I myself am a emo kid and this is what I think...
All the people that diss them should take a look at their own lifes and are just jealous because we can spell.
I myself do not cut or whine or listen to morbidly depressing music i listen to emotional music.
I dont shop at hot topic, much.., but thats better than all you anti-emos shopping at nike and soccerworld.
I think emos are emos because they are not afraid to express themselves and there emotions and y'all going to have to live with it.
emo=dude,
you=not dude...work it out
