I need help: my friend has gone emo (Page 2 of 3)

I'm glad to hear that Karson! Congratulations!

Ah yes the emo music I happen to like a lot of it actually..... i guess you could say i was an orginal emo kid back in high school.

Lol.

I Like Goths better than Emo's. Dunno why.

I happen to love ONE particular Gothic Band.

Sisters of Mercy.

It does not mean I am, but that's just to let you know.

Emo's have actually stolen a lot of the Goth stuff.

Eyeliner
Black lipstick
black nail varnish
ciggerates ( because they're depressed )
Black, Dark band clothes and jeans, etc........

He is better know, but still pray thanks

I know you'd like to close this...but I thought I'd drop some knowledge about the "Emo" culture

It isn't "cutting yourself" its more a movement, best defined by Wikkipedia as:

"Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music which describes several independent variations of music with common stylistic roots. As such, use of the term has been the subject of much debate. In the mid-1980s, the term emo described a subgenre of hardcore punk which originated in the Washington, D.C. music scene. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the emotional performances of bands in the Washington, D.C. scene and some of the offshoot regional scenes such as Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and later, Moss Icon. (In more recent years, the term "emotive hardcore" entered the lexicon to describe the period.)

Starting in the mid-1990s, the term emo began to refer to the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is the Reason had a more indie rock style of emo, more melodic and less chaotic. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the late 1990s, as many of the bands either disbanded or shifted to mainstream styles. As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the mainstream style. As a result, the term "emo" became a vaguely defined identifier rather than a specific genre of music."

For the sake of clear understanding, please read carefully...misinformation leads to ignorance. Ignorance won't change anything...

Okay, fine..

A healthy dose of DEATH METAL is a good start...
