I Hate The Word Emo

yes, you heard me. I hate the word "emo".

Actually, I cant say I hate the word. Words cannot be hated. Rather, I hate the Way the Word is being used.

The word emo originates from the word Emotional. And it is an irony to see that the two emo-looking re***ds are hugging each other and looking at the camera, looking perfectly cool. there are two possible reasons: Their high school English teacher did a terrible job and should be fired immediately, or they just follow the "emo" fashion even though it is contradictory to the root word itself.

I hope you can see where I'm going here. How do you expect me to acknowledge a fashion trend, when it contradicts itself? For example, say the word "Gothic" and I will think "Evanescence". Say "metal" I will will think of a old Harley-Davidson-Motorcycle-Man. Say "Groovy" and I will think of some Disney teenage star. Say "emo" however, and I will think of a sad, sad child, but I will later stare at my laptop in puzzlement as I see a Google image of Adam Lambert looking like a Black-make-up clown, SMILING at me. This is TANTAMOUNT(;]) to the guy in the first picture, smiling like today was his best day ever, and ironically the words on his arm read : "For sorrow i cry".

However, it must be admitted that some people look quite cool in this type of dressing. However that does not mean I do not think "Please find a proper name for your fashion sense or I may get into trouble for laughing at a person who thinks he looks really 'emo' in Orchard Road" because that is my true feelings about this matter: the fact is that the "emo" fashion trend is a big joke.

Some people might say that people like to be emo because they want pity and attention even though (ironically) on the outside they put on a face of melancholy and say " I don't care about anything anymore". This, I feel, is ridiculously stupid. If you are truly sad, I will not pity you if you further wallow yourself in pity and it is obvious that you crave attention. I only pity those who grieve silently but still try to cheer themselves up and not wallow in self-despair. These people are the smart ones, whom I truly appreciate. But I am digressing here. Moving on...

Actually this was supposed to be a Facebook post, but I reckoned it was too long to be posted on facebook. I was right. Anyways, please leave your important comments below. i really appreciate a good argument:)
