Get the Emo kid mug.The dirty lovechildren of underground rock kids, the scene and the dying goth movement. In other words, once middle class kids raped the grunge scene, the alternative scene, and when prep was too mainstream, they had to find something else. Luckily enough, lots of bands were crappily re-doing the sixties. From this and the remnants of the goth era, ( and some actually GOOD musical inflences thrown in ), this birthed the degenerate group of whiners we all come and know as emo kids. Now, they were helped a little. High-and-mighty scene kids were their idols and Hot Topic their vehicle to awesome. Sadly, they'll never make it. And noone wants to be scene anyway. Most of those kids are in the ana community on livejournal and snort blow while listening to the YeahYeahYeahs. Anyhow, did I mention that emo kids also rise up and overtake evil establishments like Myspace and the mall, making them more evil. They also slit their wrists on a regular basis, cry to AFI songs and try to be cool by playing oldschool Nintendo. (Even though most of them weren't alive in the 80's.) They also frequent sites on the internet that make fun of them, trying to refute the obvious with bad typing, bad grammar, and overall weak arguments. However, they aren't as full of crap as furries. Noone is below a furry. Except perhaps a lolicon.
Common emo kid quotes:
" I just bought the new My Chemical Romance CD with my mom's credit card. Then I cried all night because she doesn't understand how deeply Gerard Way speaks to the world. "
" Yeah, I hate Bush because he eats and rapes babies...at least Hot Topic told me so. "
" God, life just makes me want to die. "

Get the emo kid mug.Emo kids are kids who are followers of the current largest trend, emo. Emo music can be described as sad/angery pop music. Emo kids usually cry alot and write sad poems. Emo kids are very pretentious in how they purposely act sad to fit in. Emo kids may claim to be void of everything pop-culture related, but in reality, they are the embodiment of it. You've probably all ready noticed, that you can't turn on your TV or go to a public place without seeing one. Obviously, they are very much influenced by all things popular.
You can often spot an emo kid from their ridiculously tight clothing and combed over type hair. It should be noted that emo kids like to dress like an emo no matter how inconvenient it may be. For example, the emo hair cut is made in a way that requires frequent re-adjusting. The tight clothing, also inconvenient.
Most people in society (also among the counter-culture) find emo kids to be a nuisance. As, a large majority of them come up with rude and insipid phrases such as "I hope you all rot", "No one understands me", or "My heart is so deep and black... and lonely". They are often in large groups of fellow emos, although they may claim to be outcasted and lonely. Emo kids also have a tendency to mock others, even when they take false pride in their "open-mindedness".
Also, there are many homosexual and/or bi emo kids. This is not said to be rude or mean. Alot of emo kids may claim that there are not. Yet it seems that they don't understand that much of their trends fashion comes from the gay community.
In the end, it comes down to the fact that emo kids are just following this new trend. It will die out in a couple of years, and everyone will forget about it.
