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.

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.
a)fighting crime
b)posting on isitnormal.com
c)crying
d)crying while masterbating
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.
A Do Hate Emos Though.
Everyone thinks its ok to be a jerk to someone..
I hate country too!
So thats why you emos might hear:
"Stfu you emo and go die already."
drop them and we won't have this problem
we are all humans, not different species
if you don't like emo people, I HATE YOU
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!
some of the styles quite nice too. :)
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%%
But, you are judging people by their personal style and music taste! You think that anyone who does anything that a stereotypical emo might do IS that stereotype!
Personally, I love screamo and other 'emo' types of music, as well as the style. But i am a perfectly happy person, and I don't do it to be cool (which it isn't), or for attention. I do it because I am just being myself, and I just LIKE it! the same reasons that 'normal' people dress and act the way they do.
weird how guys with eyeliner should be hot but damn it they just are!!
It was a well-written post, but I kind of wish I could have those few seconds of my life back.
Why hate a subculture because you think they make horrible music? Just let them be and listen to the music YOU love. Err... I hope it's not anger issues... This hatred you have for emos is comparable to my brother's hatred of some kid who was bragging about his nonexistent basketball skills. Let the kid brag. How does his boastfulness pertain to YOU, specifically?
So what if My Chemical Romance or whatnot got on MTV? Are you jealous that they are and you're not? Who cares. Listen to what YOU like, be who YOU want to be, and just live your life in peace (and let those emo kids live in peace, as well). Problem solved.
I don't believe it's a valid reason to hate people if they're doing what they like and they're not harming you in any way.
does it not occur to you that someone may be emo because they actually have something to be depressed about
you're being sterotypical and it's pointless
not all emo's listen to just emo music and im sure people that are not emo might like those bands
1. You're bashing other ppls hairstyles and clothing well some people find the emo style attractive, just like some people like certain colors better, this is just personal taste and you have no right to insult other peoples style. You're just another human and you have no right to judge
2. Music taste .. well I have played classical piano for more than 10 years along with flute and I love classical music but I also love MCR and other bands that are considered "emo" I do not listen to them cuz they're 'emo' I listen to music that appeals to me, and I really love the early MCR stuff. Again you haev no right to judge and say your music taste is better than others
3. Cutting/depression. Its not emos fault that people take these as jokes now, its ppl like YOU, I do not consider myself emo but have been called one just because I have some issues and like the color black, because of people like you, people overlook really serious issues and say they're "stupid emos" or "just trying to get attention", why dont u understand that people DO have issues, including "emos" so just f*** off and let other people be
AND SORRY FOR THE TYPO'S!
