Emo

[jle1993]

I will state something you all should know.
Emo did not originaly mean a often depressed and/or upset person, thats what goths are for.
Before some morons changed it, Emo mean emotional in all senses, including Rage and Joy.

I am an Emo and I am so goddamn sick of people calling me a depressive just because I choose to express myself.

Rant Over

Feel free to close the thread down if it seems approprate

[gort]

I knew that, but thanks for clearing it up for others, Jle!!

Beats idiotic headbanging, eh??

[Cloverfield]

You may be expressing yourself, but your also therefore depressing.

[gort]

I find depressing music cheers me up.....

Some people mistake slow, beautiful music as being depressing, though...

[jle1993]

Smokey, I can be depressing, but I can also cheer people up and scare the crap out of them later too.

Gort, damn right it beats head banging, that hurts

[Cloverfield]

I didn't say you couldn't. Just saying that if you really express yourself, you're expressing all sides of you.

[jle1993]

And thats depressing?

[Cloverfield]

No, sometimes you can be depressing...everyone can. We all have our moments.

[jle1993]

Yup, thats true enough.

[gort]

I'm depressed now.

[jle1993]

Poor Gort, whats wrong?
Or is it just one of those day?

[gort]

I was kidding...all this talk about depression, ya know....

[Pazuzu]

Gort, damn right it beats head banging, that hurts

Yup, head banging hurts! My mate and i have both hurt our necks from head banging at a gig we went to on Friday! Oops!

My cousin is Emo in the original sense of the word too. She also gets annoyed when people misuse the term!

[gort]

Ya know what's fun???


Headbanging to Enya songs.

In public.

[jle1993]

Or not...

[Pazuzu]

*puts head in hand* oh dear gort... *rolls eyes*

[gort]

What a bunch of chickens!!!

Bah-cawk!!!

[jle1993]

Chicken!

Is it Chickenly to get on stage and act insane?!

[gort]

Why on Earth would you get on a stage to do that?????

THAT.....I would not do.....

[jle1993]

I did it coz it was part of my roll, so nyah

[gort]

You had an acting part headbanging to Enya songs??



Sounds like Sonntag, to me.....weird...

[jle1993]

NO, I had to act insane

[gort]

Oh.

I acted for a while. My best acting buddy in school had his own tv show for a while...

[jle1993]

Wicked!

[gort]

It was a show called Lucan....about a guy who changed into a wolf to fight crime or something...it was awful...

He was also the first guy to get shot in 'The Long Riders'....
Kevin Brophy....

[jle1993]

Erm, I never heard of him...sorry

[gort]

Nobody has.....it's okay!!!

[1B-DI]

Great, now I've got the Emo song stuck in my head again.

[jle1993]

:lol: Sorry

[1B-DI]

"I'm an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You'd be non-conforming too if you looked just like me..."

Funny stuff!

[jle1993]

:lol:
Funny as hell

Dear Diary, Mood-Apethetic

My life is spiraling deathward. I couldnt get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert. It sucks because they play some of my favorite songs like Stab My Heart Because I Love You and Rip Apart My Soul and of course Stab Me Rip Stab Stab and it doesn't help that I couldnt get my hair to do that flippy thing either like the guy from that band can do.

I'm an emo kid, nonconforming as can be
You'd be nonconforming too if you looked just like me
I got paint on my nails and makeup on my face
I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs

Cause I feel real deep when I'm dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression girls just call me a fag
Cause the dudes look like chicks and chicks look like dykes
Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

I'm dark and sensitive with low self esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sisters mascara now I'm grounded for a week

Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can't get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me its never any fun
They say they already have a pussy they don't need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo
I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

...My life is just a black abyss you know? Its so dark and its suffocating me, grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip. Tighter than a pair of my little sisters jeans...Which look great on me by the way...

When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped give me an erection
I write in a LiveJournal and wear thick rim glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes

I'm just a bad, cheap imitation of goth
You can read me 'Catcher in the Rye' and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said I like girls, I'd only be half right

I look like I'm dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo
Screw Xbox I play old school nintendo
I must be emo
I like to whine and hate my parentals
I must be emo
Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be eeeeeeemo

...My parents don't get me ya know? They think I'm gay just because they saw me kiss a guy...well a couple of guys but I mean its the 2000's can't 2 or 4 guys makeout with eachother without being gay? I mean chicks dig that kinda thing anyways.
I don't know diary sometimes I think you're the only one who gets me. You're my best friend.


I feel like tacos

[1B-DI]

[1B-DI]

They are hilarious!

[gort]

The line 'flipping hair' reminded me....he's my fave....the little hair dude!! LOL

[jle1993]

:lol: Brilliant Gort

[gort]

Thanks!!!

Look at our poor, sad little Stan....there on the end.....

Because of a woman....

Sigh....

[1B-DI]

Ah, unrequited love.

*it hurts*

[gort]

Story of my life.........



........sigh.....

[1B-DI]

Yup. I've pretty much given up.

At the tender age of (almost) 23....:P

[gort]

That's the silliest, most wrong thing I've ever heard!!

[1B-DI]

Well, I'm a silly person.

[Pazuzu]

I love the emo song! :P It's funny! I want ot put it on my i-pod now! :P *goes to look for it*

[Olikunmissile]

to be honest, i was stupid enogh to date an emo, thats probably what made me hate them so much, if you are an emo, please do not be offended, i am friends with a few, but i am not fond of them....

[jle1993]

Nah, used to be emo, but it hurt too much and I don't like seeing my own blood, so I switched to inderviduality

[1B-DI]

Is that jle back for another visit? How you doing?

[Gazereths]

Sorry but WTF is an emo?

[jle1993]

@Gaz, it means emotional

@BD, I'm good, I'm alive, so I'm good.

[gort]

Yeah....right.....but, there HAS to be an alternate explaination for the hatred of 'EMOs'....
What's with bloodletting, anyway?

Guess I'm confused.
I thought 'emos' were people who liked dark music and felt sorry for themselves....

[1B-DI]

Gaz needs to check out the emo song a few posts up :)

[1B-DI]

My biggest problem with emos is that they're often kids with no real problems who mutiliate themselves. And who wants to see someone who's sad and cries all the time? I'd rather be around fun people. I can understand some people have true issues with depression, believe me--I've had my share of that myself--but many of the emo kids I've known come from good families and they're just seeking attention.

[jle1993]

The bloodletting is a common way for depressed people to deal with guilt or anger or other emotions they can't deal with, the emos took it and made it so no-one took depressed people seriously and so the suicide rate increased

[gort]

That's not an 'emo'.................that's a 'Psycho'.....

Plus......you have to EARN your distress...your anger....your loss.....your PAIN!!!!

I see 15 year olds who are SO sad about life!!

JEEZE!!!!

If I owned agun....I would WANT you to use it!!!

F**king posers......

[jle1993]

Thanks for that massive boost to my self confidence Gort, I never thought of myself as a poser, at least I certainly didn't last Friday night

[gort]

DUDE!!!!

I wasn't talking TO you, or ABOUT you!!!!

It's sad to be sad...................I KNOW!!!

I was just randomly posting.....

[gort]

Wait..................Friday night?????

[Olikunmissile]

dudes and dude-ettes, dont go emo, it sucks, and i dont like em...

[jle1993]

Yes Gort, last Friday, why the hell did you think I was off all week?

[Pazuzu]

There's nothing wrong with emos (I mean the real ones, not the ones who are just at the depressed extreme) But what is there to not like about emos?

[jle1993]

I could think of a few things, for both types

[Pazuzu]

I can think of plenty for the overly depressed variety, and I know everyone has something unlikeable about them, but what particularly do you not like about other emos?
My cousin is emo, and there's not a lot not to like about her really!

[jle1993]

Over expresive and in your face.

[Olikunmissile]

i just feel, if they are so depressed, and REALLY wanna die, go jump in front of a bus, like my motto...

Life sucks, people are stupid, deal with it!

[1B-DI]

There's this song I like and part of it goes:

You're not the only one whose life's a piece of sh*t
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it

(I kinda think the song is aimed at the emo culture.)

[Olikunmissile]

go them! emos make me soooooo angry!

[1B-DI]

If you wanna have a listen, the song is called You'll Rebel to Anything (as Long as It's Not Challenging) by Mindless Self Indulgence :)

[Olikunmissile]

hmm, ill look that up, look up "tickle me emo" on youtube...

[1B-DI]

I've seen that video, it cracked me up! LOL

[Olikunmissile]

i know, its so life like!

[jle1993]

i just feel, if they are so depressed, and REALLY wanna die, go jump in front of a bus, like my motto...

Life sucks, people are stupid, deal with it!

Some people can't just deal with it, and depression is a medical condition. Sure some emo losers just act depressed, but real sufferers have real problems, and yes they want to die. I should bloody well know you goddamn pig, I was off last week recovering from an overdose that I only survived because I threw up most of the pills, though not volenteraly. You think I should jump in front of a bus or car? Because I've tried most other opitions. People like you who can't see past the nose on your face and think that people should have to just 'deal' with problems make me sick, as I said before, some people can't just deal with it, me included :evil:

[1B-DI]

Wow, hun. I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't really know what else to say. I've been in that position before and I know what you're going through, and I really hope you've found something or someone to help you. If I could go back in time to myself at your age, I'd just wanna hold her hand and tell her everything would be okay--not easy, not the way I'd planned, but okay; and worth all the sadness and pain because really, life is just too short to be miserable all the time. Once I got past all the crap, the people using me as a garbage disposal, the depression, I managed to do some pretty cool things and I hope I'm able to do more in the future. But the road is never easy.

I hope you know that if you ever need to talk, or vent, your 'virtual' big sister is just a message away. :)

[Olikunmissile]

woah, woah, woah,

you frakkink know what, in the space of 3 years, BOTH of my brothers have died!
One died of a brain tumor!
the other was in a car accident, he was walikng along minding his own buisness as a car pulled up onto the street, hit him and he went down the the car hit a wall reveresed, and DECAPITATED him!

i have also lost my dad, both my grand parents, and my uncle!
when i was 8, my friend drowned! i can still see his face clear as day in my head!

YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH ISSUES!

i have moved house 2 times that has fcked up all of my gcse's, i AM moving again in less than a month!

now tell me your life is fcked up, im only 16 for christ sakes!

[0]

wow.....

[Olikunmissile]

SO DONT ANY OF YOU TELL ME YOUR LIFE IF SH*T! IM PROBABLY SCREWED FOR LIFE, I WILL BE MOVING THE THE MIDDLE OF MY GCSE EXAMS! DONT ANY OF YOU MOAN ABOUT HOW MESSED UP YOUR LIFE IS UNLESS IT IS AS BAD AS MINE!

and do you know what, i dont bloody moan about it,

i said that in my defence

[1B-DI]

You know what, we all just need to calm down here.

[Olikunmissile]

do you know what, i dont, people think their lives are so bad, and are so depressed, look at my life, its CRAP and so i fcking slit my wrists? NO! come on, impress me jle, how bad is your life compared to mine? come on, how bad is it really?

[1B-DI]

Oli, I think you've made your point. Now calm down or I will lock this thread.

[Olikunmissile]

ugh, i am clam, but if she calls me insults me again, your gonna have to ban me, cos i will show you what im like when im not calm

[jle1993]

I only fcking insulted you because you say depressed people should just deal with sh*t.
My life, my brief 13 yr life, consists of my dad beating the sh*t out of my mum, and holding me infront of him so she couldn't hit back. I've been used as an ash tray for his cigerettes untill we moved away from him when i was six. Since then I haven't stayed at the same school for more than two years at most, and at every school I go to I have to endure insults and more often than not I get beaten up, at least once per week. The last time I visited my asshole father, whos dying of cancer, all he did was say how fat I've gotten. Most female memebers of my family have had ovarien cancer, and more than one has died, my great aunt is also dying of cancer so she'll join the list of the deceased soon enough. Most of my family is over two hundred miles away, I don't get on with my step dad, and if you lived next door you'd be able to here the screaming matches. The only 'friends' I have now are the ones who agree to let me hang about with them if i do their homework. Every boyfriend I've had so far has either cheated on me or decided to hit me. So yeah, you're life is fcked up, but so is mine. :evil:

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, I've slit my wrists before, I've ODed 5 times at least, I tried to suffercate myself, strangle and choke myself. i've been doing this sorta thing since I was 8.

[0]

once again wow...

[Olikunmissile]

HEY! atleast your dad is still alive, and if ya didnt know, thats the reson my mum left my dad! cos he used to beat her! he pushed me down the stairs once, cos i told him to stop! and broke one of my arms and legs!

[1B-DI]

Okay, this is getting out of hand. Thread locked.

[frys_red_jacket]

good call beady, ive only just seen what was going on, did get a bit out of hand there
