Anti-Emo?

http://emosexualesenaccion.blogspot.com/
This is a homegrown group in Mexico supporting the bashing of children, calling them all homosexual. Even if they were all homosexual it still wouldn't be right. In the chat bar people are supporting the movement, wanting it to come to America.

Mexico city broke out with a subculture war, trying to emphasize that emo kids are gay. Not all emo kids are gay. How stupid. Some are, some aren't. And some are too young to even be pulled into this random violence!

http://www.time.com/time/arts/articl...725839,00.html

These sub-cultures bashing emo's are just wrong, considering the heart of their movements are usually (supposedly) social justice, not social incompetence.
So one of your rockabilly buddies accidently got turned on by a little 14 year old emo boy at a high school party one night? Give it a rest. Stupid.

Depression is a trap that is hard to get out of. Once you become depressed, irrationality usually follows, which sometimes makes you want to be depressed and the cycle continues.

Emo culture definitely has something to do with suburban culture though. I have never once seen a country or urban emo. Suicide rates support that claim.

lol!! Of course you've seen Urban emo kids. Skateboards and bangs bound to fall into their eyes while skating.... Oh they are cute! Reminds me of my husband when he was a kid. Giving the city streets hell and raising a fist at no loitering and no skateboarding signs.
They come from all backgrounds. Old skateboarders, "new wavers", and "half assed goths", are your generation's emo. I may be old, but lots of the subculture kids talk to me still, and as in my youth, you all have the same music collection at home whether you admit it or not. Haven't met one punk that didn't actually have their hidden Morrissey collection. Or rockabilly for that matter....
That is why the barbs betwixt those crowds were always in jest and a bit of a joke in the past. Emo's have punk and rockabilly collections..Punks have emo and rockabilly collections. Rockabilly's have emo and punk collections. That's why their very public insult trading has always been a bit of a joke.
They always share the same venues for that reason. One night:screamo band. Next night: grind core. Night after that: indie rock band....Next night: Industrial band.....
All in the same mixed bag.....
Depression effects lots of teenagers. Emo kids do not have the monopoly on it, they just look like it.
Of the people I know that actually committed suicide, not one of them were heavily involved in a subculture at all, quite frankly. Most of them that died, did so in college, or sometime in their 30's, and were more scholars than identifiably branded in a pop subculture.
(Aside from my friend that was a renaissance festival guy)

I could care less about emo-hating. I DO care about gay-hating. And depression.

as a subculture, emos have better hair than most.
