Indie kids hate emo kids because all indie kids are thirty years old and are jealous of the emo kids' youth or something like that

since there is an obvious disparity between the original emo bands and what's considered emo nowadays, why is it that this new style was never dubbed 'post-emo'?

My roommate last year did this project for school where she had a big folding mirror thing. Like, three feet long, two feet high. And folded like one of those dressing shield things in old movies. She photocopied Alkaline Trio lyrics onto overhead sheets. Transparent pieces of plastic. And glued them to the mirror and there were some diagramy sort of clip art things, too.

She drew on our windows with the Crayola markers that you can draw on the windows with and erase easily. Themed for the holiday or the season. A heart one, a snowy one, a Christmas one.

She left Safeway bags in the shower. All the time. Everyday I'd go in and have to pick a Safeway bag of cold water off of the bottom of the shower. She had dreadlocks. She didn't want her hair to get wet, I guess. She put the bag over her head. And she put on the wax while we were watching TV.

She said she hated the Ramones and that she started liking rap after she saw Eight Mile and when her friend came over they listened to Eminem and drank bottles of beer and kept saying stuff like, 'Oh my God! I can't believe I used to like this! Ha ha ha!' because they were so smart and -- listen -- she had this stupid, stupid plan to start a band and they had all of these stupid plans -- it won't sound good with me describing it but when I remembered it just now, I felt angry and -- they had this plan where they would slowly remove instruments from the stage and, man, it was so, so stupid and they just went on and on.

I forget exactly what she wrote in her diary about me. It was because I wrote stuff on the mirror when it was fogged up. When I was standing there, right after I got out of the shower. You write things on the mirror. I don't know what. And when it fogged up again the writing was there again and she thought it was a ghost and I overheard her discussing it with the other girl who lived there and Amanda was saying how the house was haunted. And then she wrote in her diary that she thought it was me who had written something on the mirror and that I was creepy. Tat's the exact word she used, even: 'creepy.' She wrote something like, 'Is it normal to write stuff on mirrors?'

She had a poster of George Bush on her door with all the mis-saying that he'd said. When we watched TV together and we saw George Bush she'd always have to say something about how he looked stupid and evil.

She left the book right out on the couch, too. A stupid orange book with a sun that she wrote in with stupid kid pens.

The guy from Filmmaker got drunk at our house once while I was hiding in my bedroom playing Minesweeper and listening to Ashanti.

She ate a plastic carton of strawberries I had in the fridge.

She had a toque with ears on it.

I have some weird pictures of her underwear. I will upload them.

The obvious answer: EVERYBODY hates the Emo kids. `Cos they're so inherently hateable.

Indie kids hating emo kids is like a butterfly hating a caterpillar: "You mean I used to be that? Eeww!"

latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 01:50 (twenty years ago) link

what is emo anyways?

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 01:54 (twenty years ago) link

It's an aesthetic paradigm more than a musical genre.

It could be argued indie kids are merely in the pupa state.

latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 02:03 (twenty years ago) link

I hate emo, it is ruining the youth, everyones fake depressed because of emo's terrible vocals, I don't blame the listeners though, I would be depressed if I listened to it too.

Jimmy Kragen, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 06:38 (twenty years ago) link

i m 13 and i completly agree emo does suck and the kids who like it.

Robert Willcutt, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 18:09 (twenty years ago) link

If you think music is supposed to be emotional, no wrong emo is just a bunch of little bastards who think they are cool and tough! they are just little bastards i mean come on people they wear tight leather jeans and sing like fags!

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 24 March 2004 17:54 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, thank you.

Soft Cell was emo?!

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 18:02 (twenty years ago) link

Alright man, if youre going to bash something make sure you know whats youre talking about. Whats the point of music and passion if theres no emotion? What would you prefer the music to be about if its not emotional? That would be the downfall of music in itself. When artists dont care and arent emotional. And Emo kids arent cool and tough. Thats the whole point of emo. Deppresed kids who can't get over their ex-girlfriend. I mean come on, leather pants? No no no. That is not emo fashion. The basis of emo fashion is that they wont wear name brand and what the new "trend" is. Thats why they wear the clothes they do. To not ridicule people on what youre wearing. If yyou dont think thats cool, then maybe you should rethink your morals. I dont even know where leather pants came from. Youre 13. Live a little and mature before you bash something you dont know about. Or research a bit.

Dillon, Wednesday, 24 March 2004 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

and what are leather jeans anyways? those are two completly different things man.

Dillon, Wednesday, 24 March 2004 18:09 (twenty years ago) link

Emo is fagism.
Emo represents emotional crap
realy people emotional music is like jazz and my grandpa likes that crap.
Dont listen to Dillon known as southpaw
hes an emo freak to

robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 24 March 2004 18:10 (twenty years ago) link

Is that why every emo kid wears a v-neck pullover sweater, corduroy pants, black-rimmed glasses, and a pair of Saucony sneakers? It's easier not to ridicule when you're issued a uniform, I guess.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 18:12 (twenty years ago) link

Dillion and Robert, please continue in your discussion, I think we have a good dialogue going here. Robert I'd like you to explore further about exactly how emo=fagism. And do you think emo (which is really nothing, but fagism) and all this gay marraige hub-bub are somehow related?

christhamrin (christhamrin), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 18:41 (twenty years ago) link

Best thread revive ever.

realy people emotional music is like jazz and my grandpa likes that crap.

I swear to god I'm going to use this as a song title.

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 18:45 (twenty years ago) link

Robert Willcutt, Thursday, 25 March 2004 18:05 (twenty years ago) link

Alright im in class now. Im constintly looking to make sure the teacher is coming near, so my mind is scattered when I write and it may not come out what I mean. Mr. Johnny Fever, we wear these clothes b/c theyre not fashionable. Theyre cheap and you can find them anywhere, unlike, say Abercrombie or Gap. We think its retarded to laugh at another person b/c their clothes aren't as expensive. So yes we do have a certain type of clothes we wear. But we dont ridicule you b/c what you wear isn't the fashion. Thats the idea around our clothes.

Dillon, Thursday, 25 March 2004 18:08 (twenty years ago) link

wierd picture emo sucks

Ah, but they are fashionable. Have you ever seen a Gap commercial on television (oh wait, lemme guess...you're above watching tv)? Messy hair, nerd glasses, corduroys, etc. If you really wanted to wear something that was cheap and you could find in thrift stores everywhere, you'd all be wearing tapered cuff acid-washed jeans, Polo-style knit shirts, and canvas boat shoes. I've yet to see an emo kid sporting some 14-year-old "Hammer" pants, but I'll buy that gue a drink when I do.

Don't tell me you're not going for a certain, highly manicured style.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 26 March 2004 17:39 (twenty years ago) link

gue=guy

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 26 March 2004 17:40 (twenty years ago) link

Mr. Johnny Fever you have the right idea. if there were more people like us there would be no gay emo crap.

Robert willcutt, Friday, 26 March 2004 17:55 (twenty years ago) link

Good job Mr. Fever. You got me. Here's my response. There is such a thing as posuers in this world. An Emo kid shopping at the Gap is like calling rap music. It's an oxymoron. It doesn't fit. Gap took up Emo as a marketing technique. A true emo wouldn't be caught dead there. However there ARE emo kids who do. You dont have to wear the clothes to be emo. And vice versa. Heres a fun thing to check out. www.emogame.com. In game two they actually make fun of Gap. What are the odds? Its pretty accurate on all aspects of the genre/clothes/ and complete style of Emo's. Play it. Just make sure mommy and daddy aren't in the room as you do.

Dillon, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:01 (twenty years ago) link

shut up dillon
emo sucks and it always will!

*steps back, waits for shitstorm*

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:04 (twenty years ago) link

Robert you're not giving me facts. At least Johny Fever did and thats why I congratulated him. Give me facts and reasoning to back up what you think and you wont come off as ignorant as you are.

Dillon, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:07 (twenty years ago) link

Alright dillon here are your facts of how crapy emo is.
1. Emo is emotional and slow most of the time. you hear the music on soap operas.
2. Emo is one of the least listened to music besides classic and the blues.
3.(there could be alot more) Emo is so stuid people dont go to concerts to listen to people who sing on how crapy there life is! i mean come on people

Robert Willcutt, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:09 (twenty years ago) link

A true emo wouldn't be caught dead there
