What�s wrong with Emo?

Is it normal to hate EMO so much that I wasted my time posting this on isitnormal.com

What’s wrong with Emo? Not a very hard question to answer, I'm sure you'll all figure it out once they let you out of eighth grade, but just in case you find yourself unable to obtain that coveted C+ on your remedial math test; here, I typed it out for you (Granted, I’m assuming that you can read through that thick layer of hair you have slicked down in front of your eyes, I bet you tell people that it’s just the way your hair naturally grows.) Anyway, back to what’s wrong with emo: teh band members put on teh sad face and sing about teh depression because, though they aren't actually depressed, they just want to FIT IN with the rest of the “NON-CONFORMISTS” (The Hypocrisy is almost palpable). Newsflash: Real Life isn't like The O.C. or whatever show it is that you people watch in secret, there are no Jocks roaming the streets, hell bent on oppressing you whilst they toss around a football. (Judging from what I have experienced anyway; granted I've gone to mostly art schools my entire life.). Also, most emo bands blast sh*tty power chords in attempt to hide the fact that they can't play very well (Take it from someone who plays Piano, Guitar, drums, and even the Harp for f**k sake). To the fans: If you want to listen to sad music, whatever,thats cool, go for it, but I have an idea, why not make it... now stay with me on this one... sad music that’s actually PLAYED WELL (Complete with vocals that are actually sung as opposed to screamed/moaned into a microphone.). You know music that doesn't spam cliché "cut myself, she broke up with me, break my bleeding heart sobsobsob" lyrics. Do yourself a favor; listen to Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, do it now. No excuses. Another thing, listening to sh*tty emo music doesn't make you deep, or more of an individual. Nor will it automatically make you "Against the mainstream". In fact, I'm pretty sure most of the My Chemical Romance/ Fallout Boy/ Hawthorn Heights type bullsh*t is all over MTV. You’re not exactly blowing my mind with your darkness (Or your parent’s mind’s for that matter) when you flip your bangs out from in front of your eye(s) and tell me your favorite band is Good Charlotte.
Do you think it's normal?

I can't believe I wasted my time reading that, as there was simply no point to your rant, but I'll counter with an equally pointless reply. I say let emos be emos if they want to be emos. I think you're being a bit of a bigot for hating someone simply because of the sub-culture they reside in. Sure, it's sort of hypocritical to conform to a 'non-conformist' group in a smaller sense, but that 'non-conformist' group isn't conforming to the larger 'conformist' society that most reside in. So in a way, I guess they are 'non-conformists', even though they apprear to conform to their own sub-society. I guess misery loves company in some cases. If you don't like their music, just don't listen to it.
dude shut the fuck up, dont get me wrong i aint no emo but your a fucking idiot. what a waste of a fucking post!! emo's are people who try and act depressed to fit in, but people like you hate emo's to fit in.
I keep hearing so much about these god damn emos and ive never even seen one, screw them they sound like losers anyways.
E.M.O. = DOGSH1T
I don't like Emo because I'm bombarded with it everyday. I play music, I love music, provided that it is played well. For the most part Emo music is not played well. I'm not going to bother defending my intelligence because there is really no reason for you to believe anything I say.
All I will say is:
I'm probably a lot smarter than you.

@ Corbin, your right this post was pointless, and I'm voting that I am not in fact normal for making it. I recant my statement that "I hate emo." and replacing it with "I strongly dislike emo." I do this, because I have such a deep seeded fear of being branded a bigot on an anonymous "post your problem" website. I am completely terrified of what you twats think of my lil' batman handle.
(The terror, OH NOES!).
lolz
you tool.
EMO= FUCK YOU HOMO!
I found that this post was well written. Who ever wrote it has amazing musical taste ( elliot smith) and a valid hatred for emo people.
I handle whats thrown at me by:
a)fighting crime
b)posting on isitnormal.com
c)crying
d)crying while masterbating
wolken rules.
rightio!
People do what they want. Normally I don;t give a shit.
But people that make illnesses like depression and self mutilation trendy and pety... need to be shot in the foot, smacked with a large blowfish, and assraped by rosie Odonnel.
CBA TO READ THAT!

A Do Hate Emos Though.
I fu c king hate emu fuc k ers.
i hate emo's esspacally after i kissed one now i wish it never happened
wha the...
I remember typing this
@: smithee
smithee = flaming faggot now shut the f*ck up about emos
one of my friends is a retard and he told me he wanted to be a emo, but he changed his mind when i told him must emo guys are gay.
You guys blow..there is nothing wrong with emo!!Your just stereotypical! And eyeliner and hair in front of the face is way attractive
disliking an entire sub culture thingy sounds really close minded to me...hating the music is fine-i dont like country very much myself, but people are people no matter what they do or how they act and it is stupid to insult or purposely hurt anyone
@: aperson
Yep yep
Everyone thinks its ok to be a jerk to someone..
I hate country too!
Alot of people hate emos because they're depressed, and people hate to be around depressed people because it can rub off on them.

So thats why you emos might hear:
"Stfu you emo and go die already."
heh I dunno about emos . . . I have a haircut that is mostly short but I have long bangs that go down to my lip and ppl are all like "EMO EMO" and I was like WTF is emo . . ? and then I found out and it isn't bad so dude . . . don't hate, emos don't bother ppl that much, they're pretty cool and you can't tell emo ppl when you see one. I wear black, have long bang, and I'm bi . . . but I'm not emo I don't wear eyeliner or listen to My Chemical Romance and stuff . . . the point is, stop hating and mind your own business.
I happen to love Elliot Smith and Dashboard Cofessional, woah someone who doesn't convey to this stereotype you assume a percentage of the world applies to just cause I listen to an 'emo' band! Get off your high horse and just accept everyone has differant taste and what you think is crap others don't and some will think what you like is crap, does that really give them the right to judge you? So be nice and don't do it back!
omfg, stereotypes

drop them and we won't have this problem

we are all humans, not different species
i hate people that don't like emo people

if you don't like emo people, I HATE YOU
Huh...you do realize that most of your rant focused around emo music right? When I was done reading, I punished myself for reading that horrendous rant by taking a cold shower. What was the whole point of that post? YOu just go on and on and on and on, on how emo bands aren't really depressed, not being able to play instruments, and blahblahfuckimaretardblahblah BLAH!

Oh yeah...and uh, what does the music have anything to do with the actual "Way of Life" ? Emo music is a part of the culture, but there are thousands of other aspects of emoness that you left out. You suck as a ranter. Leave it to the people who actually know how to argue without cursing and irrationally befalling the curse of a becoming a total asshole.

You just got owned by a 15 yr old.

OWNED!
@: flikr
no one cares
i agree with the music bein a bit crap, but so is rap and rave and basically anything that i don't listen too IMO. bein 18 i'm a bit over the whole 'I'm a ___ so I hate ___s' thing, but when I was younger there were plenty of nice people I knew who would probably be counted as emos (there were assholes too but thats the same with any group).
some of the styles quite nice too. :)
...paragraphs would make it read a bit easier :P

well people can act any way they want...it's their life not yours if they bother you THIS much then you have problems...

"emos" were probably orginated from a disaster in their life, obviously something bad happend that made them like this.

of course if your talking about wemos i agree 100%
What anoying is seeing people so PISSSED about emos that they don't count as one. I have "some" dislike to emo people but holy s**t guys!! o.o
emo people are stupid... look at me im unique... right.... so all you fucks look and act exactly the same.... why exactly? idiots
