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: .....
