What's an emo?

Was searching around myspace and found a friend from highschool. He's emo!!!!! :eek: omg, he's in this emo band and omg..... I need to get off this thing

I went to an outdoor party/gathering at a castle a couple of weeks back. Turned out to have a combination of 5 parties rolled into one consisting of numerous emo/chav types. I heard a rumour the emos were saying comments along the likes of "Omg i know you, you're on MySpace".

These guys pretty much encapsulate what I believe to be Emo kids in an Emo band.



They're called Aiden, and they're bloody awful (no surprises there then, being in an Emo band and all...)

Aren't they goths? :confused:

One word, Burberry.
(All) You may be interested in this little tidbit: In the US, Burberry is worn by businessmen who want to look important but really aren't. It comes in the form of scarves and the linings of trenchcoats. They drive low-end BMWs, are constantly on a conference call on their mobiles, and don't know that their wives have been running around on them for the last 3 years. :p

So what?
I've seen someone who added me on myspace in a club before and said hey...

In sight, i guess some people would label them that but in sound, punk without a doubt. I suggest downloading 'Die Romantic' and 'The Last Sunrise'.
Downloading? OMG MUSIC PIRATE!
You make me sick sir.

That's a great site, this really made me laugh...

"No pseudo-intellectual is complete without a pair of ultra-hip "EMO" glasses. Just put them on and let the smart vibes flow. A mere glance and people will be able to tell that you're the type of person who reads Dostoevsky. You won't be mistaken for anything short of an astro-physicist, or a theoretical physicist of some sort. All physicists go to stupid raves, bleach their hair, and listen to angst-filled punk music because they don't want to seem uncool in front of the other scientists.

If you want to go the extra mile and really seal the deal, wear plugs in your ear lobes so you have giant nasty sagging flaps of skin hanging off of your head. It'll look great when you pull your head out of your ass and go to a job interview some day. Then again, you're EMO; you don't need a job. You're totally unique, and all unique people wear box-framed nerd glasses. Even though real nerds wear glasses like these, they're not cool because they wear their glasses out of necessity. "

try :

13 Jack Daniels and coke.

2 pints of stella.

2 pints of strongbow.

5 or 6 sambuka shots.

1 vodka and coke.

- hardly anything to eat *edit*:(

dont remember much apart from blurting out crap.

Sounds like an average night to me. Hell even my girlie housemates drink a couple of bottle of wine like its water when your stuck in a desert.

One thing i haven't seen yet is an emo vs chav brawl. It would be great as the chavs would start it with 'What the **** you looking at'. Then the emos would moan to the chavs about razor blades and how they will all start cutting themsevles, then the chavs would go on about their brothers who are in the army and have pimped up novas who'd come and get em. innit!

Hm, wonder why it became a bit more, down market? Sure it's still expensive but i guess the 'fake Burberry' boosted the market for the, people with less money? /shrugs.

The MySpace thing, it's a known thing that there are quite a few, hm, emo profiles on MySpace so it was amusing seeing them all together talking excitedly about MySpace and reciting posts word for word. See image earlier on in the thread for an 'emo picture'...
