emo bands

Bands that, much like emo kids themselves, all look and sound very similar. In fact, there may be pretty much no difference between Emo Band A and Emo Band B. That's how annoying it can get.

Emo bands may have a lot of potential, but sadly, it is all wasted because they try too hard to fit under one stereotype, just like the average emo kid.
Characteristics of emo bands:
1. The singer sounds just like Adam Lazzara
2. Some of the lyrics may be screamed
3. Poppy sound
4. Very simple guitar riffs
5. Two or more of the band members have "emo hair," and the singer is usually one of them
6. Don't forget eyeliner
7. Lyrics include the weirdest, most nonsensical-sounding metaphors ever, something along the lines of "My little period at the end of your sentence..."
8. Songs are about relationships or life in general - they are NEVER optimistic, though they may be upbeat
9. The band members will always deny the "emo" label, much like emo kids (once again)
10. Usually disappear after two or three albums, or with some cases, even one, but not before at least one of their songs becomes a radio hit

step 1: don't wash your hair for several days/weeks/years

step 2: dye you hair black and/or red (if your truly emo you could use your own blood)

step 3: get way too much gel and and completely fuck up the back of your head

step 4: arange your fringe so that you can only see out of your left eye (thus halving the ammount of misery you have to see in your stupid emo life)

emo 1: how deep is this cut?

emo boy

An emo boy is a male who has bought into the MTV fad of over sensitivity. Usually, the male is of college age and is going through "the motions". Hopefully, in time, the emo boy with grow out of his confusion and become a regular man.

It's a popular misconception that emo boys are more in touch with their emotions than non-emo males. It's generally a drama paradox, showing more emotion that one has.

An emo boy is usually seen wearing: Jet black hair, black clothing, thrift store clothing with misc. logos, Chuck Tailors (or similar), black army style caps, studded belt, tight pants

The emo male is usually well groomed and metrosexual.
Now I could make fun here but, we're all guilty of buying into things. Everyone is capable of following a fad. So, cheer up emo kid, it's only a growing stage of your life.

emo kid

Annoying adolescents and/or teenagers who insist they are "depressed" but in reality, just want attention. They usually tend to listen to music that involves skinny guys whining and "screaming" about things that supposedly have deep meaning. The drummers of these bands often try to look cool by using a double bass pedle (stop kidding yourselves, you suck). They tend to make fun of any other genre of rock music and only like bands (especially underground ones) until they become popular. Once they're popular "they suck".
They can't admit that they bought an article of clothing in hot topic b/c that would make them a "poseur". <Newsflash: you're a poseur if you shop there and THEN do not admit that you do.>
They also mosh like pussies. If you're going to go into a pit, fucking stop swinging and actually mosh or else you WILL get knocked the fuck down.
Simply put, they just need to stop crying and actually try to see all the great things that they DO have in their lives, instead of whining about that girl who dumped them in 7th grade.
All the little emo kids I hang out w/ are so annoying. All I ever hear them talk about is how great a new band is that no one has ever heard of.. by next week everyone will know all of that band's songs by heart and then no one will like them a week after that.

emo (adjective)

Somebody being emo is somebody who is overly emotional and melodramatic about situations that don't really warrant that, especially everyday life situations. These people tend to thrive on negative attention, and the phrase "misery loves company" really fits them to a 'T'. They may take an interest in your life or problems, but they will overly exaggerate your problems as well as an attempt to get you to commiserate with them on how miserable you have it also (when really it's not as bad as all that), just because they get high on misery. Misery and negative attention and melodrama is like a drug to emo people and they will do anything to get it. Often, talking to them can seem like they are parasitic. They may talk to you about your problems, but it feels like they are more interested in hyping your problems up, for them to get their "fix" of their melodrama drug, than they are truly interested in understanding your situation. These people will often make extreme statements, commonly about how depressed they are, and how they just don't know if they want to go on living, all over very silly situations and circumstances.
Me: How was your day?

Emo Person: OMG! You have no idea! This person was mean to me on facebook, and, and, I just don't even know anymore, some days I don't even want to keep on living. I ask myself why I'm even doing this.

Me: Well, I'm sorry someone was mean to you...

Emo Person: How was your day? *sniff*

Me: It was alright, my professor was kind of a jerk but other than that it was okay...

Emo Person: I'm soo sorry! OMG! I'm so sorry you professor was soo horrible to you! What is wrong with this world!!! I just don't even know anymore... Honestly, I wonder why I even keep on going anymore.... *cries*

Me: ...
Me: Um, yeah wow, you're really emo. Okay, I gotta go now... bye!
