Teen Stereotype: ‘Emo’

This word is short for ‘emotional.’ In the eighties there were ‘punks’. This new ‘emo’ crowd is basically the new wave of punk. If you have ever curiously wandered by the store “Hot Topic”, you will understand their (hard!) core fashion statement. If not, it generally consists of black eyeliner, black corsets, black boots, black hair dye, and black pants beset with dozens of chains. The origin is somewhat unknown. To passersby at the mall, these emos just look like the ‘punks’. They typically enjoy listening to ‘screamo’ (a type of ‘music’ in which screaming is accompanied by whining guitars and teenage angst) and applying black eyeliner. If your child or friend considers themselves an emo, take caution… as many of these teens tend to purposefully injure themselves to ‘feel something at all’.

What is their problem? Cant they get over themselves? They whine on and on about their psycho parents, getting over their EXes and other stuff. If they opened their minds a lil more, they would realize that THEY might be the psycho ones or they could DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR LOVE LIFE by avoiding dating. Simple as that. With what I've said I'm gonna change my blog skin into something.. less emo. OH New Year's Resolutions in my next post.
