Please, I beg of you! Don't believe that EMO is just an innocent little thing to dabble in. Some things that look innocent at the beginning often lead to a terribly sinister end.

Before you let EMO fool you into thinking it is benign, consider that you are only one letter away from becoming this:

AAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!

Emo isn't an abbreviation, it stands for "emotional." As in "emotional rock." As far as the "emo" lifestyle, I think I can sum it up pretty well.

You may be an emo kid if you:
-Shop at thrift stores, but act like you have just owned old clothes forever.
-Wear sweaters, collared shirts and girls' jeans.
-Go to tons of rock shows with local bands, and claim music is your life, whether you play an instrument or not.
-Whine about the government.
-Whine about everything, as long as we're on the subject.
-Decide that, no matter what band it is, their first album was better.
-Get a Myspace and under "music" list a hundred bands with names like "A Burning November XxXMemoryXxX Is." (A note on this: the more obscure the bands, the cooler you really are)

As far as drugs are concerned, it really doesn't seem like the emo crowd even does as much as the average for their age group. Yes, some of them do, but not necessarily more than average.

The Emo lifestyle is one that's really fun to poke fun at. It's not that it's just terribly retarded or anything, but it makes me laugh to watch all these kids walking around with girl jeans, scarves, and thrift store sport jackets and giving off the impression of "I'm mad at the world...SO I'M GONNA CRY ABOUT IT THROUGH THE MUSIC I PLAY AND LISTEN TO." I'm not saying that their is anything wrong with that at all (I actually like the music myself), just that it seems a bit comical.
