Emo kids need to wake the fuck up
Ok, so Emo kids are an easy target. But I don’t hate them because they cry themselves to sleep, write poetry, look like this or make out with members of their own sex*.
I hate them because they are clueless, vapid, impressionable idiots who pretend they are the exact opposite.
Case in point – the infamous “emo” glasses
Ever talked to someone wearing these who wasn’t a condescending, naïve, pseudo-intellect?
I went to the Taste of Chaos tour concert last night. The bands were predictably average (only band that didn’t suck happened to be the only non emo band – Killswitch Engage) but the best part of the show was definitely watching all the little 14-18 year old emo kids acting emo.
Their main goal in life is to express how different and special they are to the rest of the world – and seeing them all together brought an ironic grin to my face. It must be shattering to their little emotional hearts that they are no different than the rest of the thousands of kids there, who are now faced with the realization that they aren’t the only one who stole their personalities from a “Get up kids” CD cover. Don’t worry though, they are all just posers, and you are truly a tortured unique soul.
But I can get over their looks, I too have fallen victim to conformity in high school. It’s their attitude which is more disturbing.
The whole “tortured soul” thing is truly pathetic. The best part is the emo bands capitalize on their emotions. At one point “My Chemical Romance” was up on stage yelling out clichéd slogans such as “you cannot destroy me” and “if you disagree with what I’m saying then fuck you!” and the kids were just eating it up.
Emo kids – you aren’t tortured. Look where the fuck you are! Your parents drove you downtown for the show, paid for your tickets, clothing, emo accessories and gave you spending money. You are living in London, Ontario for fucks sakes, what are you crying about really? If you lost your boyfriend/girlfriend, go get a new one. If you couldn’t get that job, or you failed a test, try harder next time. How about if you woke up tomorrow without running water, clothing, fly repellant and AIDS infested? Everyone has problems to deal with, you are not a special or unique snow-flake.

*(Despite what you may think, I’m all for these sensitive tortured souls entering the realms of homosexuality. After all there will be less of their strand a generation from now).
