EMO-nation!

"Stop my breathing and slit my throat... I must be EMO... I don't dance around when i go to shows... I must be EMO...I’m dark, and sensitive with low self esteem...The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween...I have no real problems but I like to make believe...I stole my sisters mascara and now I’m grounded for a week"

That's a part of the song "I MUST BE EMO" by Holywood Undead.

What is EMO? What is the classification of it? Who are they? Why do they exist?

I think EMOs are people who greatly expresses their feelings. They would gladly show you how they feel despite the awkwardness and humiliation(LOL!).

"A person described as "emo" (falling under certain behavior mannerisms and attire correlating with the subculture) will often be from a comfortable, middle-class background with understanding, pleasant parents. All of this is irrelevant to an emo who will consider themselves misunderstood and repressed regardless of reality. Any urologist would say that these very emotional people need to be encouraged by the rest of society to help them out of this state of existing, or technically not existing. "

What is the classification of EMO? Honestly I have no idea. I thought being an emo is simply a mind concept but nowadays, I see it more of a trend, a genre, a fashion statement.

I thought emos are supposed to be anti-social(as what they want to portray it.) and spends time indulging themselves in self pity. But try going to the mall, believe you me, they're everywhere! These anti-socials are actually mingling in the crowd and trying to stand out by being... errr... different(?!).And how can you identify emos in the mob?

1. CLOTHING.

2.MAKE UP.

3.THEIR HAIR.

So I believe these people see "EMO" more of a fashion statement than a mind concept. These emos (both male or female or somewhere in between.lol!X]) are in skinny jeans (don't boys feel giddy and awkward with jeans that embosses their balls?lol X]) with Chucks or Vans, with a ring of dark eyeliner on their eyes and hair that makes them look as if they forgot to brush it when they woke up earlier.

I'm neither pro nor anti emo. But the truth is I don't get them at all. Are they supposed to dress that way? I mean, it looks good on some but others look like hobos(LOL!). Are they supposed to commit suicide when they got a failing grade or because of an argument with their parents coz no one wants to do the dishes? Or do they have to rant about make-believe problems? Or do they intentionally break up with their bfs/gfs and blame themselves so they have more reasons to cut their wrists? I don't get them at all. I really thought they were supposed to be anti-social? So why are they everywhere? I look at my left, on my right, I expect to see an emo kid. It never fails. I saw one in front of me so I turn around to see more of them on my back. Oh God... These emos are planning WORLD DOMINATION!!!

"Stop my breathing and slit my throat... I must be emo... I don’t jump around when I go to shows... I must be emo... Dye in my hair nail polish on my toes... I must be emo... I play guitar and write suicide notes...I must be emo..."
