anybody else sick of "emo" like I am?

Question

I know a few "emo" people and they drive me INSANE with their "doom and gloom" and "I'm too far to be saved", and "I want to kill myself" crap. I'm sick of listening to them complain about how dark the world is when they're all havin' pretty good lives, and when they complain about how sad they are when there's nothing to be sad about! I try to be a good friend to them, but I can't help them if they're cutting themselves and won't listen to any optimistic reasoning!! They're closthes are pretty kool though. Some people say it's a lifestyle. It's not a lifestyle! It's stupid!!!! I am aware that some of them really are depressed, i'm not sick of them, i'm sick of the ones who MAKE themselves depressed so they can be "emo" too!! Everybody has the option to be happy, it's not like they were FORCED into misery like they put it. Why do they choose to live like that anyway? Do you agree with it? Why or why not?

I never said that i hated the ones that truly were depressed.

I apologize for if I offended you.

Answer 1

yeah...

Answer 2

I thought emo was dead? They all turned "scene". Which I suppose is better then emo. But yes I agree with you. I admit to being a little over dramatic in the past, but I mean come on! Every tween is over dramatic from time to time. I grew out of it though. As for emo kids, they just never grow out of it and take the drama and attention seeking to adolescence. Of course not all emo kids. I knew a few self proclaimed emo kids who had normal emotions. They just dressed in emo garb. Which is fine. Just don't wine and complain all the time. At first people feel bad for them. Which is what they want. Then people get annoyed and stop talking to them. Then they have no friends. So now there going around to random people telling them "I have no friends. I'm so sad. I'm gonna cut myself. wahwahwahwah". Then those people feel bad for them. IT'S A VICIOUS CYCLE OF EMO KIDS!

So to answer your questions in short---
Why do they choose to live like that anyway? For attention, or they'll play the "I'm so ugly" card just to get compliments like "No your not! you're so pretty"
Do you agree with it? No.
Why or why not? It's annoying. Plus you can't tell if they really need help with depression or if they're just being emo.
Wow this is long...

Answer 3

YAH I KNOW!!!
they don't have 2 be emo
they always say well their life sucks
it doesn't though
they have a good life they just don't do the right choices
they get into drugs and hang out with the wrong people
they stay away fromm family and their old friends
they start failing school
then they try to get themselves sad
and then they think cutting themselves is going to make everything better.
but cutting urself won't make the pain go away. just becus u start having pain in different spots doesn't make the pain from ur life go away.
they need 2 cheer up and try 2 do something with their life
cus if they don't they are going to kill themselves.
which is very stuipid.
and then they are going to go to hell
when all of this could of been avoided.

though some of them r different but stereotype just makes it seem like they r horrible but they arent

Answer 4

Teenagers go through phases of trying to find themselves and discovering who they really are, so they try different labels sometimes. Try to be more understanding, especially when they obviously don't look like they're enjoying it.
Generalizing like that is inaccurate, because every person is different, and there could be many different reasons as to why they changed themselves that way

It could be actual clinical depression, a need to fit in, trying to find out who they are, fitting into a common stereotype, or just wanting attention.


If it really bothers you that much, then I suggest you don't hang out with them. You say they have a choice, but so do you. There's lots of people out there with much weirder motives to act the way they do, but that doesn't mean you're forced into being their friend.

Answer 5

I dislike "emos'" alot they are so stupid!!!!!!!! I'm sorry but Im really anti-emo I knew this one girl that I used to hang out with alot. We two were pretty great friends then one day she took that stupid FIND OUT IF YOUR A EMO test. Then one day I went over to her house and she just came out of the room saying " I'M EMO" she already had cuts on her and she said well I better get back to my room and think about this stupid dark cruel cold world. Shes a freaking idiot.

Answer 6

The whole concept of emo is annoying! They are a bunch of spoiled brats that want attection cuz mommy and daddy didn't give them what they want at that moment so they run off and cut themselves. And cry about everything. They just need to grow up.

Answer 7

yeah, I am soooooo sick of them. They walk around like OH WOE IS ME! But they are the ones causing there own misery. It is like they are trying to gain attention! Plus they like, hate the world, and each day is a gift from god that shouldn't be taken advantage of. Emo's think there life is soooooo hard but, they are making it hard. They look like they just got out of juvi too, and some of them did. HELLO! there are other colors besides black! emo's no one but YOU is making your life bad. So go buy a bright colored shirt and walk into the sunshine!

-no offense to any emo's this is just my own oppinion-

Answer 8

It really is a phase they will get out of. Some enjoy acting like that and some really are. those are the ones who need counseling and antidepressants. They will look back and realize how silly they were. If they bug you, you should hang out with different people. I stopped hanging out with a person because all he did was whine about how he couldn't get a girl to like him and it was all "woe is me" ****. No one wants to listen to that all the time. Let them be with each other until they get sick of being fake.

Answer 9

Wtf. Are you serious. Santino/Santina is probably the only reason I still wtch WWE. Without the Rock famous, drive up jabronidrive, chech into the Smackdown hotel thing nothing else makes me laugh. Santino is really a good comedian. He sells it very well. I like it. It makes me laugh once in a while WWE is missing one of the key things it missed from the Attitude Era and that was its comedy,. Santina provides a lot of that.

Answer 10
