I don't really listen to emo, but this bullshit "LOLOL KILL AND PUNCH EMOS BCUZ DEY R SO FAGGY". I saw the thread on Emo Bashing and warped tour. Warped tour used to be mostly Punk and Ska. Now it's just gone into a mix of bands to get more people and it's causing trouble. Okay, they all dress the same and listen to the same music. Isn't that the same way with the metalheads that were bashing the emos at wt? So they dress "Faggy". Who the hell cares? Why is it such a big deal they dress the way they do? Thoughts? More Complaints?

Emos are colorful Goths, teenagers dont like colorful goths mainly because they bitch about how they want to cut their wrists and look funny. Metal heads that wear spikes are treated the same way. |

you know, the stupid thing is it's not like theres a musical bullying food chain, most every group looks down on another for some reason and its more like a big cirlce, i think its more that "EMO" is so popular right now, but still has that fad feel to it and so it seems to get more heat than other genres.
I think its daft to go for someone just because of what they listen to but i suppose what im saying is it's nothing new really. |

Well I don't bash emos and I'm not an emo either but I guess other people just think that emos are beneath them. |

I remember I set up a thread about Emo Bashing there a while ago...
The amount of closed minded idiots that said Emo's deserved it was crazy. I eventually had it closed because it was too retarded to hear people go "ya well they deserve it for cutting themselves" |

I Posted this in another thread so I'll just post it here.
Ok. I can't stand emo bashing more because of how there is such a lack of intelligence when bashing them that even under the influence I could never take it seriously.
The problem I have with emos is the same problem I have with every little group that associates themselves with a music in every little social aspect of their life.
Its their mindset. Its their narrow minded view that their way is the only way and other groups are inferior or stupid.
When I say "their" I mean rockers, punks, emos, metalheads or every group that separates themselves because of the music they listen to.
Just look at how the people on this forum view Chavs or Wiggers or Townies or whatever the hell you call them. Then that thread about the Chav bebo about anti moshers. How hypocritical are you?
Then the high school-esque cliques like infamous Jocks or Preps. So they're losers because they don't like your music or because they listen to the radio for music? How dare they.
Or there is the classic argument that "Preps" or "Jocks" aren't accepting of us rebellious rockers. Well I sure as hell believe that you wouldn't want to be friends with someone the least bit different from you.
You guys need to see the important things in life and grow the hell up.
Of Course there are exceptions to this. But I wouldn't post this if I didn't see a lot of those exceptions.
My view on people who associate themselves with music. |

I dont care who it is, I wouldnt bash anyone for their choice of musical style, emo or not. I just wouldnt say anything, there is no point you wont change their beliefs and u will just create an enemy. Although I if I see anyone who says for example Led Zeppelin are shit, I just think, omg thats almost a crime against humanity hehe.
The overall point is, who cares who listens to what and what they look/act like? If you are confined to listening to one genre then u should take a look in the mirror. Cos dont rip on other people's musical taste. |

My point is that I don't see why people associate themselves or in other words dress like a certain style of music. I'm not saying you shouldn't I just don't get the mindset. I used to be like that but I realized that it is very limited.
Originality isn't dressing scene or punk or whatever.
Also its really not the emos that bitch about things.
There are people like that in every little group I've been into contact with.
So all of it is hypocritical.
All Emo Music sounds the same?
You could give that argument for every genre.
All Emo's Dress the same?
You could say that about every group.
Emo is the popular thing now and one of the main reasons of all of its criticism is the "all things popular suck" mindset and the "follow the leader" mindset.
Emo bashers usually don't really have a reason its more the cool thing to do. |

true, think of it like this
theres the usually 80% of people who wear t shirts and collared shirts and jeans/khakis/shorts
then theres the people who wear spikes and have nose rings and stuff like that
the 80% hates the freaky ones and bash the others who look the same if they like death metal and that stuff b/c of the lyrics.
Cannibal Corpse- Addicted to Vaginal Skin compared with
James Blunt- Youre Beautiful
one has lyrics that sound more pretty than the other |

I don't mind emo music, infact I apparently listen to some of it. What I can't stand is how majority of the "emo" kids are all clones and dress the same, have the same views just because they should to fit in the emo profile, behave in the same way etc. I dislike this in any group of people anyways so it's not just because they listen to a certain genre of music. It's sad that so many teenagers are acting like a stereotype to show how "different" they are, when all they've done is become the same. |

I hate the current emo phase and how it is 'frowned upon' to be 'emo' by most people because if you even act the slightest bit depressed about something, you can get jipped and outcasted because of it.
If you have a serious problem then it can be hard to find someone who is mature enough to help you with it, instead of pointing you out to others so they can be 'cool'. |

Taste is taste, you acquire it. Think of Emo as a pale ale, and Metal as a dark lager. As far as beer goes, I really don't like the taste of pale ales. I stay away from Saranac, Magic Hat No. 9, etc. but I love Newcastle and Becks Dark. Still, I won't bash you if you are drinking Saranac... I'll bash the taste, I don't like it, but I won't bash you for it. However, I will bash you if you're a fucking moron, whether you're drinking Saranac or Newcastle.
I know 2 people with different tastes in music: 1 of them is one of my closest friends who likes emo music. she is an angel and I love her so much, but occasionally, she's a drama-queen and I call her an emo-faggot, and I let her know she's annoying me. The other person despises emo music, but he's always annoying, always dumb, always on my last nerve, and always whining. I call him an emo-faggot, and let him know he's annoying me. Basically, the term has become an insult, a politically incorrect one. Same as 'faggot', as i'm sure someone somewhere will be offended by my liberal use of it. You see, I call them both emo, while only one listens to emo. I call them both out because of how they are acting, not what they listen to.
So, as far as musical tastes go, listen to what you will, and deny what you will, but don't question one's integrity because of what they listen to; let their actions allow that. |

Joshrocker is right. Listen to him. A lot of people dont get what emo is. they just see someone wearing tight pants and assume 'he must cut his wrists and complain to everyone and listen to Fallout Boy.' But thats completely wrong. some people just like tight pants, ive never heard an emo person complain (but i have heard goths complain) and whats on thae radio is NOT emo. Give real emo music a chance like Silverstein, Chiodos, and TBS. we should really gang up on goths and make fun of them. lol |

As far as emo bashing goes, I dont do it, I dont like it. The reason for this is I refuse to use the term emo, basically because of what the term has become to the general public. The same situation goes with goth and various other stereotypical terms. They words themselves mean different things to different people, so I dont use them. Instead I describe the music/person etc itself, unless people dont actually understand what Im talking about I may use the terms to help describe the person, as a last resort.
Im a "metalhead", but theres no way Id describe myself the same as other metalheads out there because the view everyone sees a metalhead as, is completely different to what most metalheads are actually like. The same goes with emo and every other sub culture. As much as youd like to describe as being very similar, the fact is, they arent. Therefore I dont use stereotypical terms at all, it just creates judgement and social battles. |

You know, if there are people cutting themselves, the last thing they need is someone bashing them for the music they like. I realize that the cutting thing a stereotypical view of the emo kids, but, fuck ... that's heartless. |

You know, if there are people cutting themselves, the last thing they need is someone bashing them for the music they like. I realize that the cutting thing a stereotypical view of the emo kids, but, fuck ... that's heartless. |

listen to what you like, and allow others to do the same. if you dont like it? fine not your taste, but alot of people love emo music so it must be doing something right, same with other genres...( and its to the point if your "emo" or whatever, chances are you dont cut yourself. just more introspective, and less masculant, you dont even even need to be those to be emo. you could have black hair !bam! your emo and people are sure you cut your self. there a million types of emo so dont try to stereotype them, or music for that matter.)
there are shades of gray, almost nothings black and white. |

The only thing I can't stand is those britney spears and other shit like that crap they play on tv. As for the rest, I dont really care.I actually like some emo songs and bands but I cant understand why people have to mimic what they see! This goes for metalheads, emos (the ones you all are apparently talkin about) and so on.I can understand that music can have an impact on your life. It sure did on mine but I cant understand those who follow stereotypes and then get all touchy for being labelled |

I'm a punk, which is almost the same as emo. we listen to pretty heavy stuff dress weird and hate life, but what we don't do is try to die(sometimes). Punks just don't care if they die. people at my school think emo is about the hair. I like emos. |

I like emo. But what I hate is that now since that emo has gotten so huge, anything can be called emo. Like if I was to fall and break a bone and start to cry, before anyone will even help me, they'll laugh and say, "Stop being so EMO!" I hate it. I swear, once I saw a girl wearing pink and that had blonde hair was being called emo. |

I don't know about anyone else, but my issue with emos is how they've affected our views on self-harm and depression. Two serious issues that I've had some experience with (not a cutter myself, but people close to me have fallen into it).
Let's face it, Emo (as a muscial genre that has spiralled out of control to become a sub-culture [not a counter-culture] and worldview) glamorises depression and self-harm. This notion that life is pain, and those who aren't unhappy "just don't get it," is vindicating of depressed behaviour and self-harm as being normal and acceptable, if not meritous. This is utter nonsense, which is immediately apparent
to anyone with even a thimblefull of wit.
The problem is that we start to see the personality issues in the same light as those who try to glamourise them. An Emo is (to quote Dostoevsky), "one of those innumerable simpletons who become infatuated with new fleeting ideas - who, by their silliness throw discredit on the cause they may be greatly infatuated with."
In other words, since Emos are can be insipid and, let's face it, moronic, we start to view issues of depression and self-harm as being symptoms of stupidity. The last thing someone suffering from clinical depression needs is people thinking they're just being silly and Emoish.
Rest assured though, most Emos are not depressed, don't self-harm and won't kill themselves. Therefore they will live to middle-age and look back on those wasted years of youth and think, "Why did I waste all that time being miserable."
Basically, I don't have a problem with people listening to Emo music, or dressing in any particular way. I just wish they would shut up about depression and misery and suffering, for the same reason I wish actors would shut up about politics. They don't know what they're talking about and they're dragging anyone who hears them down too. |

I guesse some people would consider me scene, I just happen to like bright colours, floppy fringes and screamo. I also like Necrophagist and D'n'B. My world views aren't "Everythin sucks and I want to die", but is more life is a state of mind, and there is a positive to everything. I dress "emo" because I enjoy the music and I like the clothes.
Emo bashing is understandable, but there is dickheads in every genre. Metalheads are worse, they are usually up-there-own-arse and consieder anything that isn't "TR00 MEHTALZ" to be bad music. Either that or there insecure because they don't get laid as much as emos(seriously guys, nobody wants to fuck a metalhead).
Ok, went on a bit of an anti-metalhead rant and I appologuise, but its basicly the same as metalheads bashing emos, so maybe you can see my point now. I expect some heavy flaming from some an angry Slayer fan, but my fringe is like a shield of steal!

I certainly find emo music good. Now, what most people think is emo nowadays, it's really not.
Imo, there's no such thing as "emo style", or clothes or whatever, it's just merchandising and media hype. Emo is just a musical subgenre which started during some point of the alternative rock era during early 90's, and most of the bands anybody could MUSICALLY label as emo have disestablished since then. Or just changed their style, as Jimmy Eat World did.
Additionally, I'd like to remark that most of those bands' lyrics were presented in a positive context, contrary to that obsessive-histrionic suicidal image showed nowadays, which is (again, imo) merely based on collective hype and isolated events. |

Emos just have a different way of expressing themselves. We shouldn't be predjudice of people with different musical interests. |

I don't like their music: screamo, emo, scene, whatever, but yeah, I'd be friends with an emo; I just wouldn't listen to their music or whatever. Emo will not "rub off" on you. And I'm a "goth" and a "metalhead" I listen to the music I do because it's beautiful to ME and I dress the way I do because it's what I feel comfortable wearing, not because my favorite bands wear pretty much the same thing. I heard somewhere that the same part of the brain controls music controls fashion and I thought it was a bunch of sh*t, but it may just be true. And people just usually get along better with people they have things in common with.
And whatever mr freezy said about "nobody wants to fuck a metalhead" is not true. I find metalheads attractive; it's just my 'type' and I'd say my 'type' finds me attractive, too. But no, I don't find emos, scene kids,preps, jocks or punks attractive (although punk music is okay). |
