I've never had the urge to wear too much eyeliner, listen to My Chemical Romance, or wear jeans way too tight.

I think that's why it confused me. It seems to just add a comparison to what Emaline said (and a pretty confusing one, since the emo Emaline was talking about is a kind of punk anyway), but it's got that smilie with the rolling eyes and I generally assume someone's being patronising to the person they're quoting when they use that. I guess they must be using it for another reason.

Of course a punk was a type of person before it was a type of music before it was a type of person too.
--- Quote from: a pack of wolves on 09 Jun 2008, 22:31 ---I think most of them use it as a means of wearing some tight-fitting clothes while they listen to some pop music. People like dressing up, that's why glam and the new romantic thing worked. Same thing with these kids. I remember loads of kids cutting themselves, going on about death and suicide and all that when I was at high school in the '90s. There is nothing new here whatsoever, only now emo gets blamed instead of grunge, punk rock, video nasties, computer games or whatever other convenient scapegoat happens to be available.

Thisssssssss.
I know plenty of "emo" or "scene" kids who listen to depressing music, have angular haircuts and wear tight jeans who also happen to be quite cheery, interesting and generally OK to be around, despite the aforementioned depressing music. I think that the nature of the tunes do often attract a certain person, much in the same way that aggressive music often attracts aggressive people. But the scene or the tunes shouldn't be blamed for the actions of it's fans.
