Emo being as much as a subculture as going way too far. Only an idiot would be as stupid as to "become" emo. As for the punks... isn't emo a punk subgenre? Get over yourselfs and your little pointless cults. Isn’t emo just a music genre? Emo being as much as a subculture as going way too far. Only an idiot would be as stupid as to “become” emo.

Now we're both happy. I get to laugh at overly sensitive people and you get to feel persecuted. Win, win, just like I said. How again is being so *exquisitely* sensitive and pretty much completely self-focused Christian? Every emo I've ever encountered just wallows in a pit of how other people "make" them feel. They should get over themselves, it's completely ridiculous. That level of scrutiny of and attention to your own emotions is not at all indicative of a solid Christian walk. How can you grow in your faith and in your relationship with God when you're constantly naval gazing? Now, if that doesn't apply to you (and I wouldn't know, since we've never met), then fine; maybe you define "emo" some other way and you break the emo mold while still clinging to the label. But again, every emo I've ever dealt with is pretty much self-parodying. I didn't invent the stereotype, I just took note of it. See? Now we’re both happy.

And for the emos, it’s really a win-win because that’s one more thing to be miserable about." OUCH. yeah, hi. i'm emo, & i'm a Christian. i certainly don't appreiciate your humour there. you call yourself a Christian? “Granted, it’s kind of a dog bites man story, because, face it, who hasn’t wanted to smack an emo around?
