| | -=)(Cheer Up)(=-So lately, due to school and an odd array of unlucky situations, i have been in undesired contact with the emo subculture. Emo is short for Emocore which is short for Emotional Hardcore. Like christian- science (which is neither christian nor science), emotional-hardcore culture (or 'emo') is neither emotional nor hardcore. Don't you need to be able to recognize more than 2 emotions to be emotional? Sad is one, yes, two? come on emo boy, you can name a second, no despondent does not count.....
I find it humorous that the emo community views itself as somehow superior and more in touch with 'the cold sad reality' than the rest of us whistling, happy-go-lucky churchgoers. They speak to you with condescention, as if every word demands "you dont know what i've been through!" So why do they think they are better than you? Cause they are weak, scrawny, cry alot, and are scared of light and all it touches (which accounts for approx. 10000% of the universe, Mark, check my facts). Oddly though, emo boys tend to get alot of girls, some of whom are not even emo...
This struck me as odd, why would girly men who wear womens pants, have womens hair, and cry like little pansies get the ladies? Then i found out after watching VH1 (for the first time, and yes, now we have cable) that Emo is now COOL! Yes, the board of fashion has announced that for the next 3 years there will be a sale on 'cool' in the emo department.
Also, So far all the emo kids i've had the displeasure to speak to call themselves "existentialists" meaning that each human creates their own meaning for life. I think i prefer Droopy's definition:
Existentialism/ex-is-ten-tial-sim [eg-zi-sten-shuh-liz-uh-m] - noun - a philosophical attitude that posits you should wipe your bum with gerbils.
there was a day when boys could just be boys.....
now all hail our leader:
there was a day when men could just be men,
white lotus is invincible.
