This guy that just started working here has long black hair, wears girl pants, is really skinny, and is very 'emotional'.  He probably complains and whines more than any girl I've ever dated and he actually has a very good life. I was told he was emo, but I think he's just a very feminine homosexual. Is that what emo is? His music taste is awful as well!

Oh he's emo... The tight ass girly pants, the jet black hair, skinnyness (probably he turned vegan)... And he's PMS'ing. Homoesexuals have better taste in clothes and music than emos. \nProbably he is going to cut himself, and if you hit him at work he might cry in the bathroom. Hopefully he wont come to you because these emo kids does some super homosexual shit by french kissing men-men, women-women. Aint right at all

I just read the lyrics to the Allure song "all cried out". It seems like it is sung in two parts, apparently Allure is a girl, and "112" is a guy. She sings about how she is sad that he left her, and he sings about how he was an idiot for leaving her.\n\nHowever, with a trade name like "112", I imagine its probably some form of rap.\n\nThanks for your question. I hope someone suggests more songs about this. The idea regretting your choice to leave someone, but not being able to do anything about it, is a beautiful opportunity for some really magical music.

A quote by Chelsea on Mar 2, 2005\n\nI found this here http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=emo\n\n"""Emo" is not short for "Emotional." "Emo" does not mean Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, despite what MTV has lead you to believe in the last few years. "Emo" is not sidebangs, tight pants, and male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. "Emo" is not the use of diluted, meaningless metaphors and similes such as "My arms are like pinecones," and most definitely is not the rampant use of words such as "autumn," "heart," "knife," "bleeding," "leaves," and "razorblade."\n\nI just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands."\n\nNow, onto the real definition.\n\nIn the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy.\n\nOften, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well shit, at least it's close.\n\nSince the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, f**, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo."\n\nSomehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap.\n\n\nHope that helps.\nTaking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, and My Chemical Romance falls under the "horrible pop rock" genre, not the emo genre.\n\nRites of Spring is emo.""\n\nEnd Quote\n\n\nHere is another good site.\n\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/emo/origin/main.html

Yeah- this song is about someone who wants his girl to do it his way and that's because he likes things that don't involve girls.  I'm pretty sure it's about wishing he could be into men, but trying to be straight.  The blister is, imho, the problem and its not getting better... therefore in the sun, much like her nether regions.

He doesn't look like a girl. And I'd be weird if I thought he was hot, I just think he's the best musician in the entire modern music scene.\nAnd I envy his hair.

I kinda had to laugh when I saw your question - I definitely know what you mean.  I used to be really into Dave Matthews when I was in college...anyway, I think he is a really bizarre individual - some of what he does is probably just an act...kinda like he's just using the weirdness to keep attention, hold the audience...."wow, he's weird, what's he gonna say next?  that was deep"  Ha.  I also think there's a good chance he has some sort of tic - like with turret's syndrome.  Maybe he used to stutter?  I don't know, but yes, there is definitely something off about the guy.  I always figured that he's gay and is trying too hard to hide it, since his audience is not necessarily so forgiving of this sort of diversity....and I've never seen him or heard about him and a woman.  Just a thought.  :-)

He was not drunk and it was not you...Why did they let Meatloaf kill himself in front of millions of people like that. Boy I laughed!!! I don't know what that was that Meatloaf was doing. I was all over the floor...it was awful and then he tried to harmonize with Kat and it did not work at all. I used to love meatloaf. He should have just stayed where he was all this time because goodness gracious, what was that?? Celine, we're sorry!! Lawd....I don't know what was worse, him or Toni Braxton whinin' up on Taylor in her lingerie instead of singing.....wait..no Meatloaf won.......\nOh I just saw that someone said he had been ill. Okay. I apologise for everything I said. I can understand why he sounded like that. I hope he is doing better.

Okay, here's the thing. Emo is a term short for "Emotional". These kids sit at home crying to themselves, feeling sorry for themselves. They get their little hissy fits out by listening to My Chemical Romance and other such crap. Now, there's alot more music out there which can express how you feel, whether it's positive or not, but it's sure as hell better than listening to "How can this happen to me..." Jesus, how can it happen to me that some idiot actually gave Simple Plan a recording contract?\n\nAnd I've had a hard life. Heavy metal all the way. But I channel my anger, I don't mope. Do you hear kids in Rwanda listening to that sh*t??!!\n\n\nI wish my lawn was emo, then it would cut itself...

from the slang dictionary:\n\nGenre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.\n\n \n\nPunk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.\n\n \n\nAn entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:\n\n1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)\n2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".\n3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)\n4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.\n5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.\n\nThis is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!\n\nWhen she sees how sensitive and emo I have become, she'll definately go out with me!

Some gay men can be very melodramatic!  I worked with one and although I did not care that he was gay, he was the biggest back stabbing, gossipy person I had ever met.  However, my gay friend is nothing like the guy I worked with.  He is loving, smart and funny.  I have yet to meet a lesbian I didn't like.  They tend to be less stressed about things like looks and relationships unlike heterosexual females.

The guy is shlt. Record what he said and done at you secretly and consult to your boss.\nI think he is rude and can't understand his attitude. Please do not think all Japanese are like that. It is not Japanese culture. He is only childish and maybe racist.\nIs he really Japanese? If so, I apologize as Japanese.\nAnyway pls report and consult with your boss.

Well, he was on Oprah and told her that the song was about his ex girlfriend.  That kind of makes me think he has serious stalker potential.  I am not really fond of the song anyway.  It kinda sound whinny to me.  But, I guess that I am in the minority.

I would suggest an open ended question... something that wouldn't appear too invasive.  "Is it something I can help with?" Of course, you have to be wary that this person might be waiting for an invite that way he can pour out all of his emo junk on you and that might not be where you want your limited relationship to go.  Otherwise, I think what you did was okay.  I figure if he wanted help with it, he probably would've gone further with his answer.
