As I sit here straightening my jet-black hair over my eyes, I pose the question: What is wrong with Emo Kids?
Chicks here love people who have emo style.
Thank you!
I personally have nothing against them. I'm more annoyed by the ''gangsters'', as if we have any real ones here but still they annoy me.
Since this is posted in D&ST, I'll try to answer the question in a "D&ST-manner". Of course in my opinion:
Ever since the birth on "modern popular music", there have been popular cultures connected to musical styles. You had rockers, rockabillys and so on. Later on, mods, punks, hippies etc. In the 20th to 21st century there are a number of groups: new ones (techno heads, gangstas), new generations of an "old group" (e.g punks, hippies), and subgroups formed from older groups (emos, wiggas, skaters, goths (also semi-emo) etc.).
All groups have a tendency to identify themselves with a certain band or a number of bands in their chosen genre, and attempt to replicate their style.
Here's my answer to your question: The genre-replicators in general dislike the other genres and their "followers". Punks, rockers, grunge-dudes etc. do not dislike each others' styles in the same way that they collectively dislike emos. The reason for this is often that the above are testosterone-pumped groups, so the androgenic, feminine emo-culture is simply freaky in their opinion.
An arch-emo is (IMO, according to stereotyping) someone who dresses in black, hates everything, including him/herself, and likes to make him/herself bleed by cutting superficial wounds in their arms in order to get the attention. "Mom and dad don't care"-writings in diaries, lone wolves in schools. In most cases, emos are naturally not "that emo".
I myself was a grunge-listener in my youth, btw. However, I never attempted to replicate styles in an "overkill"-fashion.
Yeah, I think that's the reason why emos are disliked --> Overkill in every sense.

I need around tree fiddy.
Nothing really ...but it's just a phase! Most people cling to a few different 'styles' as they grow up until they develop their own sense of style and individuality and realise they don't have to conform to any group. I used to be an Industrial Goth with long black hair and would only ever wear black Nine Inch Nails T shirts!Funky_Finny wrote:

Some Emo's do act like idiots though (but that obviously doesn't account for all of them) - the desperately attention seeking ones who try to get as many people to look or listen to them in public.
Eh - I was kinda emo once (when I was 13) - without the straight, black hair. I detest the attention-whore emos who mope and cry about life. But then, I despise the gangster stereotype even more. What I hate even more is white people trying to be gangsta. >.>
