Emo

I'm getting a little tired of all those old ass definitions talking about shitty music genres and scarves because in 2014 "emo music" has nothing to do with fucking acoustic guitars. And I'm sure in a little while my definiton will be outdated too. So for 2014 here is the definition.

1) emo is short for emotional

2) the new music genre is called screamo and has a lot of electric guitar and is closely related to metal. So please shut the fuck up about whining and acoustic guitars ;)

2) most people who are emo are depressed due to a chemical imbalance in their brains. Depression is not a choice. Some take meds to balance these chemicals.

3) not all emos self harm or have an e.d. The emos that do self harm do it to ease pain. It's like being an alchoholic. It's an addiction. E.d.s are mental disorders having to do with being skinny.

4)for the last fucking time people EMO IS NOT A LOOK. Can you seriously look emotional by the type of shirt you wear (the answer is no). Somebody could listen to screamo or self harm or be depressed and shop at American eagle.

5) 80% of emos aren't doing this for fucking attention. As I said earlier if they dress normal, smile, and hide their scars how the fuck would that be asking for attention. And the other 20% that are waiting for some hot guy to kiss your scars and sweep you off your feet and to bask in the attention of others... STOP. you're giving everyone else a bad rep. It's not cute.

5) goth is not emo.

Bestfriend #1: haha wow look at that fucking emo fag in their black outfit. I bet they slit their pathetic little wrists

Bestfriend #2: *pulls down sleeves just a little farther and laughs quietly* haha yeah...

Bestfriend #2: *goes home that night and kills themselves because they now feel like their best friend was the last person who cared and now he (or she) cannot open up to anyone.*

Bestfriend #1: *attends the funeral of their long-time best friend. Sees their parents and everyone crying. Knows instead of hiding they could have saved them*

That could be your best friend
How supportive are you...?
