I MUST BE EMO...
EMO..short for "emotional".Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles and stuffs of emotionally-charged punk rock.
I consider myself as an emo girl.I think sometimes life is suffocating me and it sucks.Maybe it was just because I cannot get what I want,or people get me wrong or something.I have all the qualities of an emo though.I sometimes write suicide notes,I write poems full of disgrace and pain,I sometimes wear weird fashion statements and worse,I sometimes cut my wrist in every direction.They were just the times when I got really depressed.I really hate this world.
Emo fashion is usually described to have roots in punk fashion as well as gothic fashion(wish not).By almost all current definitions,emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike,long bangs(fringe)often brushed to one side of the face,dyed black hair(mine's not),tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands,studded belts,belt buckles,Chuck Taylor All-Stars or other black shoes-often old and beaten up -and thick,black-rimmed glasses.Emo fashion has changed with time;tightly fitting sweaters,button-down shirts,and work jackets with black or dark manicure.This has fallen out of fashion nowadays.I,myself,wear these so-called "weirdo-clothes" and I am proud of that.Because even in just the way I dress up,I could express my deep emotions and feelings to the people around me even those who care less about me.That just make us,emos,feel okay.To be left alone and be cared less of.
When referring to a person's personality and attitude,most definitions of emo hold that an "emo person" is candid about their emotions,sensitive,shy,introverted,broken-hearted,glum,and often quiet(does it include being funny?).Emo personality is also often connected with writing poetry,which addresses confusion,depression,loneliness,and anger,all resulting from the world's inability to understand the author or the emo person himself.Emo poetry uses a combination of any of:a highly emotional tone,stream of consciousness writing,a simple or nonexistent rhyme scheme,references to the flesh,especially the heart,heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives,care less,death,concern over the mutability of time and/or love,and disregard for punctuation,grammar,and/or spelling.Themes such as "life is pain" are common.
Some definitions of emo hold that typical"emo persons"are likely to inflict self-injury,most often by means of cutting with sharp things,burning,or otherwise mutilating themselves.The theme of self-injury is also common in emo poetry.Some assert that it is cool within the emo subulture to pretend to be suicidal and self-harm or that participants self-harm purely for personal enjoyment or what.Critics have gone so far as to contend that the emo subculture or emo music are likely to cause youth to commit suicide and really kill themselves.
Both emo music and emo style have attracted sometimes severe criticism.The term emo itself is sometimes used pejoratively,to suggest that the target is" overly emotional(deep emotions)".Critics cast the music as lacking any artistic merit,the fashion as"embarrassing"and members of the subculture as imagining or pretending that they lead harsh,painful lives when they actually live in comfortable,upper to middle class homes(maybe).Members of the emo subculture are portrayed by critics as melodramatic,self-pitying teenagers who pour their efforts into writing bad poetry and spend too much time on MySpace or Friendster.The current emo subculture has been called a "sad caricature" of what it once was,very sad.The backlash against emo music and subculture has become so prevalent that it may itself have become a cliché:one man notes that"hating emo kids these days is as hackneyed as emo itself."
I just don't know.I am almost full of sorrow.I really owe a lot to God,to my friends who made me feel alright after all the pains.They made me change the way I look at life.I think we Emos are losers.We just can't accept the fact that life's like this.People see me as a strong,happy,blessed person.But behind my smiles,they just don't know how much I am in pain and almost broken..
