That sounds like a fun class! Why'd you says that it's like its one positive aspect? Like, lots of homework?

Like ... I thought emo's were cutters too ... because like they're so emotional and all. Idsey is so a jock wannabe. He's like into soccer now.

I'll rip your head off with that sterotype. Emo has been around since the 80's. Jawbreaker, Rites of Spring, etc. >> It's not all Taking Back Sunday and Ben Folds. Dead Poetic, Hawthorne Heights and Against Me! are screamo or punk, not emo. Huuuge difference. Emo ("emotion") is about singing about what you feel, not being depressed. Emo people don't cut, that would be hot topic sell-outs or 'scene kids.' Emo isn't a type of person, it's a genre that's been around since the early 80's. It came from the DC music scene. Being depressed is a crappy metal ballad which every metal band has, not emo. Emo is not wearing tight pants and eyeliner, that's being retrosexual, or are you not allowed to mix a 'preppy' term with anything but 'preppy'? That's rather silly. And if I remember correctly, you had a Taking Back Sunday lyric as your msn name for a long while. Being a sterotype and listening to "emo" music are two different things ( ... )

Ah, now, you see, there is actually a difference between 'emo' and 'emo'. 'Emotion', is emo, every song that has some feeling put on it, is emo, right? And of course every band has a few or even more of that. But you see, 'emo' now, stands also for 'Emotional Hardcore', and that's the stereotyped one, that I talked about before. Somehow, it seems for me, that every 'emo' song they listen to, talk mostly about eighter depression, love, or anger. I do not like to stereotype people. But these 'emos' pretty much do it for us. Eighter they plainly say they are 'emo' or something like "I don't like to label myself. But yeah, I'm emo ( ... )
