Why are emos hated?

[trophykiller]

because they whine even though they have good lives with relatively very little wrong. they should be greatful that their parents don't kill them for that behavior, mine would(you grew up in suburban america, quit complaining. i've seen kids with terminal illnesses who do less complaining.)

 

[Cid Silverwing]

The reason I hate them is they pollute social networks with their shitty attire, hairstyles and also corrupt music with their influence.

Well it depends... Some emos just follow the fad for attention and to be "different". They're the ones who pretend to be super depressed and cut themselves. The cool Emo's are those who have cool hari and listen to Emo Rock :3

The first ones I mention are the ones that are hated. The others are cool and I don;t want a bad word to be said about them!

Anyone who can't tell the difference between the two and lumps the two together are clearly ignorant. I've met plenty of posers and they're all boring as fuck. The real emos I've met have all been very entertaining.

 

[kickyourass]

Because thay're whiny little fuck buckets who whine just for the sake of whining.

 

[Bruin]

Because without being hated.. emos wouldnt have anything to feel sad about and thus would not exist?

Sorry, have no sympathy for "baby goths"

I actually liked Goths.

I knew a girl who wore fishnets and black skirts with a corset to school every day. Or some variation of that. She was also one of the nicest people I knew at the time, and her philosophy was that everybody acts and looks the same (in my school, it was spot on), and so as not to be confused with them she wore black.

Sort of like Woman of the Wall, if there ever was one. A Night's Watchwoman.

If anybody gets that reference, you will receive a cookie from George's beard.

But these emo shitheads piss me off. Majority of them have nothing to be angry about and those who do take the coward's route out and cut themselves up.

So, why I don't like emos: Cowardice, unoriginality, faking emotional distress and not knowing when to grow the fuck up.

I'm an emo myself, and I can tell you, we're not depressed because people treat us like shit, we're depressed because of things that happened in our life, and judgemental faggots, seem to like making it worse.. - Well that's the reason of what most people think is emo.. Though emo actually means someone who listens to emo music and dresses black.. So anyone who judges us is just an ignorant idiot

 

[Danzaivar]

...why do we hate those who choose to wear black and dispise the conformus. They are probably the most hated social group...

Because they think they are the most hate social group (That belongs to the jock, let's face it). They also think despising consensus makes them unique, lots of geeks do that.

You sound like an emo yourself. Do we need to fetch a priest and a flamethrower to commit cleansing?

 

[Snake Plissken]

I think what bothers me most about it is that I remember life prior to the trend, and I remember the rise of the trend, and I see it now. It has failed to remain consistent throughout time. I remember when decent emo bands existed, like Rites of Spring and Texas is the Reason. They really weren't anything more than even more dissonant punk rock. The rise of Sunny Day Real Estate in the mid-nineties changed it up a little bit, but it wasn't quite a subculture (let alone even a word). For some reason it exploded and the formal definition of the word changed to describe irritating, whiny music. I don't even like the fact that emo became a word that permeated the mainstream. I don't think people even know the beginnings of the subculture and just prattle on about "emos" as if they knew anything about it as a subculture now. I personally just hate the fact the current "emos" basically stole the only decent genre other than punk rock to appear on Dischord records in the mid- to late-80's and replaced it with garbage.

 

[Sanguinius- The Angel]

Because they're little douches who thinks that they're life is so bad and everyone has to know about it.

Either way you want to spin it, you're overreacting to hardships other people have faced and overcame previously, as well as complaining about it. I don't know about you, but when I'm down and at my weakest the last thing I want is to publicize it with my ass-for-hair and man-makeup.

You say "Don't judge me!" but at the same time judge everybody else.

In other words, look the part and act the part.

But that's just it--it's all an act. If you have to give yourself a label and put yourself in a social group the chances that you're actually depressed and "emo"tional are quite slim.

That's retarded logic.

 

[Odoylerules360]

Because they're annoying.

 

[Crystalite]

What would actually interest me more:
Why do people hate those that cut themselves?

Isn´t that like hating people who are anorexic? Or alcoholics?
Self-destructive behaviour is something a lot of us do, but in these severe cases it is a mental illness, and a pretty gruesome one at that.
Sure, whining is annoying, but cutting oneself is a real sickness!

It always makes me mad when people make fun of illness or disability.
Try replacing "cuts himself" with "gets drunk every day" and see if it is still funny.

 

[cocoadog]

I have nothing against "emo" people, I have something against people that wear the same article of black clothing everyday and refuse to bathe. Also labels are for pretentious bastards who judge people, and soup cans.

 

[PrimoThePro]

dispise the conformus.

The hypocrites conform by hating conformity.
And they hate everyone else. They hate you, they hate me, just because we are our own person. The fact that I choose to live the way I do makes them hate me.

I've known people from all three of those groups: Cutters, anorexics and alcoholics.

Cutting is different than anorexia. It's done for different purposes; their goals are different.

Cutting is different from alcoholism. Again, done for different purposes and alcoholism is an addiction.

Cutting is a bad fad, done for attention and those who seriously try to kill themselves are either bonkers or cowards.

It's not a real sickness. It's a sickness you create when you want to whore your body out for attention and when you almost intentionally let emotions get the entirety of you. That's why you don't see many adults cutting themselves.

Please NEVER equate emos with Goths.

Us Goths have enough to be depressed about without having to listen to those brats.

"Oh, my daddy didn't buy me the car I wanted so I'm going to cry."

Please

Don't waste good suffering.

What we need is old style Goths...

That's right, kicking Roman ass since 410.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I don't really hate them, I just hate attention seekers.

Nailed it.

Attention through image rather than something of substance too...extra distasteful.

Hating people is recreation.

Very well put there.

I suppose some of them at least make the effort to write hate poems. That must count for something.

Eh...I don't know really.

I just don't think there is anything subversive about following that(or any)particular fashion. It's still just image obsession...which is exactly what the rest of mainstream culture is like.

It's just a different coloured pill, with the same effects...and the same shitty aftertaste.

Subversive is wearing your clothes til they fall apart, or wearing your bath-robe to the shops because it's comfortable. Just not giving a shit about how you look in a culture that is so sickeningly obsessed with image.

Develop yourself, not your appearance.

Edit for clarification(again...):

There is great hypocrisy within the culture, and that is part of why some dislike it...the point of my post that I failed to sum up.

Ok...
No, you do not know cutters if those you know do it for attention.
Yes, there are quite a lot of adults who do it. Maybe they are not as eager to shove it in your face.
Of course the sicknesses are different, and done for different "reasons".
Point is, if you are addicted to something, physically, or in this case, mentally, this constitutes a sickness. And yes, pain can be an addiction, a very powerfull one at that.

You do not see adults cut themselves, because if they do, they hide it.
That is not attention seeking then, is it.
And it has absolutely nothing to do with beeing suicidal, it is in fact the opposite in some sense. The crux is that you do it to live.

Do not go to teenagers for experience with these things, I would say...
