Argh! At first I was quite happy to tolerate people who classify themselves as emo. It's a fad and always has been, but I couldn't help but get angry after a while; they don't even TRY to kill themselves, it's just a desperate attention seeking act. This is my stereotypical view, yes, and I know there are people who are emo and do want to kill themselves and have perhaps tried to do so. But for god's sake, bands like Panic! At the Disco are completely taking advantage of the height of emo-ness with their pointless lyrics. And the fact they say "We don't want to be mainstream and have music videos," I think the quote was... If you don't want a music video, don't bloody make one. If you don't want to be mainstream, don't sign to a record label. If you don't want hundreds of screaming fan girls, don't make music your career path, morons!!
It's the fact that emos' dress the same yet say "We are being different" and the fact that it's just become a mockery that annoys me. I would have taken emos' seriously if it was a small cult. Hell, I'm sure everyone else would have done too. But no! It's a rolling bandwagon that won't stop for a long time, and we have to live with it.
