(no subject)
I have finally been able to put into words why i dislike emo kids and the whole sub sub culture so much.
Emo Kid: Someone who displays some or all of the following characteristics
1) Listens to lyrics about how the world is unfair or how people are emotional and hurt
2) Listens to music that is made up of simple chords and the same guitar harmonies in every song
3) Wear tight jeans, mostly dark colours, hoodies from a band that will most likely not exist in 3 years
4) Has multiple piercings that are obviously there soley for the shock value and nothing else, often they whistle in the wind as a result
5) The hair is black and often covering one eye, males are often found using their sisters blow drier causing domestic problems.
6) Gender unconditional use of pale make up, eyeshadow, and eyeliner are a must
7) They will always be complaining about how things are not worth trying for and bringing the mood down
8) They are most often found hailing from well developed suburban areas.
They give up. They are often given so much and they live in a country FULL of opportunities and they just don't seem to care. They would rather sit in the dark and complain about the world then get off their sorry asses and do something about it. They will bitch to all high hell about how the world is so cruel to them, how some girl broke their heart, how there isn't a reason to live. In the words of Warf... "Die". Seriously, if all you can do is complain and you don't see the beauty in life what is the point of existing? If someone living in poverty in Africa who has AIDS, no water to drink, weighs about 70 lbs because they have to live off of grubs when they can find them, has no chance to see the world and knows only true suffering wants to complain, that is legitimate. When you complain that your parents didn't buy you the car you wanted, that the materialistic relationship you just had ended because you made no human connection to your significant other because you were too busy trying to fit a role for them, or that you don't feel like waking up to go to the schooling your parents are paying for as you fail your way through it because of your crappy attitude, blaming everyone else for your problems, then I couldn't care less about it.
Some would love to blame this on some bio chemicical disease, use a disorder as an excuse. Blame ADD, blame depression, screw that. *I* have been diagnosed with depression, long time ago, they tried to make me take pills and placate me, i had to sign a waiver saying they weren't responsible for me if i didn't take the drugs or continue therapy. Fuck that noise, I realized that all i had to do was show some willpower, some backbone, not give up on myself. It worked wonders. I'm not looking for a medal by any means but on the same token i'm not extending my sympathies to those who would rather pack up and give in than fight and better themselves, to contribute to the world around them. I do acknowledge that there are RARE circumstances where people are genuinely unable to cope naturally because of their physical anomalies or extreme backgrounds. Being spanked isn't extreme. Being locked in room naked and hit with a baseball bat for not eating your breakfast, that's extreme. For the most part it's all whining spoiled kids (i refer to their mental state) who have nothing better to do with their boring day to day lives then find faults in the world.
Why am i ranting about this? For the most part i'm about the most mentally stable person i know, recently that was thrown into question. Events had me second guessing myself, something that never happens. Having three parts of my mind all pulling on any one subject in an entirely different direction, feeling weak and useless like i was on the wheel of fate. It was so easy to almost slip into the world of self pity and self proclaimed confusion. Took me a while but i finally slapped myself and woke up. I wasn't 'confused' i just didn't want to accept some things. Looking back on this, it's almost laughably pathetic. The point is, it drives me crazy that people will throw themselves into downward spirals for years at a time claiming to be confused and that the world is against them, but when they describe their situation to me i could write their life store into point form, fill half a page and tell them the truth they can't accept. Abrupt ending here.
