Prog / Emo / Somewhere in between

Just curious to see where fellow proggers fall.  I am overall optimistic, despite having enlightenment of the many wrongs of modern society.  Of course I have ups and downs, but most people do.  Many people say I act unemotional, but I consider myself to be emotional, especially for a guy.  I can behave very different around certain people and certain places based off my mood.

I have a very pessimistic view of things that everybody I meet notices almost right away(it's my sarcasm I swear)

I'll put somewhere in between cause I do have my happy moments...just not that often.

A little bit I suppose.  I've always wondered, and after seeing those test results (not specifically yours, just all of them in general), I decided to make a poll out of it.

Adolescence is an awkward stage, and a lot of people go through at least one phase of depression during it.  I did, but grew out of it.  I should have made seperate poll options for younger members (under 18), and the rest of the members (18 or over), since I think being an adolescent has a large effect on a person's outlook on life.

I used emo in the title as sort of a half-joke or something.  Sometimes I say I'm listening to "emo" music when I'm really listening to something emotional that isn't part of the "emo" genre at all just for laughs.

Was this poll inspired by moi?

I'm as pessimistic as they come, my soul is black like the grim reaper's mantle.



f**k life.

Usually melancholic and moody. Maybe that's just a Spring's dicease. Nothing common with Emo - I'm sure they won't endure a single A SILVER MT.ZION track I use to listen to!

I'm pessimistic but also cynical, so I wouldn't be considered emo. 

I'm slightly pessimistic at times, but mostly optimistic and stress-free.
