The real "emo" died with Elliot Smith when he cut his wrists and died in October of 2003. Most of the "emos" nowadays haven't even heard of elliot smith. Music that is comsidered "emo" nowadays is just hardcore, nothing more, nothing less. except s**t like fall out boy.
which is really just that : s**t.

what is wrong with this picture?...emo is music...not a group of people, and then people think it means emotional...if that were true...then everyone would be "emo"...i seriously think its stupid when people call people emo, and then call bands like simple plan emo...and fall out boy..and it makes me angry...and what is even worse...is when people call themselves emo, i have been labeled since junior high...then i was called "goth" i had like only jeans and plaid pants, wore band t-shirts and cartoon shirts...and i had a stud band...aparently thats goth to them...i listened to punk, i still do, i listen to punk rock, ska, hardcore, Oi!, emo, Screamo, and post hardcore, now mostly scream and emo and even some techno punk/ techno emo stuff. and i get called emo, though i dont dress different....at all...or act really...so fksajdf;sdjfdsaj;lfs, if you think im wrong, i know your wrong, if you think im right, then congradulations, you have a brain in your skull...hmm...if i think of more to say i will edit...

I know what you mean.

I've been known as the creepy, psychotic, quiet girl baisically my whole life.

Not this year...
No, this year, I'm emo...
And why am I emo?
Apparently, it's because of the music I listen to.
It's because I'm not happy-go-lucky 24/7( I have my bad days, don't we all?)
It's because of how I dress (even though I've dressed in 'odd' ways my entire life)

I'm getting kinda tired of this labeling thing...
And yes, I know that there is no way of escaping it.

Society deserves to die.

Ahhh yes
Totally agree with ye there
Even though only a few people
call me "goth" because of the things I like
and "emo" because of the music I like
if you take one look at me
You REALLY wouldn't think I'm emo at all

green day punk? BLASPHAMY!!!...green day is one of the worst bands EVER, and are certainly not punk, and you said they werent emo, who in there right mind would call them emo?????...green day is pop rock, and they suck horribly

Thank you ever so much!
Whenever I say,"I hate Green Day.", people always jump on me yelling stuff about how Green Day is "The Most Awesomest Band EVER!!", and no matter how much I say they are the worst band in history, no one ever believes me.
So thank you, Good Sir, for having a sense of taste. 3nodding

I really dont think it's worth having a biig discussion over.. if people label themselves emo or label themselves anything they're wannabes, if other people label them then they can decide whether that person is right or not. Emo is a style of music & a band shouldnt really be put under labels like emo but they are... so get over it eh ?!

You act like the ring lead and you decide whoes is labeled what and ( where I am from) you and decide what you want the defination of what you have been labeled.

i do not think it is worth time to have this discussion because i am sure we all have heard it many-a times over and over again...it has become a cliche to start this conversation not to mention annoying in my view

Ok, I am srry, but ur right and wrong. Ur right cuz emo isnt a lable for humans, but for a type of music. BUT ur r wrong about the emo not meaning emotional. The history of "emo bands, and clothes" goes back about 10, 20 years ago. Back then ppl didnt put a whole lot of emotion into their music. And they didnt really wear "different" things. But a group of ppl decided to be "non-comformists" and decided to make their own type of music, known as emotional music. Or Emo music for short. And they even made their own type of clothes. Their music and clothes were based off of "Gothic music and clothes, and Soft Rock music and clothes" After a few years, industries decided to make "Emo" clothes, based off of the new group of friends that started emo. This made the label "Emo" for humans occur. And ever since then ppl have been called emo if they wear "emo". And also, punk and emo have been confused. Example, Green Day is NOT emo, they r PUNK.

Please type out your words darling. ur is spelled "your" and r is spelled "are". Go finish high school.
