This "emo" thing.

It's more of a scene kid thing anyway.
I'm currently wearing skinny jeans to be 'ironic'. Also I have pretty long skinny legs so whatever.
My favourite bands are slayer, lamb of god, unearth, parkway drive, throwdown etc etc.
So it's not an emo thing just FYI.

Captain Planet said:I'd also like to add, the Emo fad, as well as making you look absolutely stupid in clothes, also makes you look absolutely stupid in musical taste. When I say taste I really mean lack of guidance in what is actually real good music. The kind of crap I hear is just another take on the boy band genre of the 90's but with guitars and the most common fashion at present thrown in i.e. slit your wrists, moan a lot, wear make up, get some really pants tattoo's and write love songs with some god awful chords and pain staking vocals.
Most of these kid's *think* they are following something individual and new and fail to realise that band's like My Chemical Romance, Bullet and Taking back Sunday are just well marketed puppets of the soulless music labels that sign them up. For example, MCR headlining at Download festival this year, and where will Lamb of God be in all this, about 12 in the afternoon I bet!It makes me cry.
Erm, MCR and TBS are fully grown men, fairly decent at what they are doing for a living and I don't think trends come into their life as strongly as kids with no life...
Correct me if i'm wrong but i think theres actually a significant difference between the emo f*g trend and music that goes over the top with sentimentality
However bfmv if thats who I think you mean are just pure NO SWEARING, I remember one of their songs being called 'Suffocating under words of sorrow' or something... thats just lack of intelligence.
Lamb of God service male meat...

haha just thought ad say.....a got ma hat back!!!!!!! 
Wasn't too bad a few years ago, but then it became properly ridiculous when everyone and there brother became emo's at secondary schools.
Originally they looked fairly normal, but now there's ****** ridiculous fringes and hairstyles which look stupid/female.
Load of ponces now
Listened to some of that music when I was younger, but it was different, because now it's only whining music that's produced(a la MCR).
Annoying.

why is that then, seeing as i know they are and it was more of a retorical question.
Everyone that wears them properly does it with some style. They wear winklepickers, fred perry/ben sherman tight polo tops, macs and have a strange affnity to the beatles.
None of them look remotely emo.I know thats where it originated from, just watch quadrophenia, a film well before your time, and well worth watching.

tbh, I LOLed more at you implying that Lamb of God are not "just well marketed puppets of the soulless music labels that sign them up". MCR aren't that bad if you take them as what they are (a throwaway pop group making throwaway pop songs)

That's coz they mamas boys
It's turning around, women wearing mens sized jeans is in fashion now
Only had a backpack on once though, that's because I was filming and spare tapes, etc were in there. Good thing some of the places make you take your bag off (Pressure Point).
Why's everyone getting so uptight about it?
They arent that bad, apart from the stupid "self harm is cool" stuff and the girls jeans, they arent bad people. Just seriously misguided thinking that they are all individual when really, they're just the same as the next emo
Saying that, I'd rather have emo's than chavs, who dont just annoy me with their dress sense and music, its the fact the majority are trouble making goits.
Its just like any other fashion, it will pass, and in a couple of years time, it will be the turn for a modified emo trend, "Elmo" where everyone goes round in red fluffy suits, and insead of self harm, just tickle themselves out of depression
EDIT - oh dear, I seem to have been beaten to the elmo/emo joke, needless to say, a lawsuit will be followed for the idea stealing gypsy that did it
