Welcome to Gaia! ::

heart Why I hate the 'Introspectives who wander the shadows.'

The reason I hate the Emo trend (NOTE: I do not hate the people. I hate the emo trend, and what it DOES to the people.) is because it promotes other peoples problems. Those belonging to the Emo trend tend to promote their troubles to other people, usually people they don't know. They usually do so by wearing shirts or accessories, or simply by using words.
Basically, the people in the emo trend are saying: "Pity me, I am emotionally upset." OR "I'msodepressed, that makes me cool."
They are burdening other people with their whiney, pitiful,pathetic nonsense.

DEPRESSION IS DIFFERENT FROM EMO. People who are actually depressed DO NOT PROMOTE IT. They won't wear big signs on themselves that say "Look at me, I'm depressed. I'm fishing for pity." rofl

More reasons WHY I dislike emo are obviously on the Emo Thread, and on the front page.

As said I don't like the trend, stereotypical sense. If people are in touch with there emotions, good for them- its when they lose that and in sense only feel the negative emotions. They make their own lives unhappy, and then complain about it to others, when there is something that they can do about it. Most of the 'emo's' I have meet suddenly turn towards animal rights and push the littlest thing as wrong that they themselves did the day before. They follow the lyrics of must of their music like a cult- becomming veggans, depressed, and the like. The musicians might actually feel this way, but that doesn't mean that the listeners should follow like lemings. If they would be themselves and believe in stuff like that instead of trying to seem cool, then I could respect it.

I hate emos because I've slapped too many of them for enabling people who are actually depressed to cut. Meaning that I took the knife and raged at a poor little emo kid who promptly said I didn't understand them.

I hate emos because they made cutting a fad. I hate emos because I have scars on my body and am labelled as a twit face because of it. I started the whole deliberately harming myself thing long long long before emo as a genre was even established. No one ever knew why the little eleven year old girl was trying to kill herself. Maybe it was because she was a pariah at school and people physically and mentally abused her.

I hate emos because they take all the seriousness away from teen depression. It's a serious thing and they make a travesty of it. A depressed teen crying for help gets smacked and called emo because of these selfabsorbed twits.

I hate emo. Because they make my life more difficult.

Well, lets see my reasons:

1) The whining about their "horrible" lives. People everywhere have it worse. Way worse, and yet they feel it's neccessary to b***h and moan about it

2) Originality. Emo is just as original as Marylin Manson wearing eyeliner (sorry mate, others did it way before you, no offense).

3) "No one understands me" Oh yeah, we understand you all right. We just hate you. If I had a dollar for every time an emo has said that, I'd be loaning money to Bill Gates.

4) THE MUSIC. If you can call it music. To me it sounds like a bunch of whining with sound in the background (okay, 'cept maybe a few decent drummers, THATS IT). I'm a musician. I've been playing music for 7 years, and I can play five instruments, so I'd obviously be really PISSED OFF to see some idiots on stage playing the same staccatoed chord over and over and over again and getting famous for it! OMG do emo's really LISTEN to the music? It's like listening to a bad video game song on repeat. And since we're on the subject, anyone notice how emo's "headbang" on stage? They bend over. No lie. They bend over really far and slightly nod their heads.

Okay, I let that out. Sorry about #4 being so long, but I obviously hate how such crappy music can be so populat nationwide. It's like the boy bands of the 90's all over again, but with eyeliner.

Mostly, I hate Emos because they are average people pretending to be depressed to get attention, and are too wussy to go full-goth. Yeah, I said it Emos! You're all lame goths!!
And I'm not hot about Goths either. stare

Agreed. But it's not an imitation of goth/punk. It's roots are in the hardcore scene. ;D

As they say: know thine enemy.

The only thing they have remotely in common with goth is the whole black thing... which is why a lot of emos hide under the facade of goth... a little pathetic.
