Emo

jle1993 · Emo

I will state something you all should know.
Emo did not originaly mean a often depressed and/or upset person, thats what goths are for.
Before some morons changed it, Emo mean emotional in all senses, including Rage and Joy.

I am an Emo and I am so goddamn sick of people calling me a depressive just because I choose to express myself.

Rant Over

Feel free to close the thread down if it seems approprate

gort

I knew that, but thanks for clearing it up for others, Jle!!

Beats idiotic headbanging, eh??

Cloverfield

You may be expressing yourself, but your also therefore depressing.

gort

I find depressing music cheers me up.....

Some people mistake slow, beautiful music as being depressing, though...

jle1993

Smokey, I can be depressing, but I can also cheer people up and scare the crap out of them later too.

Gort, damn right it beats head banging, that hurts

Cloverfield

I didn't say you couldn't. Just saying that if you really express yourself, you're expressing all sides of you.

jle1993

And thats depressing?

Cloverfield

No, sometimes you can be depressing...everyone can. We all have our moments.

jle1993

Yup, thats true enough.

gort

I'm depressed now.

jle1993

Poor Gort, whats wrong?
Or is it just one of those day?

gort

I was kidding...all this talk about depression, ya know....

Pazuzu

gort

Headbanging to Enya songs.

jle1993

Pazuzu

gort

Bah-cawk!!!

jle1993

Chicken!

Is it Chickenly to get on stage and act insane?!

gort

Why on Earth would you get on a stage to do that?????

THAT.....I would not do.....

jle1993

I did it coz it was part of my roll, so nyah

gort

You had an acting part headbanging to Enya songs??

Sounds like Sonntag, to me.....weird...

jle1993

NO, I had to act insane

gort

Oh.

I acted for a while. My best acting buddy in school had his own tv show for a while...

jle1993

Wicked!

gort

It was a show called Lucan....about a guy who changed into a wolf to fight crime or something...it was awful...

He was also the first guy to get shot in 'The Long Riders'....
Kevin Brophy....

jle1993

1B-DI

Great, now I've got the Emo song stuck in my head again.

jle1993

Sorry

1B-DI

"I'm an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You'd be non-conforming too if you looked just like me..."

Funny stuff!

jle1993

Funny as hell

Dear Diary, Mood-Apethetic

My life is spiraling deathward. I couldnt get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert. It sucks because they play some of my favorite songs like Stab My Heart Because I Love You and Rip Apart My Soul and of course Stab Me Rip Stab Stab and it doesn't help that I couldnt get my hair to do that flippy thing either like the guy from that band can do.

I'm an emo kid, nonconforming as can be
You'd be nonconforming too if you looked just like me
I got paint on my nails and makeup on my face
I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs

Cause I feel real deep when I'm dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression girls just call me a fag
Cause the dudes look like chicks and chicks look like dykes
Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

I'm dark and sensitive with low self esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sisters mascara now I'm grounded for a week

Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can't get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me its never any fun
They say they already have a pussy they don't need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo
I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

...My life is just a black abyss you know? Its so dark and its suffocating me, grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip. Tighter than a pair of my little sisters jeans...Which look great on me by the way...

When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped give me an erection
I write in a LiveJournal and wear thick rim glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes

I'm just a bad, cheap imitation of goth
You can read me 'Catcher in the Rye' and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said I like girls, I'd only be half right

I look like I'm dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo
Screw Xbox I play old school nintendo
I must be emo
I like to whine and hate my parentals
I must be emo
Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be eeeeeeemo

...My parents don't get me ya know? They think I'm gay just because they saw me kiss a guy...well a couple of guys but I mean its the 2000's can't 2 or 4 guys makeout with eachother without being gay? I mean chicks dig that kinda thing anyways.
I don't know diary sometimes I think you're the only one who gets me. You're my best friend.

I feel like tacos

1B-DI

jle1993

Brilliant Gort

gort

Thanks!!!

Look at our poor, sad little Stan....there on the end.....

Because of a woman....

Sigh....

1B-DI

Ah, unrequited love.

*it hurts*

gort

Story of my life.........

........sigh.....

1B-DI

Yup. I've pretty much given up.

At the tender age of (almost) 23....

gort

That's the silliest, most wrong thing I've ever heard!!

1B-DI

Well, I'm a silly person.

Pazuzu

I love the emo song!

It's funny! I want ot put it on my i-pod now!

*goes to look for it*

Olikunmissile

to be honest, i was stupid enogh to date an emo, thats probably what made me hate them so much, if you are an emo, please do not be offended, i am friends with a few, but i am not fond of them....

jle1993

Nah, used to be emo, but it hurt too much and I don't like seeing my own blood, so I switched to inderviduality

1B-DI

Is that jle back for another visit? How you doing?

Gazereths

Sorry but WTF is an emo?

jle1993

@Gaz, it means emotional

@BD, I'm good, I'm alive, so I'm good.

gort

Yeah....right.....but, there HAS to be an alternate explaination for the hatred of 'EMOs'....
What's with bloodletting, anyway?

Guess I'm confused.
I thought 'emos' were people who liked dark music and felt sorry for themselves....

1B-DI

Gaz needs to check out the emo song a few posts up

1B-DI

My biggest problem with emos is that they're often kids with no real problems who mutiliate themselves. And who wants to see someone who's sad and cries all the time? I'd rather be around fun people. I can understand some people have true issues with depression, believe me--I've had my share of that myself--but many of the emo kids I've known come from good families and they're just seeking attention.

jle1993

The bloodletting is a common way for depressed people to deal with guilt or anger or other emotions they can't deal with, the emos took it and made it so no-one took depressed people seriously and so the suicide rate increased

gort

That's not an 'emo'.................that's a 'Psycho'.....

Plus......you have to EARN your distress...your anger....your loss.....your PAIN!!!!

I see 15 year olds who are SO sad about life!!

JEEZE!!!!

If I owned agun....I would WANT you to use it!!!

F**king posers......

jle1993

Thanks for that massive boost to my self confidence Gort, I never thought of myself as a poser, at least I certainly didn't last Friday night

gort

DUDE!!!!

I wasn't talking TO you, or ABOUT you!!!!

It's sad to be sad...................I KNOW!!!

I was just randomly posting.....

gort

Wait..................Friday night?????

Olikunmissile

dudes and dude-ettes, dont go emo, it sucks, and i dont like em...

jle1993

Yes Gort, last Friday, why the hell did you think I was off all week?

Pazuzu

There's nothing wrong with emos (I mean the real ones, not the ones who are just at the depressed extreme) But what is there to not like about emos?

jle1993

I could think of a few things, for both types

Pazuzu

I can think of plenty for the overly depressed variety, and I know everyone has something unlikeable about them, but what particularly do you not like about other emos?
My cousin is emo, and there's not a lot not to like about her really!

jle1993

Over expresive and in your face.

Olikunmissile

i just feel, if they are so depressed, and REALLY wanna die, go jump in front of a bus, like my motto...

Life sucks, people are stupid, deal with it!

1B-DI

There's this song I like and part of it goes:

You're not the only one whose life's a piece of sh*t
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it

(I kinda think the song is aimed at the emo culture.)

Olikunmissile

go them! emos make me soooooo angry!

1B-DI

If you wanna have a listen, the song is called You'll Rebel to Anything (as Long as It's Not Challenging) by Mindless Self Indulgence

Olikunmissile

hmm, ill look that up, look up "tickle me emo" on youtube...

1B-DI

I've seen that video, it cracked me up! LOL

Olikunmissile

i know, its so life like!

jle1993

1B-DI

Wow, hun. I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't really know what else to say. I've been in that position before and I know what you're going through, and I really hope you've found something or someone to help you. If I could go back in time to myself at your age, I'd just wanna hold her hand and tell her everything would be okay--not easy, not the way I'd planned, but okay; and worth all the sadness and pain because really, life is just too short to be miserable all the time. Once I got past all the crap, the people using me as a garbage disposal, the depression, I managed to do some pretty cool things and I hope I'm able to do more in the future. But the road is never easy.

I hope you know that if you ever need to talk, or vent, your 'virtual' big sister is just a message away.

Olikunmissile

woah, woah, woah,

you frakkink know what, in the space of 3 years, BOTH of my brothers have died!
One died of a brain tumor!
the other was in a car accident, he was walikng along minding his own buisness as a car pulled up onto the street, hit him and he went down the the car hit a wall reveresed, and DECAPITATED him!

i have also lost my dad, both my grand parents, and my uncle!
when i was 8, my friend drowned! i can still see his face clear as day in my head!

YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH ISSUES!

i have moved house 2 times that has fcked up all of my gcse's, i AM moving again in less than a month!

now tell me your life is fcked up, im only 16 for christ sakes!

Guest

wow.....

Olikunmissile

SO DONT ANY OF YOU TELL ME YOUR LIFE IF SH*T! IM PROBABLY SCREWED FOR LIFE, I WILL BE MOVING THE THE MIDDLE OF MY GCSE EXAMS! DONT ANY OF YOU MOAN ABOUT HOW MESSED UP YOUR LIFE IS UNLESS IT IS AS BAD AS MINE!

and do you know what, i dont bloody moan about it,

i said that in my defence

1B-DI

You know what, we all just need to calm down here.

Olikunmissile

do you know what, i dont, people think their lives are so bad, and are so depressed, look at my life, its CRAP and so i fcking slit my wrists? NO! come on, impress me jle, how bad is your life compared to mine? come on, how bad is it really?

1B-DI

Oli, I think you've made your point. Now calm down or I will lock this thread.

Olikunmissile

ugh, i am clam, but if she calls me insults me again, your gonna have to ban me, cos i will show you what im like when im not calm

jle1993

I only fcking insulted you because you say depressed people should just deal with sh*t.
My life, my brief 13 yr life, consists of my dad beating the sh*t out of my mum, and holding me infront of him so she couldn't hit back. I've been used as an ash tray for his cigerettes untill we moved away from him when i was six. Since then I haven't stayed at the same school for more than two years at most, and at every school I go to I have to endure insults and more often than not I get beaten up, at least once per week. The last time I visited my asshole father, whos dying of cancer, all he did was say how fat I've gotten. Most female memebers of my family have had ovarien cancer, and more than one has died, my great aunt is also dying of cancer so she'll join the list of the deceased soon enough. Most of my family is over two hundred miles away, I don't get on with my step dad, and if you lived next door you'd be able to here the screaming matches. The only 'friends' I have now are the ones who agree to let me hang about with them if i do their homework. Every boyfriend I've had so far has either cheated on me or decided to hit me. So yeah, you're life is fcked up, but so is mine.

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, I've slit my wrists before, I've ODed 5 times at least, I tried to suffercate myself, strangle and choke myself. i've been doing this sorta thing since I was 8.

Guest

once again wow...

Olikunmissile

HEY! atleast your dad is still alive, and if ya didnt know, thats the reson my mum left my dad! cos he used to beat her! he pushed me down the stairs once, cos i told him to stop! and broke one of my arms and legs!

1B-DI

Okay, this is getting out of hand. Thread locked.
