Why do people have so much against emo's??

Yeah, they do. But when they act like this (see my Sources) thats when the mocking begins.\nThat, and the majority of the "emo" crowd has no right to call themselves that. This majority is comprised of angsty teens that go to good schools and live in the suburbs. They just decide to see everything in a bad light, and crumble down when even the slightest problem happens. They then proceed to write horrible poems about it, how their life is all bad, when they have no idea how good they have it.

When will you stupid emo kids stop posting on this site? I can't take it anymore. You all think you're so cool with your self-inflicted wrist cuts, dyed black hair (engineered every morning to look perfectly messy) and girls jeans. Grow the hell up. Stop whining about your meaningless relationships ending with your equally emo girl/boy friends. You have no idea what real problems are. I will stop here, but refer you to one of my past posts on emo:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006051417253

Because you are a TRUE lover of music you can appreciate all types.  People that hate are people that don't understand.  They are so narrow minded and one sided that it's actually sad for them that they can never broaden their horizons and be a true lover of music for a true appreciation of the arts.

People are scared of things they don't understand, and "Hate" is the result.\n\nIf you or something you like is being hated, it is never the fault of the person or thing being hated... it is the fault of the person who is DOING the hating. THEY are uncomfortable.\n\nYou can apply this to anything in your life... music, people, lifestyles etc.

Emo could perhaps be the worst music assaulted on our senses today. The whole point it seems, is to sound as shitty as the previous band. You have to make sure you take 3 stupid words and put them together in a retarded fashion for your band name (note: try words like "november", "blood", "fashion"), Then have some jackass sing all high-pitched about some girl he likes at school, while the bass player tries his best to mimic Norwegian Death Metal all the while sounding like crap. Yes Emo is the new Butt-Rock and in 10 years time, sad looking 30 year-olds with bad haircuts, will be pumping gas in a My Chemical Romance t-shirt.

I know plenty of kids that are concidered emo.. most of them dont cut thats a common misconseption that is promoted by what one might call a poser. Emo 'children' r actualy called Emo Kids.. iuno why but children just isnt right, i guess its partly because they call everyone 'kid'. Emo kids tend to not eat meat weather they are vegan or vegitarian, however most are vegan. Also most emo kids are sXe or Straight Edge.. they listen to music that sounds musical wise like a cross between heavy metal and pop music.. lyrically they have what sounds almost like r&b because it mostly has to do with love, and mostly sad love songs, but always more dark. They're a often picked on but are a really cool group of kids. \n\nThis is all from what i have experienced from my band members because we have what could be classified as emo accordin to me but not them.. they also deny being emo like most emo kids do

HAHAH lol actually emo comes from the term emotional, but it is actually more than that. Emo is the term used for the people who put in their IM names that they will kill themselves, and put pictures in their sites of them cutting themselves and taht sort of thing. Emo people who arent out for attention usually get picked on anyway and its kinda sad. But emo is just attention looking people who do it in the way that they say they are cutting themselves or going to commit suicide.

god. some people are so critical of the idea of "emo".\n\nwhat's so horrible of the idea of being in touch with your feelings?\n\nas for your question: try listening to the band Funeral For A Friend. if you like all those genres, their latest cd, Hours, should be a great match for you.

i am an emo girl and i have lots of emo friends...\n\nfind them at libraries, coffee shops, book stores, art museums and music venues like concerts, music stores etc... bookish and artistic people are moody people-- mostly known as emo people... you'll enjoy hanging around them for they can easily relate to you... some people mistaken bookish and artistic people as nerds... but that's wrong.. not all are nerds... most are emo people. :)

EMo is a style of music as well as person that is generally unhappy and highly emotional.  In general, real emo kids are pretty rare.  Usually an emo kid is self contained and not responsive to outside stimulus unless they believe the ideas are highly beneficial.  Unlike the cretin that answered first, it's not just specific music... it is the people who respond to that music that demonstrate "emo".  For example, you could say the blues is EMO- which it is- but EMO kids don't listen to it, so it's not.

Emo souinds like a bunch of whiny-ass pussies.  Please, next time your girlfriend breaks up with you DON'T pull out the guitar and pore your sad little heart out.  Go kick the shit out of something like a real rocker.\n\nEmo kids: pretentious hipster whiny bitches.

When I was younger I always wanted to be like 'those girls' because I always thought that being "one of them" would make me fit in. Well, time has passed now and do you really know what I think? I could care less if I don't fit in, as long as I'm happy with my style. \n\nRemember that these people don't like you not because of what you're into but because you're unique and maybe that makes them envy you. Hate is such a strong word sometimes...no one can hate you for what you like or look like because, like everyone else, these people can't judge you.\n\nNo one will live your life. It's YOU who's got to live it. So go ahead and do that got/emo/punk thing. Start changing the way you think -- If you're happy then the world's happy.

ONCE AGAIN A VALIENT LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BREAK IT DOWN EMO... short for emotional. who isnt emotional? anyone? thought not.. now if you are talking about they style, thick glasses, long black hair covering one eye, or spiked out in the back and covering one eye. i just think it is dumb and cliche. not gay, i dont think anyone knows what the word gay means now a days... but to these so called sceensters, be yourself... dont be what some genre of music tells you to. everytime i see that it makes me lose hope for mankind... sure they claim to be free thinkers but they are really kidding nobody... go to a bright eyes show. you will only see half the eyes that are supposed to be there...

I like your argument, you're not biased about anything and show both sides.\n\nI agree, and rap/hiphop/r&b is my favorite (usually because it's so much more fun to dance to). I like rock or punk sometimes but I can't listen to anything that's constant screaming. To me, I don't consider it really music. But if that's what you like, then hey, I'm not stopping you.\n\nI guess what I'm trying to say is that people have very different tastes in music sometimes. The world is incredibly diverse, everyone's so different in their own personal ways. This is just one of them.\n\nWhat do they see in this music? Maybe they prefer hardcore, angry music, or maybe it gives them a rush. I don't know, and probably never will. But again, if that's what they prefer than I see nothing wrong with it.
