'Me And My Friend Want To Be Emo, But We Don't Know How'

Actual quote, from an actual girl, on my actual bus.

I found it amusing to think that such a common stereotype could be difficult to mimic, much more so that these particular little lasses were all into it.

Eavesdropping a little more, as you do, it appears that they are going to '... buy some black eyeliner and some black mascara and some black eyeshadow, and have to get another headband that ISN'T PINK'.

Great sweetie. Because ludicrously dark eye makeup and non-pink accessories will TOTALLY make you EMO.

To tell you the truth, I am sick to death of that whole concept. It seems like the buzz word for 2006, and everyone is either 'Emo is GREAT! mcr ARE THE BEST!' or they're all 'OMG I HATE EMO, I hope they all die!'.

Please, please, PLEASE, find another stereotype.

Is it really that compelling?

Apparently so, because these days anything different is suddenly 'emo'. For example, the sport carnival was today, and being the totally team spirited person I am (cough cough) I went sporting a large orange mohawk and some fishnets. Because I'm cool. And according to some little lads this makes me 'emo'.

At the same time, the kids wearing mostly black and sitting listening to their ipods under the trees were ALSO 'emo'.

As well as the girl who dyed her hair black.

And the guy wearing the tight t-shirt.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

At least the year is more then halfway over. Hopfully next year will bring a less annoying trend. Althoug judging by the state of things, it seems doubtful.

Those who consider themselves, or are considered by others to be, "scene kids" often engage in many short-lived trends, most appropriated from other sub-cultures. These have included bandanas (which were previously associated with both hip-hop and homosexual sub-cultures), sweatbands, eyeliner (for males) and recently L.E.D. belt buckles, which display scrolling text. As the popularity of these items increases, those who are considered to be most "scene" (hip) abandon them for other trends.Fashioncore hehe fashioncore,i love Wikipedia. Proof that its all about the music man! hehe and jessie,i was having a yarn to trolley Lad yesterday.ask him out for god's sake! :o) Aug. 30
