| <3Romance<3 Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 2306 | I wrote a reaction on that article in Word... Couldn't post it in the board of that paper, cause I had too many characters in my text. Comparing to the artcle, my reaction is rather short. I did go through all of the points that the author went through. When did listening to your so called emo-music become a symbol of self harm? Green Day and My Chemical Romance have confirmed NOT to be emo, but punk or punk rock! Emo also isn’t a sub set of Goth. And talking about the look… People who are Goth only wear black with a pink (the flashy pink, that is) or red tint in it. Fear for school isn’t true either. If you do consider My Chemical Romance as “emo” (which they aren’t!!!), you should also state that front man Gerard Way finished school, so did Bob Bryar and Ray Toro (or he’s very close to). The two other band members, dropped out of college, because they found school had nothing to offer them when they started being in bands. Since when is writing poetry emo? I mean, you could call Shakespeare emo too! About the clothing again: are you serious?? No one wears such clothes, not the “emo’s” I know. And the Vespa, that’s a big slap in the face for all the people who drive these motorcycles, did you know that? Not even start about “the obesity and emo doesn’t go together” - part! Do you happen to have an old picture of Gerard Way or Billie Joe Armstrong? You should know that when they were younger, they weren’t skinny at all... They might be skinny now, but that just has to do with the touring and smoking. The chorus you refer to is made to make fun of emo’s. Making fun of people who are emo doesn’t mean you are one. About the rooms full of posters with Kurt Cobain and/or Marc Bolan: it doesn’t mean that if you stick your room full of posters with these guys that you are going to be a drug addict or someone who is suicidal. Not all so called emo’s have an art bias. Bloody, Dead and Sexy or Colder Than Death are Goth bands that I’ve NEVER heard of. Where do you get your info? Goth and Punk do not have the same family tree. The music Goths listen to is almost the same as metal, so that means that Goth and Metal have the same family tree. Punk music is the younger version of the Hippies from the sixties. They were also against authority, but more with love, peace and understanding. Punk leaves the love, peace and understanding behind and is only against authority. Think about The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, Generation X, The Stooges, The Rolling Stones, Dead Kennedy’s, Stiff Little Fingers and so on. The refusal of opening curtains and “their world is dark and airless” is totally a lie. People who you call emo are realistic, but in the pessimistic way. The atmosphere is rather dark, but I think emo’s are very open-minded people since they are a family of punk music. Self-pity and self dramatisation, so if I have a day that I can’t do a freaking thing right, it immediately makes me an emo? And I who thought that it was humble to say you’re not pretty, not smart etc, even though others say so… And kids who are introspective or introvert, does it mean that they are emo too? Because I don’t know any child who is very social among strangers. Is that being Emo? And which teenager is hormonal in balance? Come on! Every teenager has a day that he or she throws the door into your face, or wants to cry for no reason. That’s being emo too? As long as you don’t get into drug or alcohol addiction, what’s there for parents to worry about? Like every “Punk”, “Goth” or “Emo” is going to show them their wrists before they go to sleep and before they have a seat at breakfast… A cult of suicide. Frank Iero even said about My Chemical Romance: “We’re definitely a band that wants to save your life.” And Mikey Way said that he “wanted to make music that impacted people’s lives”.” And the band’s song named Headfirst For Halos says to “think happy thoughts”. Before a show, Gerard Way even stated about Headfirst For Halos: “This song’s about suicide, don’t do it!” There’s even a piece of a show where Gerard says to the crowd that if they feel down or sad or depressed and suicidal, they should talk to someone cause “pissing away your life on suicide is f*****g bulls**t!” Looking at a lot of blood, doesn’t mean you’re suicidal… If it is, oh my, I’ve been suicidal a lot. Looking at a lot of blood, doesn’t mean you’re suicidal… If it is, oh my, I’ve been suicidal a lot… What you write, is so not true and you should really do your homework better. And if you did your homework, you should know that it’s very rude to say that Green Day and My Chemical Romance are emo-bands, because you didn’t get confirmation that they are. Only when they say they’re emo, you can call them emo! My Chemical Romance would be emo because there’s a lot of blood in their songs. Listen, this is just because the band doesn’t like anything more than watching horror movies which have a lot of blood in it… That’s the reason why they look so spooky and mysterious. But for Green Day… There’s no reason why to even call them emo. Just because Billie, Mike and Tré like to put a line of eyeliner underneath their eyes, doesn’t make them emo. Sid Vicious (of the Sex Pistols) did that too, and he was punk! Next time you write an article about cult figures, make sure you investigate every source you get and don’t rely on the first one you get your eye on. The information you write down here, is like totally a rip off from the internet. What’s your next article going to be? About the fact that people who listen to metal are devil worshippers, that they eat rats and drink little children’s blood? Can’t wait to comment that. A friend of mine commented: "Since when became Green Day and My Chemical Romance emo bands? Really this article scares me... stop labelling people!" => And she's fucking right!  |
