a nice balance.

That's it, I'm starting my own underground youth movement called the Daringly Indifferent Contemporary Kids. These kids will be sensitive enough to know its all hopeless, but smart enough to get over it and live their lives. Anyone who wants to be a DICK is free to join me.

thats cool, I had planned to stay at home tonight practising my self loathing.

I think this will prob be a pretty short lived thing. Bunch's of kids wearing black with their hair obstructing their vision hanging around extremley busy intersections at night will pretty quickly become TAC statistics I should think.

Its probably for the best.

i thought you guys were a pretty understanding, empathetic and intelligent bunch

but this emo bashing has shown some true colours.

everyones so damn older and cool now eh??

none of you ever had a shrine to a rock star/DJ in your rooms, none of you ever rocked fahions you are now sheepish about??

ive been through twenty phases at least, some worse than emo, and thye all made me who i am today
you guys sound like bitter oldies who think they 'did it better in their day'

okay, bash me now.

Hey man, do you mind, we are TRYING to make fun of a minority group we don't understand.

I vote we pick on the homeless. God. Could they get any more pathetic?! And what is with the way they smell. Dude, would it kill you to take a shower??

okkaaayyy so im a party pooper, and a PC one at that...
heres my emo rant for you

they call themselves 'emo' proudly
it is short for emotional and they listen to new
millenium punk and wear dirty skate shoes.
Self mutilation is almost accepted among them,
they hang on groups and laugh and tease each other like
teenagers through the ages,
but they have a sad and sinister edge,
they are a reflection of the fear this world feels now,
they are the lost youth growing into a world
that is plagued with uncertainty
their parents have never known

i fear the fear.
I fera the humans and their own convictions
I fear for the kids who grow up knowing only
of technology and warfare
the kids who know some of the rules and break all of them.
I fear the fear that is conjured in boardrooms
and filtered out through medai and politics
and end up in livingrooms where five year olds think anyone
different is BAD.

I fear the fear.

(so yeah, kinda goes off an a tangent, but they inspired it!!)

proceed with homeless person bashing now>>>>

yeah i feel ya Ghetto,

BUT>>>>
They get called 'emo' and they seem to wear it proudly
but surely the sinister edge is just a mirage
and a front, for nothing more sinister that the old teenage collage.
the same old angst that kids do feel
history repeating, spinning like a wheel
i don't deny the angst is real, but the image is same
same old same. The way its always been
They listen to crap, we all mostly do
Not like no one else hasn't been through,
this same old thing time and time again
at least with rave we had our heads in a spin
This genre were dissing, this recycled punk
well, stuff it, its just the next teenage junk

Let em be, yeah let the kids be
in 10 years time they'll be bagging out the next generation, see!

I don't mind what set people belong to, so long as they put out.

But seriously, when I was in year 7, I used to think of people like us as all being (or aspiring to be) adidas wearing homeboy types. At the time it was grunge all the way. Attitudes change with age, I guess.

Meh. I grew up with the bomb, greenhouse gasses, hole in the ozone layer, AIDS, Stock-Aitken-Waterman, and Toobs being discontinued.

What makes them so special??

To Quote Ric (The Young Ones);

oh god,
why
am I so much more sensitive than everybody else ?
why
do I feel things so much more acutely than them,
and understand so much more.
I bet I'm the first person who's ever felt as rotten as this.
could it be
that I'm going to grow up
to be a great poet and thinker, and all those other wankers in my class are going to have to work in factories or go on the dole?
yes, I think it could.

word.

and like, (oh here i go)
for 'ravers' ....
when we were younger there was this idea, the millenium, we thought we were going to change things, we thought we had new answers to the same questions, the music, the pants...... at the end of the day, for many, it was all really about the music and the pants now wasnt it???

i dont see the difference really, but im empathetic with the emo kids casue ive befriended a few from the street art world, ive even convinced some of em online not to top themselves JUST yet....

i dunno.

they cant figure me out, i like techno and hip hop and folk music, i look like a punk what with lots of tatts, but often wear candy cammo and appear to have raver genes.....i dont judge anymore casue i hate bein judged myself.

do these kids really have more to whinge about than previous generations?

I don't think so.

In the 40's some kids their age were fighting in World War II.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 5:10 pm

they might be fighting WWIII yet man....

and theyre a lot more educated about what war actually means than they were in the 40's

but now im not sure if im just playing devils advocate

but no> i have a couple emo friends
i am speakin for them i guess

I would actually argue that on a global level it is not generations but rather population sub-sets that experience fluctuations in "stress".

e.g.

-Russian serfs during the Napoleonic invasion
-African americans who were blackbirded by slavetraders
-Russian streetkids who are pimped out to paedophiles
-Kids on the streets of a certain S.American country who are culled by the government.
-The indigenous tribes who were hunted for fun by white settlers in Oz

I don't think you could argue that EMO kids have it worse than other subsectors of previous society.

And does not undertanding something make it less terrifying??

no they won't be,

unless I've been lied to by films and television WW III will be fought by mutant cyborgs who have cosmic ray guns that make peoples faces melt. I expect also that there will be a time machine involved and before the end someone may or may not fall in love with hugh grant before they are tragically seperated from themselves in an accident invovling a teleporter, a slippery slide, and 20 litres of personal lubricant that were accidently delivered to the wrong address guaranteed overnight.

maybe you should check in with a cardiologist if they have that effect on you, i would even consult the cardiologist for advice to determine if this could be prevented with a few consultations with a psychologist.

For anyone that wants a giggle – I found these definitions from www.urbandictionary.com (Some of the entries are classic)

1.“Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.
.::sniff sniff:: "The Demise of the Siberian Traintracks of Our Rusty Forgotten Unblemished Love" sounds like it would make a great emo band name. :

:”

2. “Like a Goth, only much less dark and much more Harry Potter”

3. “Emu spelled incorrectly.”

There is 6 pages of submitted definitions, some hilarious and some by very angry wound up Emo’s defending the definition. Take a gander

i may thnk emo is stoopid. but big ups to the kids for being stoopid! my clothes never really changed, my personality never really changed, but i've probably chilled in most clicks that have been around in the last ten or fifteen years, they've all been stoopid and beautiful at the same time.

im a raver and a punk.
this is the greatest song ever, its called i heart raves
http://www.sendspace.com/file/6t2nma

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=raver
A "raver" is one who goes to raves. Contrary to popular belief, there are many different types of ravers.

First there are Candy Ravers; these are the ones you see running around shouting things like "PLUR!" or "Want a hug/sucker/glowstick/massage?" They are identifiable by their brightly colored clothing (phat pants being a must...if they're made of fun fur, all the better), enough Candy (brightly colored bead bracelets)to sink the Titanic, oodles of children's toys, as well as a few glowsticks and pacifiers. Candy kids are known as the cutest/most annoying people you will ever meet. A lot of them are pretty fake - it's impossible to be that happy all the time. Candy Kids are also notorious for being users of the drug Ecstasy - this is not entirely accurate, but with the way they dress and act, its not hard to see why this is assumed.

Next we have the "Goth" ravers. They're quite easy to spot - they will be dressed in all black, preferably incorperating some fishnet, spikes, and buckles into their outfits. The more there are the better. They will not socialize outside of the group they came with, and they will NEVER under any circumstances dance. They're too goth for that - dancing equates to happiness and celebration, and that's just not cool.

Ginos and Ginas (also known as "hoochies"). These are those well-dressed, snooty people that really shouldn't even be at a rave. The only reason they're at the party is to pick up on some 15 year old e-tard. Well, maybe not, but they certainly are only at the party to get a piece of ass. They will be dressed in whatever is "trendy" and do not know how to dance.

Next are junglists. Junglists are often viewed as being "agro". They listen primarily to Jungle/DnB music, and are partial to camo, hoodies, and clothing in dark colors. Popular junglist hairstyles are dreads (m+f), short hair (m+f), or short with two long bits in the front (f). Quite a few junglists are ex-candy ravers. They may also be "old-skool" or "jaded".

Old-skool and jaded pretty much fall into the same category. Old-skoolers are ravers who have been in the scene since "way back in the day". No matter how good the party is, the music/DJs/parties/drugs/people/anything else about the scene was WAY better when they first started raving. A jaded raver is not nessicarily old skool, but shares the same views as the old skooler.

And even still there are many ravers that do not fall into any of these categories. So...perhaps a raver is simply one who goes to parties to dance the night away, and loves the music. Interesting concept, hey?

And we all thought it was about the drugs. *sarcasm

emo kid

(to the tune of "lump" by presidents of the united states of america)

I lingered long at flinders street
hands in pockets and looking at my feet
hairs so slick, looks like I just showered
totally confused all those girls with chihuahua’s

I’m sad, I’m sad, I’m sad
I’m an emo kid
I’m sad, I’m sad, I’m sad
I’ve got an edgy fringe

I linger last in line for trains
trying my best too look depressed and insane
Small things so sad they depress me oh
Don’t you wish you could be an emo

I’m weak, I’m weak, I’m weak
I’m the emo type
I’m weak, I’m weak, I’m weak
Stand here and watch me gripe

All the jocks at school give me a shove
And I’m forlorn cos I’m hopelessly in love
She has black and red hair and her name is heather
She sent me a txt that says I <3 U 4 EVA

I’m dark, I’m dark, I’m dark
I’ve got an emo feel
I’m dark, I’m dark I’m dark
And oilier than an eel

Is my hair dyed ultra black?
I think so
Is my shirt from Dangerfield?
I think so
Is my hood halfway up my head
I think so
Can you only see half my face?
I think so

It probably should be called "let's not take shit too serioulsy and grow a sense of humour". I'm so sorry to all the emo-lovers if I have managed to hurt your feelings. Perhaps you need a good ol' fashioned hug.
