According to many a source, 6-6-06 is the national emo beat-up day. Let us all participate in it! However, refrain from hitting any other emos than the fake-ass ones who have no real problems, cut themselves because they think it's "cool" to do it, wear hot pink even though they are supposed to be depressed, listen to bands only because they are popular, are an exact carbon clone of their friend sitting next to them, and who act homosexual in order to get a member of the opposite sex. Agreed?

What a bizarre holiday.

Is this to show our appreciation for Emo-s or to show our dislike of them? It seems that hurting people known for hurting themselves could be seen as a sort of approval...

Ahh, but these stupid fake-ass emos don't hurt themselves because they are addicted to it like a drug, like I am, but they only do it because it seems "cool" to them, and I noticed that some emos showing off their "scars" don't even seem to get past the epidermal layer of skin. So I wonder what would happen if we gave them real pain?

They'd dust themselves off and go brag to their friends. Duh.

I'm sure advocating violence against individuals is against forum rules...

Sorry, but I'm not going to hit you.

Emos are an expection. No one likes the stereotype emo. I may be emo, but I am not a stereotype emo. We all love to beat up on the stereotype emo. May I offer you some history of the "emo"?

strangely enough, my girlfriend's aniversary and mine is on 6/6/06. how odd...

Sorry, but I'm not going to hit you.

Dude. My family is bankrupt. Three of my family members have died in the last 12 months. I've lost five of my pets, whom I care more about than my family members, in the last 12 months. Cutting is like using a drug, so yes, you can say I'm addicted to a drug. I don't do it because I think it's "cool", I do it out of necessity.

I wonder how many of your 1,800 odd posts are about you.

75%?

You...are addicted to pain? There is no necessity involved.

My family members die all the time, it seems, and I don't go around feeling sorry for myself and cutting.

Probably more like 90%...

Please do. I'd never heard the term before starting to read NSGeneral.

Yeah yeah, sure sure, 30,000 dollars and all that stuff. Because, you know, the natural thing to do if someone dies is cut yourself. That obviously constitutes a reasonable excuse. We should tell the world, the razor business will boom! Razor companies catering funerals, hospitals, and that door at the end of the hall at the pound.

Please do. I'd never heard the term before starting to read NSGeneral.Basically, it all started with The Cure. Since then, they've regressed.

That's because you dont care about them, obviously. Unless your depression manifests some other way.

EMO originally stood for Emotive Punk, which was a subgenre of the Punk Rock genre that was more, well, emotive, I guess, of the emotions underneath the lyrics. I don't think a majority of the original EMO songs were depressed.

The Cure were the "Godfathers of Goth."

I heard about this from the professor at a college lecture my high school sociology class went to sit in on. I think it's really lame.

Besides which, we have two student and one teacher birthday at my school on June 6 and I'm going to an appointment to meet the director of a program I want to get into. So even if I thought stereotyping and then beating up "emos" was anything but lame, I wouldn't have time.

Many people find physical pain preferable to emotional pain (hence emo, I guess). I myself would be rueled by emotion if I didn't keep it in check some how. Before I started cutting, I'd never heard of it before and I never go around showing off my scars. These people that claim they are depressed are fucking around. The "real" emos are hiding their scars and are generally not the steriotype hair-in-my-face My Chemical Romance people. In fact, I know very few people who are genuinely depressed and cutters because of it that are the steriotype.
I guess Im a happy emo, actually. (wierd, but not contradictory <very mild bipolar>)

Do you have to be depressed when relatives die? I am sad for a little while, then I stop caring. Y'know, they're already dead, and feeling sad won't help anything.

Although, some of them, yeah, I don't care about. It's amazing how many relatives of mine die before I've even heard of them.

"Oh hey, did you hear? Your cousin *whatsisname* was killed in a car accident!"

me- "What? Who's that?"

Gaah, if I go on like this, I'll be as bad as Naliitr in terms of self centered-ness.
Enough about me, let's talk about EMO.

There's only one real emo that I know of at my school. Cutting scars and everything. Don't think I could bring myself to beat her up, though. There's no honor that comes from beating up defenseless girls...

She might have her razor on her.

She might have her razor on her.

I thought about that, actually. But it wouldn't be too hard to disarm her.

I've seen one of my friends turn from rocker to emo in a matter of weeks. But its not all bad. He knows some fit girls so I'm not gonna stop being his mate and hang out with him and his fit lady friends

Oh, I'll be beating on Emos, believe you me. But in order not to be accused of prejudice, I'll also be going for fake-ass hippies, pseudo-goths and anyone who claims to subscribe to satanism/paganism/wicca without being able to give me a clear explanation of the cosmology, history and morality of the espoused system.

It's gonna take me a while. I might have to stretch it out to a week.

It'll also temporarily empty my uni. Ha!

I don't see why it's necessary to make a distinction. It's like making a distinction between genuine and imitation naugahyde.

...who act homosexual in order to get a member of the opposite sex. Agreed?
I knew I was doing something wrong.

This is the kind of thread you quietly let drop off the main page.

... dammit.

NO...

Oh, you're breaking my heart, honey. You're not doing it out of necessity, you're doing it out of idiocy.

Attention all emos:

Please, please get a sex life. You'll see that once you get laid, you'll forget all about cutting your wrists open or crying for hours in your bed at night. And if you really, really need to be hurt, just get a partner in S&M.

Seriously. Just get out of your bubble and get a life, or something.

Please do. I'd never heard the term before starting to read NSGeneral.

Emo is an offshoot of hardcore, the earliest emo (emocore, emotional hardcore) bands were basically slower, melodic hardcore with introspective lyrics. Steadily the bands wound up playing faster and more frantic. This stuff almost died out, then a bunch of indie rock bands began playing emo influenced rock, bands like this were the first bands recognized in the mainstream and called emo, but Sunny Dale Real Estate and similar sounding stuff isn't.

Later the screamy chaotic stuff began to come back, as everyone thought emo was whiney indie rock, real emo started getting called 'screamo'. A few years later pop-punk bands had started playing stuff influenced by this, and being called screamo too. Listen to a pop band like The Used, and then an emo band like Saetia to see the difference.

Basically, emo can refer either: a style of post-hardcore with chunky guitars and shouted vocals, a style of hardcore with chaotic guitars and screamed vocals as well as, less acurately a style of indie rock with sad lyrics about relationships or a style of pop-punk influence somewhat by all of the above. Only the first two have any connection to it's roots.

Therein lies the problem. They go emo to get laid, and then when they do, they stop being emo and get dumped, thus becoming emo.

Since this is my birthday (go gemini!).. i think this would be a suitable present :D

I could've sworn Ritlina killed himself. You know, back when he stated that he was going to do so, and made a topic about what music he should have playing when his body was discovered. Oh, right. He was just being an attention whore. Like the people he advocates violence against in the OP.

I have no interest in beating any emos, including you. They really aren't worth enough attention to deserve a beating. The most I can tell you or anybody else is just to get over yourselves.

Naliitr, one week ban for inciting people to commit assault.

Correct.
