Why no child is safe from the sinister cult of emo

BAHAHAHAHAHA I don't even know how to react. It's horrible that this little girl hanged herself, but was this article really published?
 
closing line:

Naive, misguided or just plain stupid.

But then, that's always been the trouble with some teenagers. And the danger of emo.

this article makes it sound like British kids are taking the emo thing waaay too far.
 
"omg my mom wont let me sleep over at my friends house im gonna kill myself". i hate emos. how is that even close to a reason to kill yourself.
 
wow, stupid fucking media bullshit, these little posers are retarded

What Emo Is And Some History.

Emo is short for emotive hardcore. It's a DIY music style (not a shitty

fashion) that started in the 80's. Emo follows (but is not restricted

to) the lines of hardcore. Hardcore is a subgenre of punk, therefore,

so is emo. The first emo band is often credited to Rites Of Spring.

They played with hardcore punk rock energy (as the members were

previously involved with hardcore bands) and lots of emotion through

their performance and with their audience. Their lyrics seem to have

important views about life and a sense of deepness.

"Emo" As A Term.

The term "emo" was generated as an insult to people in the hardcore

scene that liked these bands. An emo band's performance on stage (can

include crying/moaning/etc. their lyrics and various other events)

probably made them look "weaker" to the hardcore kids, which is (why I

think) "emo" was directed as an insult.

What Screamo is.

Screamo has evolved from emo. This music style invloves more screaming

and often has more melodic breakdowns. Screamo is still emo, therefore

follows its guidelines.

What Emo Is Not.

Emo is not short for emotional. Emo is not a fashion. Emo is not

"XxXxXxXOMMMFFGZZZZ IM LYKE, SO DEPRESSED!XxXxX!!!1!!111 IM GONNA SLIT

MY WRISTZZZZZZZ...LOL..XxXxX xX" Emo was not mainstream (because it was

DIY). Emo has nothing to do with being depressed, shitty metaphors, or

suicide. Emo is not whiney, bullshit music sung by pubescent males that

haven't dropped their balls yet.
