Emo

Okay. Apparently no one even knows what emo is anymore. So let me straighten that out for you.

Emo is a genre of music. Yes music. It originated in the 80s with bands such as Gray Matter or Fire Party. There are several waves of emo. So no, Emo is not the kind of shit that you can find nowadays on any teenager dressed in black. It is not MCR. It is not FOB, and it is not Hawthorne Heights or Dashboard Confessionals either.

The term emo has been mutated and twisted into something that anyone should be ashamed to call themselves. Since when is it allright to mutilate yourself so that you may appear "cool" or fit a certain stereotype. Whatever that is, it is not emo.

The fact that emo is now a certain stereotype, makes me want to puke. No. What makes me want to puke is what being labeled as "emo" entails.

It's sick. It's just sick.

I hardly think there is such thing as 'emo' anymore.
