Emoism.

It seems recently (or maybe in the past 1-2 yrs), a worldwide phenomenon has caused rowdy teenagers to turn to self-induced victimisation and depression. Emoism has been around for a while, but this time it's hitting the world harder than Mike Tyson on steroids.

How do you spot an Emo?

"I'm a tortured soul, but that's no reason not to be in a rock concert!"

Goths and Emos look very much alike indeed. You really cant tell them apart in terms of physical appearance actually. However, goths are into sacrificing lambs while emos just like to stay at home and cry for no apparent reason. Both goths and emos like to dye their hair black, have dark eyeliner(or eyeshadows), wear tight female pants, and have pale, white skin (either from make-up or long term avoidance from the sun).
Notice the black hair, dark eyeliner, pale skin and sad-ass face.

The good, the bad, and the Emos.

Originally a genre of softcore punk music, the lyrics and musical shittiness has allowed teens to "relate" to the "pain" that has enveloped them since childhood. We should all feel sorry for these teens because apparently having a wide screen tv, xbox and kfc everyday is too much to bear, even for a 14yr old! The main cause of this is probably MTV, which has been playing emo music and videos internationally. But is it their fault that teenagers nowadays want to be cry-babies? Ironically, Emoism is all about "being different" from everyone else, but since almost everyone is Emo now, there's not much to be different from.

The 'victimised mentality' that emos have is enough to make your piss boil. For no logical reason, they feel they have the worst lives any human can endure. An abundance of food, water, entertainment and security just isnt enough for these greedy assholes. As we speak, there is a severely underweight african kid, crawling on dirt with flies buzzing around him and vultures perched on branches, awaiting his death. But does the emo kid care? What happens when you tell him that? He replies with a half-assed, "you dont understand". Damn right I dont understand. I dont look for imperfections in my life so that i can whine like a little bitch.

Many emo songs have lyrics that bash girls about how they break the "artist's" hearts. And how much emotional damage they're in right now. Gee, could it be because they are desperate, needy and clingy? If you're heartbroken so many times that you can write an entire album about emotional damage, maybe you need to learn not to fall in love with every female you meet. Ever thought of that, you pussy? Songs also talk about how they contemplate suicide and wrist-slitting. Artists which convince their fans ( main source of income) to go kill themselves. Self-sabotaging isnt it?

Emos and other burdens of society (such as the goths, weaklings going around picking fights and pEoPLe wHo tYpE LyK dIS), all have different agendas. But their main goal, is to get attention. Be it pity or admiration.

An Emo only have 3 things on his list.
1. to be depressed
2. to complain about his depression
3. cut himself, to prove that he is 'truly depressed'.

A typical conversation of two emos might go a little something like this:

emo1: No one understands us, we're such tortured souls. Life is hard for us.
emo2: We got it tough, its so unfair.
emo1: Come over to my house so we can slit our wrists together
emo2: Its the only escape we have from the wide screen TVs and xbox.
emo1: we can listen to Taking Back Sunday, while we cut ourselves
emo2: yea, they're my favourite band to self-mutilate to.
emo1: "knife, bleed, autumn, heart, loneliness, anguish, pain, death"
emo2: what?
emo1: thats my poem, like it?
emo2: oh totally, its so deep.

"Lets end it all. Woe is me, woe is me."
