I can be a quiet girl, I'm not a loner, or a poser, As a matter of fact i'm emo and im aware that you people make fun of me and sometimes think im gay, but im not gay or lez or any of that crap, and even if i was i still wouldn't care about your opinion of me, I am who I am and that's all that matters. You people out there that automatically think slit wrists and suicide notes when you hear the word emo, sit down, shut it, and listen up, thats not what emo really is, emo has no actual style, the whole point of emo is YOUR style, dress how you want to be individual and to feel good about yourself and not care what other people may or may not think about you. And for those people who still dont get the point, think about this: haven't you noticed yet that everytime you make fun of a boy in girlspants, he's oe any other emo you make fun of never been embaressed?guess why? its cause they don't care you dumbasses. yea my haircut is different why do you care? it's not like you have my hair so why do you give two shits? yea I wear tight pants. Guess what? most of my shirts are skin tight to, and I like to wear skin tight sweaters, and guess what? I still don't care about it, why in this society must we judge others just to feel good about ourselves? I don't need that bullshit it's all judgemental materialism garbage that everyone is obsessed with, and if your not like everyone else, with all the latest clothes and materials and hairstyle, your an outcast, unpopular, not one of the people, sorry but I'm done with that, I'll admit I used to be like that but a while ago a very close friend of mine taught me the real meaning of emo, he helped me realize the question, why care what others think of you? it's all nonsense, complete commercial bullshit that I'm not gonna let control my life anymore. all the latest music, like "The Game" and all those hip hop gangsta thug influences on our urban/suburban life? it's stupid, yea I realise the music I listen to is catigorized like everything else in this society as punk, or emo or hardcore, but guess what I don't feel the need to listen to it so that people like me, I listen to it because I love it, and emo music isn't the only music i listen to, as matter of fact i love many types of music, i listen to rock, metal, even a few selected rappers and pop singers. All I'm doing is expressing myself, Thats who I am, don't like it? fine, thats your choice I can't control it, but guess what? I'm not gonna stop because one 'prep' or "thug", says " hey look at the gay kid in tight pants and and a tight shirt!" because at least I don't care, and that's all I need to know.
Yes i am emo,No i dont care what you think of me. Let me ask you a question now, you people all seem to think emo is short for emotional even though its not right? Now last time I checked, anger, sadness, and depression are not the only emotions in existance. Happiness is an emotion, jealousy, embarrasment, laughter are all emotions. So maybe im not happy all the time cause alot of things in my life are shitty, but it doesn't mean im gonna get high slit my wrists and leave a suicide note on the wall written in my blood, you know emos aren't the only people who commit suicide, wiggers, preps, jocks, everyone can commit suicide. So call me what you want, emo or hardcore or just plain fag, but im not gunna care, teasing doesnt bother me or change my opinion, im emo and i love it that way. And if your gonna comment me on this long ass rant, go ahead compliment it or tell me its immature, but i dont care cause its the way i feel and if you find parts that dont make sense or might seem hypocritical, i still wont care, i thought i would let you know that

You.... i was like you ....i wrote like you... the same rant.....i defended my choices of music and clothes, politic, sexual choices, books and movies and anti commercial preferences.... just like you.So you see...nobody is going to outcast...not everybody thinks you are a disgrace of society....lol..you are like many of us has been, i guess....for sure me and moon....lol..and i can tell you....its a great compliment....:-).My daughter is 11...she went back home from school last day and was so upset. She told me that her friends were making fun of a boy and called him emo..she defended him..she told me...why do they have to judge him for his look? I hugged her and told her, keep exercisizing your right to criticize... dont get swallowed by the majority.....i dont want to scare you in telling you this..... you too will change one of these days....because you will...so i actually tell you to enjoy your difference. as much as you can...compare and pick the things you like, be very, very picky , always,....good journey......keep writing....:-) -

Just wanted to add that emo IS short for emotional. Emotional punk music and thus the hoards of teenagers who adapted their dress to fit. You're not original. Please, for the love of God, get over yourself.
Stand up for yourself, YES. Make your own choices, YES.
But please do not assimilate into an overplayed, entirely boring, subgroup and try to pretend you're doing something special. You and a "jock" or "thug" are doing the same damn thing. You just chose different groups.

Hello Emo kid, I'm not even sure what Emo is but I am happy to see you write this because I'm glad that the kids are not all these awful hip-hop gangsta types nowadays! hehehe When I was a kid I was sort of a metal-goth type (before goths became notorious!) so I'm guessing that it's along the same lines. Anyway, it does suck that all these dumb kinds are giving you a hard time for your taste in music, clothing etc. Eh, eventually I found some goth-y kids to hang out with, and everything was cool; so don't ever give up your nature, it's who you are, find some more emo kids to hang with and you'll be fine, you will be understood and respected by them! :) besides, in a few years your tastes in music clothing etc. will sort of just meld into you, and it will be who you are, the other kids will be who they are and on one will care enough to pick on each other anymore because they will have found themselves...!

uhrrm. i'm with calyptic on this. i don't know about your generation, blueorchid, but friends and schoolmates of my age bracket passed through a similar ferment, a period of rebellion, a defining moment that is all ours. it may be boring or weird or threatening to other generations. they may dismiss it as "nothing special," but i seriously lived and believed in it. friends of my generation grew deep personal bonds and common values that lasted for decades.
calyptic, you are at the threshold of defining not just yourself as a person, but as a generation. let not others dictate your terms of behavior and thought. if you call yourself an emo kid, and define it the way you define it, i will respect that and grant you your space. that was why i subscribed to your blog in the first place. to hear you out.

Hi calyptic
you actually sound like the teenager I wanted so much to be.....
but I never fought for my views...I let them be shushed...I did as I was told
you know what ... that is my biggest mistake in life
I waited till now, this year as Im almost reaching 30 to stand up for myself
to let my opinions be heard. to tell my mum I don't always agree with her.
To leave my bullying husband and face life as a single mum with 3 kids
To go back to work after maternity leave....to get stoned!!!
To voice my opinion in a crowd instead of nodding.
anywayz my point is you GO GIRL!!!!!!! I wish I was more like you sooner :-)

Sorry, just found this. I was a lot like you back in high school. I'm 40 now, and I can't really believe it but, now I'm relaxed. Finally, after all these years I can be myself and to hell with anyone who does't like it. Anyway, it gets better. The anger fades.
