over the past year or so emos in mexico have been
getting beat up...this is not right..there just trying to be different...

love a heart broken emo girl

Question:
do u think we should have an emo day to support the emos around the world?

Choices:
yes
no
i dont care
emos suck
maybe

 

this is a waste of internet space.

hahahaha
did you say emos are trying be different?
is that why they all look and act the same?
ha
and just by calling emogirl
you're no different than a "prep" or "gangster"
you're throwing yourself into a group and a stereotype
Emo has completely COMPLETELY lost it's meaning
all it is anymore is a fashion statement
and kids who are attention hungry
and thinnk it's really cool to be in touch with their emotions.
it's not real anymore
i have yet to meet a genuine emo

but still that doesn't justify what's happening in Mexico.
That's just horrible ignorance
and i've seen it cuz i live on the border of texas and mexico

but emo day?
no

I agree that regardless what the "emo" people claim to be (different, love-stricken, whatever), it is a very serious thing in Mexico right now with all the riots, but what will an "Emo Pride" day do to help? Isn't that why they are being shot down in the first place? They're flaunting around now as it is and dying. Something would have to be done with the offenders first, not the victims.

Out of curiosity...what is YOUR definition of "emo"?

im being seriuos...sorry if u think were all the same...

Are you serious?

It is my understanding that the type of people who classify themselves as "emo" are not the kind to participate in an "emo pride" day or join an "emo organization."

Unless you are going to argue that emo kids have some sort of biological predisposition to dressing and behaving the way they do, I don't understand why it is necessary to protect a choice that people are making...you have freedom of speech and expression, that doesn't mean everyone has to like it. Nor does it mean that other people have to support it.

there just trying to be different...

And in doing so, they're all the same. Wasn't the whole point of emo to be different? If so, why do they all dress alike? Tight jeans, tight t-shirts (often supporting some womanizing band or another), straight hair with bangs in the face (often dyed black), skater shoes, multiple piercings...
