that's an amazing hand,

futhermore, i'm not emo.

and even futhermore, lots of music (progressive and non) has what could be considered (when taken into account with the "trend") "emo" influences and even some emo sound (a.k.a. the lyrics are just as depressing for King Crimson's "Epitaph" as they are for say Circa Survive's "Act Appaled"). If we take the music into account, there are "real" emo bands, and the newer "trend" emo bands. Personally, of the both I can enjoy some of it.

Here's a short example of some good, "real" emo-- At-the-Drive-In, Rite of Springs

And some good "trendy" emo: The Fall of Troy, YouInSeries, many of Anthony Green's (of Cicra Survive) side projects (such as The Sound of Animals Fighting) and Circa Survive themselves, and also Portugal. The Man, etc...

For both the list goes on.

So, even though the trend/fashion statement is kind of worthless, let us not disown the whole musical genres because of their tag. I am a MUSIC lover, I'll listen to anything, regardless of tags before I decide whether or not I like it.

I do not dress emo or keep up with the trend/fashion statement, but that's not to say I don't or cannot enjoy some of the music.
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

Something wrong with that?
Not entirely. Just watch her wrists.


That is what makes my daughter mad.She dresses emo,listens to emo music(not exclusively though),and if I say my daughter is emo the first thing I hear is something about either suicide or cutting.

Not about this post but awhile ago I said my daughter was emo,the reply I got was..."Is she a cutter?"

I told my daughter this and she rolled her eyes and said...."the world is full of idiots".

Don't buy into all the stereotypes.
    


I don't buy into all the stereotypes- I did mean it tongue-in-cheek. Perhaps a nice smiley to soften it would have helped. Wink

Yes, I am...








Ok... so I'm not really... but that is me from last year^.  Hahaha, I went emo for a day to piss off the emo kids.  Now I know what it feels like to steam-roll your testicles... those pants were TIGHT.  Hahaha... good times.  One of my many senior-year high school pranks, but by far my best one.  That became totally infamous.  And an angry parent of an emo kid even called the school after I did it in protest.  Never did get in any trouble for it, thankfully.

I tend to despise Emo music and Emo people, but there are exceptions of course (in the case of People, the music is all bad in my opinion).

As far as Emoo goes, the fail to understand the meaning of depression, they simply openely despondent becasue it is en vogue, not becasue they are genuinely sad.
