I heard if an emo bites you then you become an emo as well.

You just don't understand. None of you do. ;_;

k. im an emo k. i uhhh so unfair....

Ive read this whole thread and theres been some really stupid answers.. In my humble opinion.. This is life! Everyone will be different from scangers to knackers to metal heads goths skaters etc etc and all these groups will find a way to be annoyed at the other group? Im sure you all very much understand that?

Like regular joes will have problems with skaters cause they wreck property(which they do, im a skateboarder)

and skaters have a problem with skangers and knackers(which they do)

Theres not a damn thing anyone can do to stop any of this!

I personally have no problems with "emos" and ive friends who are "emo" and there sound out.. None of them cut themselves or are anyway depressed

People I agree with have been cremo and karl and a few others whoms names I forget sorry.. They have not been biased to anything there just saying why does everyone care?


Will add more later... back to work now

dazftw

to add I think the only "real emos" are in Dublin the rest are in the US. its all just different groups of people who like different things.. sports/music/dress style etc etc. As for the trend thing ive been told sooo many times ill be after stoping skating when I reach 17 - 18.. I just turned 19 and dont plan on stopping.. Ive been doing it 6 years. Its like what hurling/football is to most people that do it into there 20's - 30's whats the difference?

A fine example would be.. I was the other day at the new "skatepark" in Waterford City, now ive put skatepark in quotes because its for skateboarders, bmxers and rollerbladers

There was skangers and posers there and one of our friends who is "emo" at the same time just to see it..

Now the posers where getting in the way all over the place and the skangers where there drinking and smoking and complaining why are we here with these handicaps and hippies? also jeering us when we fell or whatever.. They abused our emo friend telling him he looked like a girl in his tight pants.. I really dont get that! Again and this is the third time I think ive said it, why does anyone care and why cant everyone either get along or just leave it be?

Thats a good question..

why does anyone care and why cant everyone either get along or just leave it be?

I dont think it can be answered? Or can it?

Now that was all probably waffle and made no sense to anyone but it made sense to me and I hope it did to other people... I suspect either someone to argue with me and taunt/make fun of me in someway or agree with something ive said I just thought this was a really interesting topic to post on!

God I sound so emo there lol :rolleyes:

(one last thing)Personally ive no problem with anyone in this whole world.. I only have problems with people who have problems with me... I think everyone can agree with this?

I thought "emo" kids were harmless (except to themselves I mean). I would rather a bunch or emo kids hanging around a town centre rather than some tracksuit wearing skangers

I may have asked this question before, but i cant remember.

What the hell is an EMO?

Ive know the big red EMO buttons on machine tools and the like, but what does EMO mean when used in reference to a group of people?

I'd also like to know

Google Rod Hull. He is the king of Emo. all EMO people percieve him as
the "daddy"

I think it may have something to do with petrol station.

Emo is not being able to tell the difference between boys and girls...

It basically a bunch of boy who look like girls, and girls who look like boys, carrying years of emotional grief and torment because their mother asked them to clean their room. THey also listen to the most whiney bitch music ever and constantly believe its them against the world.... and the world is kicking ass.

But google cant give the colourful interpretation that the beautiful people of boards.ie bring to each and every topic

of course that link wont work cos of the censor but...yeah.

Emo is certainly less predominant in Ireland compared to the USA: mostly due to the early influences of Punk from the UK and it just went onto Metal and Hardcore from there.

You'll find people here that listen to a lot of Emo music or some, and dont dress or act the part - unlike America, where they all sit in Denny's at 1AM drinking coffee or water (if they're broke) and still have the same wavy ass haircut that they think makes them look like "one of the beautiful people".

Another way to look at it is a much softer version of grunge.

but honestly, the best info on the matter of EMO is here:

It's the music I have a problem with - stuff like Evanescence, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park. It's fu_cking atrocious! And the look is really mainstream - Avril Lavigne dresses like that.
The way these bands consider themselves so dark and "goth" - laughable! It's just catchy pop music with guitars and vocalists who act like they're in pain.

As a previous poster said, it's a phase, just like my rage against the machine phase I'm going through.

I Live in America and im happy to report that since ive been here (4weeks now) i have seen the sum total of 0, yes 0, emo freaks here! Its f*cking awsome!
Maybe its because its nearly 40 degrees everyday and its sunny all the time so their gay looking makeup would run, but whatever it is they are not here! Maybe they finally looked in the mirror and realised what they look like,who knows, but i sure do hope this emo-disappearance trend hits all you guys back in Ireland soon! Its fan-f*cking-tastic!
All the chicks are hot,wear sweet F.A clothes all the time and no Black clothes from head to toe! Maybe they all left here and went over to Ireland!?

scottledeuce

Im not sure if anybody has mentioned Hope is emo but it's about as close of an impression of the majority emo kids as you see round central bank,

Thankfully i can say iv'e been working in Spain for the past 6 months and have only seen one who was obviously very upset about the fact that she had to go away on holidays with her parents to the south of Spain for a few weeks

I think people who take the piss/complain about them are the people with problems in all fairness!

Why should what one person wear/listens to/look like/act annoy you? Its a low as racism and your Obviously not willing to accept change.

btw TS how old are you?

Baa i am the devil, burn in hell baa. Slit my rists burn my mother, baaa the devil is coming.

How do you get an emo kid out of a tree?




















Cut his rope.

how many emos, does it take to change a light bulb?

















none, they would rather sit in the dark

Isn't it strange how both Goth and Emo culture is almost the exclusive preserve of upper class kids. Most are clearly rebelling against mommy and daddy, but will soon pop into line when daddy buys them an SUV for their eighteenth birthday.

I've made it my mission to give out free hugs to emo kids. This only occurs when I've been drinking though

I wish my hair was emo, then it would cut itself. Sick of paying for it.

Why is it only them that hang around shopping malls? Like dogs waiting for scraps of food. Or probably waiting for a Record Store owner to chuck some shít Emo CDs out the window.

That is so true. 18th birthday is a bit unfair though. I'd at least give them til 23. That gives them time to drop out of their sociology and philosophy/art degree and switch to commerce, then get a job in Goldman Sachs.

I feel like I've aged ten years reading this thread. emo's :rolleyes: What'll they think of next.

not really sure about that.

I suppose you could say that all scangers are from lower class backgrounds and their lifetime ambitions are to see who can get to the top of the dole queue every thursday morning

Don't forget to mention not being understood and being at odds with the world. Also do they make adult versions of these emo chicks of which you speak?

In my experience an emo relationship consists of a guy in his late teens/early twenties with his arm wrapped around a girl in her very early teens.
