Note: As I type this, in efforts to make my argument seem more "legitamite" I'll try to cut back on my usually-copious amounts of cursing. Enjoy. (Shit, I cursed in the title. And just now. Shit.)
When the hell did this happen? When did teenagers stop hanging out at the mall and instead start slicing their wrists and whining in online journals? I mean, Christ, you people realize that our generation (as many people on this board are around the age that falls into "this generation") will forever be associated with these depression-addled headcases? Your grandkids will watch some movie and ask if you wore a trenchoat and eyeshadow when you were a kid. You do realize that, right???
When did this shit happen? Culture has seen its share of counter culture, but not counter culture that entails people writing sappy poems and then cutting themselves because they feel bad about themselves. Pop Culture is trying to catch up with them, too. Rock music has almsot completely deteriorated to people whining about being alone or hating their parents or shit like that. Do you not realize the concept of -music-? If I wanted to hear some baseless whining, I'd go through the LiveJournal archives and read the shitty poetry there.
And really, these emo kids have very little to complain about. Teens back in the day complained about stuff. But they wouldn't take it to the point that they wallow in depression. There are countless people on earth who would do anything to be in their positions. These kids are typing up in their online journals through their DSL connections on their personal connections as they sit in their air conditioned house after eating dinner prepared from food in their fridge. And what are they sad about? They're boy/girlfriend dumped them, or worse, they're too much of social slime that they can't get the opposite sex to look at them. And oh God, do the "lonely" emo kids whine. A LOT.
Now, these privileged kids-and yes, most of the time they ARE privileged-always inevitably contemplate suicide. What the fuck? Think about this one for a sec. They want to KILL THEMSELVES. End their LIVES. Let that sink in for a bit and you can realize how fucking moronic this notion really is. Do you have a grasp what your life is? I'm not getting into any theological discussion here because organized religion is bull (another debate for another day) but your life is the ultimate expression of what you can do. You, out of a possible billions of people were born. You get to experience life, as opposed to nothingness. There are very few excuses to justify suicide, and being depressed about that jock who said your eyeshadow made you look like a drag queen is NOT ONE OF THEM. Most of these fucks kill themselves at relatively young ages, too. SHowing that they have no scope of the world WHATSOEVER. 16+ years of your life is not an adequate rubric to measure the rest of the world. You just wasted a possible 60-80 years of life you could have had. 60-80! Jesus!
Anyhow, I'm too tired to think of ways to eloquently express the rest of my argument, so just enjoy it as it is. That was especially long, so here's the annotated version:
Emo Kids are fucking morons.
- 4/1/05 
My hot friend gave me a link to this message board called "Madradhair" and it's basically all emo kids. They're always talking about how horrible twinky kids are and are always ranting about how everyone is a conformist. They said *I* was a conformist (good job overused word) because I don't dye my hair black, have an emo haircut, dress like they do, or listen to the same music they do...
I just thought that was ironic.
I have nothing else to say (...).
On hiatus. Blame holloway.
