um.. what's an emo kid?

thatdarngirl Oct 1, 2002

Emo stands for Emotional music. However, like so many other different music styles, it isn't what it used to be. It's now just a name whiney boys who can make a sound or two on their guitar and t...

Like what Country music used to be?????

I suppose so. Oh, and I only described Emo music. Emo kids are a totally different breed. They're Rivers Cuomo Glasses wearing, tight jean, turtle neck sweater boys with hair in their eyes that can't get a girlfriend and cry about it. Sometimes they're so cute though, yeah.

No wonder they can't get a girlfriend, if they dress and wear their hair like a gay boy!

Actually..the sweaters are super cute..especially the whole collared shirt with a sweater vest thing. And the hair into the eyes is sometimes pretty cute too. You should check out Seventeen magazine..they had a whole page layout on how to look 'emo'. It was pretty funny, and the model was hot.

malibu malibuOG 2001

no the whole "i don't care how i look" and "i'm into the environment" attitude makes them cool. emo guys are cool.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

When the comment about turtle necks and hair in the eyes was made, I pictured some gay kid...

sux2beme sux2bemeOG 2002

don't you mean: The Beach Boys ??? and what about: The Righteous Brothers ??? I guess emo's been around awhile.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Nah... the Beach Boys has these great button down striped shirts in the early days and hair neat and parted on the side... then they had the hippie look.. but the Righteous Brothers DID look gay anyway...

wow! perfect explanation! some of the old "emo" is pretty good. I like the promise ring. saves the day and weezer has also been classified by some as "emo" and they're okay. i like weezer alot more than saves the day though

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

In the words of Rivers- "We're not really Emo we're more elmo. Yeah..we're elmo rock." Weezer is 'emo' because of the emotion it contains in their songs, which would make sense if emo actually meant emotional. It really doesn't anymore..it's more like over-emotional-whiney-babies.
