Springsteen

When you grow facial hair that's not quite a beard, but not quite stubble. Personified by Jersey's Hero Bruce Springsteen and imitated by Singer Songwriter's World Wide.

Can also be used as a verb (Sprinsteening) when someone is in the phase between beard and stubble.
Hipster in Austin Texas - Dude, you're totally Springsteening your way into being a Beard Rocker.

Lonesome Folk Guitar Player - Yeah, I've been trimming my Springsteen down in the hopes of achieving more indie cred.

Spring Break

A time of the year (usually in Mar or Apr) when college students from the northern states go to the sunbelt to bask in the beaches, beer, bods and booty. The biggest destinations are probably Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Panama City and Miami Beach.

For guys its a time of waiting to meet a hot chick and score with her a few hours later after she gets drunk. For the ladies, they put on their bathing suit and hope to meet a hot guy, hoping he's not filming you for Girls Gone Wild.
Spring Break is usually so wild and so debaucherous that its primary sponsors should be Valtrex and Trojan.

rites of spring

A truely talented punk rock band formed in 1984 in Washington DC. They are credited with defining "emo".

By this I mean the true and original emo. Not the emo we all know of now days as Hawthorne Heights and Dashboard Confessional, where cutting wrists and wearing eyeliner is the main theme.

When Rites Of Spring banded, the main music at the time was punk rock. But Rites Of Spring took punk music a step further by integrating love into their lyrics. They wrote love songs that still had the punk flare if the '80s in them. Along with highly emotional performances that were more emotional than most bands at the time. And that is what emo really is. A musical genre. Not wearing girl pants and thinking you're life is so miserable.

The word emo supposedly came from the word emocore, which was short for the genre that the Rites Of Spring fit into: Emotional Hardcore. Throughout the '80s and early '90s, that is all the word emo was. But then came the 2000s, and the word emo was slowly becoming a new word with a completely different definition. Modern mainstream bands were inspired by the past emo musical genre. They played it in their own way while changing it. Then came the emo kids. The emo kids usually followed and listened to the newer bands that took after and raped the old emo. A general emo kid consisted of the following things, give or take a few:

- Converse shoes
- (On guys) Girl pants
- Hair covering the eyes
- Band T-Shirts
- Dyed hair, usually black and sometimes mixed with red, brown, blonde, etc
- Often lonely and misunderstood
- Sweaters/hoodys
- Lip, eyebrow, ear, labret and sometimes tongue piercings

For whatever reason, people began using the term emo to describe people who listened to or followed modern emo bands: the emo kids. The original meaning of emo was forgotten and replaced by the definitions you now see on this website. A band being the modern definition of emo is now a bad thing and is often frowned upon or recoiled at. Examples for "emo" bands are as follow:

"Taking Back Sunday? Pfft. They suck. Fucking emo bands."
"hawthorne heightso is so emo, omagahzz cut mai rists n blak me eyes </3"
"Thursday is so emo! I love them!!!"

And examples of negative thoughts towards so called emo kids:

"Cheer up, emo kids."
"Dude, see that kid over there with the Taking Back Sunday shirt, dyed red & black hair, eyeliner, converse and girl pants sitting in the corner alone over there? What a fucking stupid emo fag."
"Emo kid: I'm so different. Nobody understands me. Nobody gets me. I HATE MY LIFE. *Slits wrist with a razor blade*"

I gag whenever I hear someone describe a modern band from the 2000s and late '90s as emo. The modern society of teenagers have no idea what the true definition of emo is, where it came from and what it really meant. I just wish the world could know about all of this so that this so called emo plague that has spread over the globe can finally cease.

I just don't understand how the world could turn a musical genre into an insult. What a damn shame.

I'm sure I didn't do a very good job or pay much attention to detail. If you really feel like learning more about the origin of emo, refer to http://www.Wikipedia.org and look up "emo"
TRUE: Rites Of Spring, Embrace, Dag Nasty.

FALSE: Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Dashboard Confessional, Thrice, Fall Out Boy, The Used, My Chemical Romance, Matchbook Romance, Bright Eyes, Angels & Airwaves, The Get Up Kids, Hawthorne Heights, Coheed And Cambria, Saosin, Saves The Day, Silverstein, The Starting Line, The Used, The Early November, and much much more that I simply cannot think of at this moment.

Springfield Township Highschool

A place where random ass kids come in and they may not be accepted, but they're welcome to this public school. We live outside of Philadelphia in Montgomery County. There's not too much to do around here but we sure do have a good time. A keg in the woods every other weekend and natty lite cases killed in 5 mins. The Highschool may not be high class, preppy, or highest in education but BITCH we just got turf fields and we're stepping it the fuck up. We don't care that we're not rich, because Springfield as a whole is such a great community and place for people to bond. No other school I can recognize can come together so well as if a family when something bad occurs to the town. Either from Oreland, Flourtown, or Wyndmoor.. we come together to watch our homecoming football game and support our friends. Half of the hs may be anybouls but the rest of us memorable people who have a good life. #field will always be LIT
Steve: Yo u coming to the Indian tonight?

Ethan: Fuck yeah man.. What's the theme
Steve: Nothing just come and get fucking hammered. Spread the word
Ethan: ARD BET MY NIGGA
