Haha, some girl I work with showed this to me on Friday, and I thought it was hilarious, as I see this everytime I go to the mall.

[thaite]

Hell no.

[hooligan]

Hell yes.

[Fireblade]

nope.

[tapestrybabe]

yup.

[s1eve]

nope.

[pablohoney]

I must be old...I don't even know what it means!

[Emperor_Mike]

Absolutely not.

[golden_buns]

Sorta, I just got my pair of geeky square glasses, but unlike the typical EMO I only wear bootcut faded jeans, and instead of converse or vans I wear adidas or puma sneakers. Oh and I also don't ave any deep reads

[Beat180]

LOL that picture alone made me want to go emo and end myself. That aside, no.

[robotic]

if i were you, and you were me, we would play accordians till half past three.

and with a cup of tea we would rejoice, although there's still no sign of that rolls-royce



(because we may be swell, but we still haven't got enough boys.)

I got the black hair...that's about it. Sometimes I wear the vintage t-shirts.

T-shirts you buy from American Eagle Outfitters and Urban outfitters aren't emo!

[Napoleon Chynamite]

Neither is black hair...i'm just sayin' I got at least part of the whole package ^.^

lol. go cry me a river, emo boy. : D

[Napoleon Chynamite]

I also listen to REO Speedwagon and Jimmy Eat World. That's gotta count for something.

[nola]

Those pix ARE depressing!!!!!

[deez nuts]

i have not hear the term emo being used here in ny. emo is or was called village chic here for the longest time.

i'm, not emo. i'm goomba guido.

[nola]

I think it's mainly male musicians who sing about extreme angst, love and heartbreak like Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes and many others.

[nonamerasian]

Yeah. It must be a West Coast thing.

I wasn't sure how "emo" looked until now.

I have the socks, shoes, stripes, and bag, but I don't look that look. I like it and I frequent thrift stores, but never buy anything.

Emo-lite?

[hooligan]

^poseur.

[Tao]

who wants to buy shirts that others have worn before?

[hooligan]

speaking of emo, rise against has a GREAT new album.

[nola]

Secondhand clothes are eco-friendly so emos feel good wearing them.

i thought emo's just cared about looking cool...

[nola]

I think along with looking cool they are so guilt-ridden and angst-ridden they support progressive causes.

[deez nuts]

i saw that some company was selling those old heavy metal concert t-shirts for like $90. shit, i i had tons of those back in the day cuz my mom got them for cheap when we just got off the boat. i didn't even know who the hell those bands were.

and those penguin polo shirts that are so popular nowadays. shit, my mom used to get them at marshalls for like $8-10 when i was in high school cuz we were po. kids used to make fun of me for wearing it cuz they were wearing polo or lacoste. shit even the kids wearing the le tigre polo shirts made fun of me. look who's laughing now, bitches. even back in the day, i was years ahead of the fashion trend and quite the trend setter.

[hooligan]

^lol, things have changed.

[deez nuts]

my nineth grade picture was of me wearing a white penguin polo short with big run dmc plastic glasses and a bowl hair cut. me and the other fob chinese kids back in the day started the emo trend.

[nola]

Oh yeah those penguin shirts.

[deez nuts]

Oh yeah those penguin shirts.

they were popular in taiwan when we were living there. my uncle and his friends wore them. they were on par with the likes of ralph lauren polo over there. more than twenty years later, they're finally popular here in the states.

[nola]

My family wore them too.

They were cool once here too.

I had one of those when I was in elementary school. My aunt sent it from Korea

[Filiprish]

I like some of emo music and haircuts (but I'd never wear them). The rest has got to go.
emo = short for emotional = corny = my opinion

[polos-n-pearls]

nope....Although 1/2 the freshmen at my school are....but like I said I'm not :redface:

[kimpossible]

I think generically it's been referred to as hipster for a while.

[Chad]

Don't confuse emo with hippies or neo-hippies. Emo kids are apolitical and unconcerned. Somewhat of a throwback to the mods but not quite the same thing.. I see them around town riding vespas and snorting coke at parties.
The latest hipster thing here is faux-country style. Long hair & beard for men, black jeans, cowboy boots, sunglasses. Nauseating.

[Specify]

Not emo myself, but a portion of my friends are.

[nola]

Where I come from (JK), no in Tallasassy there was a huge overlap of the indie emo kids and hippies. Hippies has a negative connotation so they're more activists.

[kimpossible]

Every time I read or hear of emo I think of Emo Phillips, as in...

I was walking home one night and a guy hammering on a roof called me a paranoid little weirdo. In Morse Code.

I might have killed this thread with the Emo Phillips reference.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i recently read an article titled.
"I hate Brooklyn!"

[Hiroshi2]

I must be old...I don't even know what it means!





You're not the only one.




Hell I thought it was an animal.

[VV o n g B a]

You're not the only one.




Hell I thought it was an animal.ya, i'd never heard of one. i think i've seen pics of some tho, but didn't know it was a trend.

u just don't see much this in the south.

[kpih]

I guess I am more ewok than emo?

Wait, too cute...

[asvenus]

i thought emo was from sesame street...after looking at the pic...emos are hot!!
maybe without the whole self righteous/emotional crap though....
i love that whole pseudo arty/soft side of indie rock/quirky look..

[deez nuts]

i thought emo was from sesame street...

that's elmo, you dingbat.

[hooligan]

Am I still emo if I love Operation Ivy?

[Dirty Soap]

I saw Hybrid L and Please Don't Die Cindy perform at J Krash last night. It was my first time going to a sports bar and being around EMO peeps.

They were both pretty good bands. So good I thought they might have already been famous and wondered why I didn't have to pay to get in.

But when I think about it, I gave the bouncer a hard look and rushed by him before he could say anything, so that might have something to do with it.
