The Emo Thread

Dear Diary:

Mood: Apathetic.

My life is spiraling downward.
I couldn't get enough money to go to the
Blood Red Romance and Suffocate me dry concert.
It sucks 'cause they play some of my favorite songs
like "Stab My Heart Because I Love You" and
"Rip Apart My Soul" and of course,
"Stabby Rip Stab Stab".
And it doesn't help that I couldn't
get my hair to do that flippy thing either.
Like that guy from that band can do.
Some days ugh...

Weezer is to Beatles as Volkswagen is to Rolls Royce.

I'm not talking their music. Yeah, I like them, but I'm just of the opinion that they will be talked about. Regardless, their influence on the direction of modern music cannot be overlooked. You could hate the Beatles for all I cared, but no one can deny their importance in influence all all music played since.

Weezer? Wow...

What is original or influential about them? They had a few hit songs...There's hundreds of bands with more hits then them, dating from the years when Weezer broke out, that have waaaaaaay more influence in music. Besides that, there isn't anything original about them, which is why they won't stand the test of time and will be another radio humping band that had those few overplayed trendy songs.

REAL influential and original bands are hard to come by these days.
 
You could always consider that there is always someone worse off. In this case other people that have to watch these tools.

We had two young teens hang themselves last year in good emo fashion, of course we should always respect others for who they are. But if they influence my kids to do stupid stuff they will have something to sook about.

:p
 
when did emo and goth start to mean the same thing?

They don't.

It was a goth girl that dressed me up like that (for her own personal entertainment, no less), but at the time, i was experiencing a sort of emo phase.

If you hit an emo kid, they will cry about how life is so unfair yadda yadda yadda.

Goth kids will hit back.

and the other difference is that you can tell the difference between goth guys and goth girls.

I think you mean "if you hit an emo kid, they will cry...Goth kids will cast a magic spell on you." ;)
