Wow...
I thought it was about music, clothing, and melancholy, not about cutting ones self.
I'm thinking people who cut themselves will do so no matter what kind of music they listen to and no matter what color their clothes are.
Does it surprise you that people who are miserable enough to attempt suicide or do intentional damage to themselves would be into sad music?

Emos cut themselves for basically the same reason as very pious preists wear (or wore, I don't know if people do this anymore) hair shirts, which are VERY uncomfortable, and often flea-infested. It's a sort of freedom from the physical form. The idea is that when the body is in pain, the spirit is not as tied to it - send the soul to heaven by giving the body hell.

A lot of kids at my school are emo too. I also find it weird. Do they get joy out of cutting themselves? And the funny thing is...emo's all hang out together and wear black. Maybe they're suffering from depression.

I was a cutter and never emo. I think many kids don't cut themselves because of actual pain though, I think its often believe it or not to fit in. I personally did it because I was depressed, and it got me attention. All my friends would rally around me and try to help me the more I did it.

Not all emo kids cut themselves. That is something some people do when they feel they can’t control anything else in their lives. Emo doesn’t prompt things like that.

I think emo. is definitely immature. If half these kids got to see the rest of the world, I think they'd be a little less emotional and a little more focused.

Not all emo people cut themselves. I think you should be a little more open minded to peoples style of life.

So much pressures these days. Basically, you could try being their friend and lending a ear.
Too much crap in this world without teens getting this way.
Peace.
