no.
It is actually about the lameness of stereotypes.

If anyone lives in melbourne australia you would of seen a thing about the people on channel 10 and 7 news and had a thing about them on todaytonight. Everyone is blaming the the "emo" culture for there death.

most emo's dont cut themselves, or hang themselves or cry themselves to sleep everynight, it's just that the ones that do, make everyone think that all the other emo's do too.(if that makes sense...)

and it pisses me off that just because i happen to have long hair and like listening to loud, scary, music that worships satan and all that sha-bang, people call me an emo.

its only a style of fucking music for fuck's sake!...that got taken too far, and now causes teens (it's always the teenagers...) to top themselves....

* joey goes back to his cave, and puts on some loud, scary music that worships satan

Phillip is emo.

And leave it to Today Tonight to blow the emo topic way out of proportion. http://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/article/39113/li...yle/emo-subculture

Exactly ;<

should listen to REAL metal music and not have the hair combed over your face then

the emo's around here are soooo annoying, always complaining and getting drunk in public parks etc then falling into each other moaning about life.

The worst thing is they're all like 12-16 and somehow all know me (I guess they just noticed me around the local clubs and school from a few years ago) and they all think I'm their friend when i will (and have) gladly punch them in the face for being arrogant little whining etc etc etc's!

Some people are just soooo depressed over stupid things aswell  and it's not because of lack of friends or anything or money they have no concept of gratitude or appreciation, on occasion around college I'll hold a door open for someone or give up my seat on a bus etc (even though i really need it more with my back) and i get no thanks not even a slight smile or nod of their head .

Some can be ok and funny but the majority just piss me off immensely

Phillip's post is the only correct definition I've read in a long time.

People need to learn.

Personally I find it stupid to align emo with suicide.

You'll find alot more deaths concerning other ''stereotypes'' who hang or consider other means of ending their life.

I find myself surrounded by alot of emo people, and most are extremely happy with their lives.

I myself have been called emo and I have no wish to end my on life. Far from it infact.

It's all about the person, not the clothes they wear or the music they listen too.

Its harsh to judge someone on what they wear and what they listen to, just because of a few. They may find you also annoying and irratating because of your long hair and rock music, or your trackies and gold rings.

It's all about the personality and then you can judge that person to be nice or not.
