Are we commercial?

[Necrobunnie]

What's with the sudden increase in emos? Once individual, we are now widly accepted as a catagory in Sugar (english teenage girly magazine) :S what's going on emos?  

[Rellik San]

Well, its because what the stereotypical emo listens too are basically boy bands. Add to that the stupid amount of growth in the past 3 years, is it any wonder Sugar knows what they are, hell I'm waiting for something like heat to start uncovering pics of Gerard Way's secret life or some crap like that. At which point, I will probably hang myself...

Or it could just be vacuous teenage girls creaming over guys that look like girls, thats brought this on. By the way notice that these magazines do mention bands like P!atD FOB and MCR over real emo, BFMV HB KSE. Because the band members are unattractive which goes to prove once again, most self proclaimed emo's do infact listen to crappy pop music.

Because dressing "emo" is a trend.
Magazines only talk about trends.  

[Frizzzz]

Because now it's a trend and there is barely any people dressing like emos that actually are emo now. D:

Social trends never last.

Yes you can

Emo as in the music - Emotive hardcore
Emo is in a person - Emotional person

They are both just convieniant short hands that people confuse as being one and the same, which just ain't true.

No, emotional person is a term derived from overly emotional people, I realise being an angry person I qualify, accept, I like most people control my emotions. Thusly making me compartively unemotional, as it is with alot of people. razz

Your not far wrong, but then, thats like calling Public Enemy emo, you just have to look at it in more obvious terms, like an emo is someone who wears their emotions on their sleeve as opposed to blocking them out and filtering only the ones they want people to see outwards.

I don't agree with your definition of being "emo".
You cannot be emo. Everybody has emotion. Yes there is overly emotionnal people but it doesn't make them emo.
There's no emo lifestyle. It's not like being punk.

People think that emos are some persons who dress like a drag queen or wathever, who listen to stuff like Fall Out Boy.
I just call them trend follower.

You can be an emotive or emontionnal person, that's your personnality but you cannot be emo.

But emo, is the abreviation for emotional person, thats what I'm saying, I'm not defining it as this big thing over then someone that doesn't try to hide or manipulate their outward emotional facets.
