It's been such a long time since I've posted anything. I was just so occupied by the stories I'm writing and playing video games.. or video game. Yes, I made yet another character in Oblivion. But that's not what I'm going to talk about today... I could talk about Oblivion some other day.

"I'm an emo kid; nonconforming as can be. You'd be nonconforming too if you look just like me. I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face. I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs." -Adam and Andrew: The Emo Kid Song
Emo. Oh my god, emo. This is one topic that just keeps on bringing its self up all the time. For some reason, I feel like my job in this world is to extinguish the emo stereotype in the world. People would probably start saying now, "Geez, man, just leave them emo kids alone. They're not doing anything wrong to you. They're just emo kids being emo kids because that's what they are: emo kids."
Now, I say to you, shut up. The supposedly "emo kids" aren't the main problem, it's the people who take the idea of emo people as a reality.
A lot of you would be very lost and won't even see where I'm going with this. That is because you are too delusional and blinded by the media and idiots. Also because you are one of those idiots.
Here is my point: There is no such thing as an emo person.
There it is. Very straightforward and quick to the point... (actually, not that quick)
Idiot: You're stupid. Of course there is such a thing as an emo person.
Me: Yes, there are people in the world who just love cutting themselves and crying themselves to sleep, and have no friends, and love to engage in homosexual intercourse at the age of 13. (yes, sarcasm)
First of all, let's start with what the emo stereotype really is, then I'll ridicule them one-by-one.
1. Emo kids are depressed all the time.
2. Emo kids cuts themselves because of their pain
3. Emo kids are really different form the whole world
4. Emo kids are very dark and mysterious
5. Emo kids wear skinny jeans and small shirts
6. Emo kids always cry
7. Emo kids are all about heartbreak and emotional situations
8. Emo kids wear make-up and paint their nails black
9. Emo kids listen to My Chemical Romance
10. Emo kids have no feelings
11. Emo kids are deep and poetic
12. Emo kids have no friends
Now, time for the ridiculing:
1. Can you possibly imagine someone being depressed all the time? Hm, yes, maybe someone with manic depression, but they're not called emo. They're called bipolar. But even they can smile once in a while. And if you have no psychological disorders and yet you are always depressed, you either must have a shitty life, or you are doing it on purpose. But I mean, come on, even Quasimodo was a partly happy guy.
2. Yes, self-inflicted pain. This is very common within adolescent children. Why? Because emo is such a fad. Kids would feel down, cut themselves and doesn't even put any effort in hiding it. For some reason, they think the pain would make things better. Pain + pain = happiness. What the Frank?! This isn't multiplying or dividing integers! But self-inflicted pain is a common case, but it isn't for depression, it is to fix numbness. Remember this: cutting yourself won't make yourself cool.
3. Different? You see, here's the thing: everyone is different. Just imagine a world where everyone was the same. That would be really shitty. How would you ever love someone for their personality if that personality was in everyone else? Everyone is different, but everyone keeps trying to be what everyone wants to be. And if "emo kids" were so different, how come they and their friends all like clones? Why would there be an emo stereotype if they were so different? Loophole there.
4. I'm so dark. I'm so emo. How could someone be mysterious? They wouldn't be mysterious if you were close. This "mysterious" description is just a simple-minded alternative to anti-social. Think about it: if you find a person mysterious, do you think that that person's friends find him mysterious too? Of course not. You just don't know that person enough. And as for dark, that's more of a gothic description, really. They could be doing it on purpose or they must just have a poetic mind.
5. Emo fashion. This is acceptable. Emo is a trend, a genre of music, but most certainly not a kind of person. Get this straight. (Not so much of ridiculing there.)
6. It's good to cry. It's good to let feelings out. That's kind of a hypocritical thing for someone like me to say, but this isn't about me. If you cry a lot that doesn't make you emo, (mostly because there is no such thing as an emo person) it makes you open, or sensitive, or comfortable of how you feel... Or a used tampon. (I'm just kidding.)
7. Heartbreak. Usually heartbreak comes from stupidity; from the kind of "love" I mentioned in one of my past posts. If all you talk and think about are heartbreak and your sad emotions, that doesn't make you emo. That makes you either a flaming homosexual, a love-obsessed kid, or an unlucky bastard.
8. Again, emo fashion. It's alright, but this doesn't apply all the time. Let's say someone wears make-up and black nail polish, please do not call them emo. Because that person just may know me, contact me and you would get an hour-long sermon about this same topic.
9. Like I said a little while back, emo is also a genre of music. But trust me, My Chemical Romance is not emo. They are punk. Get your facts straight. If you want to listen to emo music, listen to Death Cab for Cutie, or things like that.
10. Bullshit. Everyone has feelings. (I was too lazy to write more stuff in here.)
11. If you're deep and poetic, that most certainly does not make you emo. That just makes you.. well... deep and poetic.
12. Everyone has friends. A friend doesn't necessarily mean a peer who is not related to you. Your mom could be your friend. Yo mama.
So, I hope this sets you straight. Emo is a kind of fashion and a genre of music. If someone claims they're emo, slap them across the face again and again until the make fades. If someone calls you emo, give them the ultimate punch (Hot Rod reference)
Oh, and just to clear things up with My Chemical Romance. I love MCR and I don't want anyone mistaking me or them as emo.
"I think emo is fucking garbage, it's bullshit. I think there's bands that unfortunately we get lumped in with that are considered emo and by default that starts to make us emo. All I can say is anyone actually listening to the records, put the records next to each other and listen to them and there's actually no similarities. I think emo's a pile of shit." -Gerard Way, MCR vocalist

That felt good.
Starting now, I would want the idea of an emo person disappear,
if not completely, then at least a little.
And if you want to see something awesome,
go to youtube, and search in "I'm so emo"
and watch the video by Onision.
I'm not promoting him, I'm just saying that this is what
made me want to talk about this topic today.
And by the way, his video is a mock. It's an insult to the people who think they're emo
