Emo
-sighs dramatically-
We will always be in the clutches of time
Woe is to betide us
-faints-
-repreive-
Dramatisation:) Its always fun the first time round.
Because,i have made promises to myself that i cannot keep,including the resilence to keep to my deadlines.
Needless to say,i have failed miserably.
Today i would like to take a look at random emo/depressed/cheesy/cliche/suicidal/daft teenagers,who i can see has taken a liking to shiny things.
Recently a favorite topic has been "students cutting themselves"
They also involve students who "regret being so impulsive and stupid"
Do you know what the problem is here?
Thats right,emo is spreading fasting then wildfire or the latest apple i-pod which has gone paper thin.
Now, What exactly is emo?
Emo is a slang term used to describe a range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music and its related scenes. As an adjective, emo can describe a style of fashion or music; or a general state of unhappiness or melancholy (as in "to feel emo"). Emo is also used as a noun, often pejoratively, to identify a member of the "emo scene" or someone viewed as fitting the "emo" stereotype. An emo has stereotypically dyed his or her hair and wears tight pants (boys and girls).
To get a full history look up wikipedia.
A more slangish and definetly more accurate definition would be this
1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he
listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is
sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps
himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about
how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they
start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible
and depressing (lie)
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a
weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick
sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.
When i look at this definition,i see why emo people really get depressed.Ther lifestyle and music totally ruins any chance of normality.
But ofcourse their is also the warped perception means emotional?Where did that come from anyway,isn't a song lined with emotions suppose to be good. Nope Emo is another thing all together.
Anyway the annoying thing,is!
There are two types of people that cut themselves,those who need help but bottle up everything painfully inside and cut themselves slowly and silently.they are really medically depressed,however depression cannot be caught like in fluenza.Then.There are others.Those with their need for self-multilation.And they cut it for the sake of being in a trend OR they pretend to cut so that they can fit in. Ridiculous.
They pretend to hate the limelight,but secretly they all want to be in it,writing melochany songs about how life stinks,how stressful school is,how his/her soulmate has driven off into the sunset with a handsome jock.The worse bit is that they are drawing people's concern on really chemically-inbalanced people who really need help and attention.
Selfish buggers.
Besides you think depressed people write on their blogs at what time they are going to cut themselves and bemoan about their sad sad lives. They do not,absolutely do not falunt the fact that they need medical help.
Now its officially hip to be depressed.
Oh,and theres that silly,tired reason.School sucks.The pressure,the school work.
Listen hard and well. School is an educational foundation.Sure,its tough,it may get hectic from time to time.You may or may not fall in and out of friendships with your freins.But seriously,think,do we not work hard for what we want?
Secondary life is not enough reason to cut pretty patterns on your wrist.Don't start on the "the world hates me" crap,because the truth is you are just shutting away love because its cool.
If you hate school and can't take it anymore.Boo-hoo to you too:) You might as well very leave then and give it to some person in africa who will really appreciate this chance to be in your place.
My friend chloe and i always chat on msn,and believe me,she has her fair share of friends who are emo.She has given them great advice too,but do people listen?
Oh no,they prefer to wallow in their own misery.
There are other ways of destressing,break some cds,write a thousand word essay,shout at your test paper a bit.
You know what emo people need to do?
They can wake up at Septembers end for all i care,but wake up.They need to start living life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their own imaginary quagmire of torment.
In conclusion i would like to say:
Everyone has issues. DEAL.
My life sucks, I want to cry.-cries to a tune of some emo music-
----End transmssion----
