Damn emo's they pretend to be depressed, their like pseudo-depressed over stupid . &&*(*&^TEY And they can't even cut theselves properly, rather than cutting down along their veins, they cut sideways. Stupid. No wonder their losers, they can't even do a good job at killing themselves. And they listen to crappy music.
Stop trying to apolgize for emo's I know enough of them to know their all patethic losers. They sad over things liek "OH NO I BROKE A NAIL! I'm gonan cry for hours now" patethic freaks. Dammit I know an emo girl like that, she even has the cuts on her arms, I've told her before to kill herself properly and do us all a favor. Hah. Emo's....
I've always found emos rather offensive. These are people who've seen the way depressed people live (and that's REALLY depressed, clinically depressed, not 'teenager-style' depressed) and thought 'I want in'. I'm not sure why - coolness, attention probably - but it's sickening.
Being in touch with your emotions is great. That doesn't mean you have to mope.
This is what most people think of emos, what you think. The problem is, the normal healthy emos, who actually are quite plentiful, suffer from people thinking they know these things about all emos.
There are three groups of emos:
1)The people who are very emotional. note this:
with both positive and negative emotions. They are vital. These are the definition of the actual emo-subculture - the founders of the subculture. (~30% of all emos)
2) the people who are emo just to be emo. They are not actual emos, but want to be. Mainly teens or weak people. They pretend to be sad as a filter to their actual emotions, which is not in touch with the actual way of being emo at all, as to be emo is to be in touch with your feelings in a high rate. These people pretend to feel that way. (~60% of all emos)
3) The people who are mentally ill. they are extremely emo, and have a good tendency to be thinking the wrong way (negatively), constantly. They are defined emos, because that they are in touch with their feelings, but shouldn't be categorized so, because they are so because of their mental state. THere is just the same people in all other subcultures, even the mainstreamers. (~10% of all emos)
Unfortunately, group 2 and 3, as not actual emos, shows the picture of being emo to the world. That is a wrong picture, not the true one, which Silver obviously thinks is the way of being so. They aren't that way. I know just 10 emos myself, with just one being insane, five being in touch with their emotions, and four wanting to be special. Only the insane is cutting himself, and the general opinion of course states that they all do. I know that eight of the nine remaining don't do so, I've went to a pool with them, seeing them showering. They do have a special way of speaking, but so do I, and there's nothing wrong with that. They merely sound like philosophers, which would possibly be annoying to many people, though... But they are happy, very happy people. I've also experienced them very sad, on the other hand, but they are
reasonable human beings, so they would never cut themselves.
The mentally ill is not reasonable ofc. But you see the ones who are extreme and unreasonable beings, and think they all are that way because one is such a person, and they tend to be very outgoing compared to the other ones.
