There aren't actually that many emo haters. Those that really are tend to be hardcore metal or punk types who believe that emo music has
bastardized and ripped off their genre. Even then, thats more towards the music than the emos themselves.
The reason emos accuse people of being emo haters is that they either:
a) have a victim complex, and want to make it seem that their life is difficult, when in fact it is not, or
b)they want to be seen as so non conformist and rebellious that there are groups of people dedicated to hating them.
Actually, the
majority of people don't care. No, we don't think you emos are original, and that goes for both your style and music which are both incredibly
derivative. But that doesn't mean we are all the
homophobic arrogant emo death wishers you wish us to be.
Those who do speak of emo holocausts/genocides probably have way to much time on their hands, and shouldn't be taken seriously. Do
you know how many people hated on the original punks of the 70s? Do you know how much shit the Sex Pistols got? But they didn't bitch about it anywhere NEAR as much as you people do.
I mean come on guys. There's a war on. Several wars. And genocides and famines, not to mention global poverty or the AIDs epedemic. So emos, take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourselves...is life really that bad?
Emo: Why do you hate us? Emo haters!
Punk 1: I don't hate you. I'm
fucking bored of you. You aren't worthy of my hate.
Emo: Why do you hate us?
Punk 2: Look, just piss off.
Emo: See, you hate us and our whole subculture. You ignorant homophobe!
Punk 2: Are you on crack?
Emo: Why do you hate us?
Punk 3: Eh?
Emo: It's people like you that make our lives so difficult. We don't all cut you know! That's a stereotype.
Punk 3: I really
don't give a fuck. No one does. Get over yourselves.
Emo: OMG you are discrimating against us! Emos are the new blacks!
Punk 3: Did you seriously just compare a largely middle class teenage subculture with several million people living all over the world, connected (
in your eyes)only by their skin pigmentation? You racist little shit!
Emo: .....
