Emo culture in england..
Its subculturial plagiarism. A cancer of social uniques. Absorbing its favourite bits of symbolic social groups, creating a mainstream mash-up thats easy to follow with mass appeal.
Its prime targets will be "cool" underground scenes or movements. These are discovered, expoited, they quickly become commerical, thus ruining the appeal of feeling "different" while still being apart of something.
It's the lust to be unique, but at the same time feel apart of a group that fuels this popular social tend.
It seems appeal mainly but not exclusively to middleclass white boys with no clue about pussy or music.

skinny fit jeans from the 70s, flat peak caps from hip hop, bright luminous colour from 90s house/rave/dance, gloth/grunge jewelry and make up, converse/indie shoes, jock checkered shirts, metro/indie hair cuts.
blokes wearing make up. Someone that likes pendulem or chase and status or says they like dubstep but didnt know what it was 3 years ago. They like "nu rave" which isn't even a real genre.
(emos always call me a chav but I just know that girls dont give a shit what im wearing cus my dicks massive)

Get the Emomug. Teenage kids usually between 14-17 who grew up in suburbia and think their lives suck. they have access to cable, computor/internet,but still think their lives suck when theres people who have it worse. usually made fun of but they have it coming to them. they think theyre all depressed when they have no reason to be. they make themselves miserable, but who cares they bring it upon themselves.

Get the emomug. Emo is just another stupid stereotype. Emo does not mean you listen to MCR and Fall Out Boy all the time. Emo does not mean you cut yourself. Emo is just another label.
Apparently, it has become cool to be uncool. So many people out there have labeled themselves emo, even though so many others call emos "fags". The vast majority of people that label themselves are just poseurs.
Both boys and girls that are eventually going to be labeled emo usually have:
-tight jeans
-hair that covers at least one eye
-a playlist containing either bands that others have labeled emo, or bands that few have ever heard of
-tight tee shirts, probably a band shirt
-eyeliner
-Converse or Vans
In my world, these kinds of things are perfectly normal, even the tight jeans and eyeliner on guys. But some people choose to label these people emo.
Emo does not actually mean anything. Emo is actually just another stupid label given to people that don't fit someone else's version of normal.
OK, rant over.

Get the Emomug. Probably the most stupid and soft form of punk. (NOTE that other punk genres kick ass ).
Songs are usually themed with depression, teen angst and suicide. Also emo music has developed its own form of fashion : Scene. Scene or Emo kids always cry around for how about their lives suck and how nobody understands them.
Another also annoying and totally wrong thing about emo is that they think are brutal or hardcore.
1. There is nothing brutal in emo songs. Songs structures are with crappy guitars, almost unnoticable drumming, and singing that really sounds like crying.
2. There is nothing hardcore about emo. HARDCORE is a type of punk, and is fast, agressive and totally kickass. And emo has none of that. The emo songs are depressive and slow.

Emo is not brutal. If you want brutal, go listen to some good death metal.
OMFG ! My life sucks, I'll go cry and slit my skinny wrists !
