well.....

Most emo's are just stereotypical...

What does cutting yourself do? If they hate life then their doing an incredibly bad job of killing themselves. BUT, they don't want to kill themselves because they know that their problems are tiny... They just want attention.. Cutting yourself or dressing in compleate black is not the way to get it.

so, I'm against emo's... They can continue being idiots but do so in private...

I dress in mostly black. THAT MEANS IM EMO RIGHT!

Nobody cares.

Nobody cares.

I second that...

I've yet to actually meet a real emo person :/
Emo isn't dressing in clothes n shit from Hot Topic or that faggoty gay ass shit that we all know what "emo people" do.

I tent to hate every "emo" person at my school for that simple fact. Some of them have kick as lives an still try to act like their life sucks :/ Oh well.

As for real emo people, I wouldn't have too big of a problem with them if they didn't cut.

What The **** Are You Doing On The Computer You're Using Electricity!

CO2 has bugger all to do with the ozone layer. That's CFC's.

Anyway, on topic, I can't understand emos and I think there is a lot of selfcentredness involved there, but so long as they don't bother me, I won't bother them (since I'm selfcentred too).

Quote from cody ray taylor

in your opinionare are emo's good or bad?


on one side of the coin emos cut them selfs insded of others arowned them focusing emotions in inward insted of outward

medication to contorl emotions can get spendy and these peaple become emotionaly distant and if not medicated can become extremely agresiv towrds others

pick a side

First off, what is it with you always putting this retarded fuckass smiley giving us the finger into the title of every thread you create? It's neither funny nor does it gain you respect, just fuck off with that.

Now okay, it's plain to see that you're a stupid shitmint and it's not like I didn't know that beforehand. This thread however is still making me rage like a motherfucker and I want you to know and fully comprehend what the bucket should be filled with that I would love to drown you in. I also don't care if you're a troll, because I really think you're not, and I'm also not going to heed the fact that you're an inconvertable dumbass.


Emos cut themselves? Let me get something straight once and for all: Not all "Emos" cut themselves, much in the way that not all people who inflict pain to themselves are "Emos". I don't see why so few people can actually get that into their skulls. Self-inflicted injury isn't only for people who dye their hair black and shop at hot topic or whatever. It used to be a sign that alarmed other people because it used to be easy to understand what reasons made one cut themselves. I don't understand where that has gone lost, and self-injuring behaviour became a general "Yeah, whatever" thing. "They do it for the attention" isn't a valid argument. If someone goes to such lengths for attention, they've still got a problem that should be investigated in any case. In any case. There are the asshats that don't need help, that put on a drama for nothing, indeed. But it's still not yours to judge someone like that at first glance. It never was, and there was a time when people realized that fact. This kind of "it's only emos cutting themselves" idea led to this dangerous neglectance.
I'm not going to go into depth here and go all over conditions that can lead to self-injury, so don't ask.

Then, pointing ones emotions "inward" doesn't make a whole lot of sense the way you said it, but then again. People are different. Not everybody wears their heart on their sleeve. Before you accuse me of missing the point here; I know that there are many, many emos that don't reflect personality in their behaviour and just do it to prove something, being overall self-centered dicks. I know there's many of them. Generalizing just always blows and it does in this case.


Medication to control emotions? Are you fucking retarded? Are you that motherfucking ignorant?
It's so hard to believe that you either
A) Believe that people who just go with the Emo style take prescription drugs to control their emotions
B) Believe that people who take prescription drugs to control emotions are just going with the style and chose to rely on medication.

Apart from maybe a very small margin of addicts, there are almost no people I could think of that actually choose to be, e.g., depressed so violently they have to take medication, you cocksucking motherfucker.

Thank god you're illiterate, so I couldn't take you enormously serious and thank god your attention span isn't lengthy enough to create a longer shitfest of an OP post.


I would appreciate a bucket filled with the shit of your dead parents and your lifeless head lying in it, just by the way.

Emo's are an already extinct breed. Nowadays we have 'Wemos', wannabe emos.

Think of Tokio Hotel and their faggotry fans.

Also, they're not sad, they're not emotional. They call themselves emo because they wanna be different.... By being the same. That shit confuses me.

Actually, you've just exposed more bare stupidity than that other guy.
Cutting oneself is not a shitty attempt at suicide, it's something completely, completely different. You don't know shit about it obviously, so don't be so sure. Yes it's a touchy subject to me to some extent, but mostly it just pisses me off how people like you think they're so much smarter by looking down on it when they're way wrong.

Self-harm was more than twice as common among females as males and, in four of the seven countries, at least one in ten females had harmed herself in the previous year. Additional young people had thought of harming themselves without doing so. More males and females in all countries except Hungary cut themselves than used any other method, most acts took place at home, and alcohol and illegal drugs were not usually involved. The most common reasons given were 'to get relief from a terrible state of mind' followed by 'to die', although there were differences between those cutting themselves and those taking overdoses. About half the young people decided to harm themselves in the hour before doing so, and many did not attend hospital or tell anyone else. Just over half those who had harmed themselves during the previous year reported more than one episode over their lifetime.

I'm really trying to find some raw data on this because the language used here is slightly ambiguous and does leave some room for the possibility that the researchers are manipulating their data to get what they want to see (eg. "many did not tell anyone else". In a study of 30,000 people, whichever category you're looking for you are going to find many people in, even if it's significantly a minority).

Anyway, the main conclusion to draw is that people who cut themselves are, like UberScHall says, probably not attention-seeking.

Some more (again limited) data here show that instances of self-harm have increased since "emo" arose as a noticeable social group. This could show emos to have a definite negative effect on society by making people think that they will get relief through self-harm, and therefore making depressed people depressed and injured where before they would have just been depressed.

I think the most crucial point, however, is why the fuck won't people leave me their raw data to look at?

We arn't good nor bad, it all depends on the person.
