It's just a style and though I think all of these styles are dorky, its just a style that isn't hurting anyone and honestly as long as they don't bother me then I'm cool with it. And you're friends a retard if he thinks that emo is death metal. I don't like death metal but I still know that its a huge difference from emo.
Agree 100%. I think emo is a silly thing to get into, my motto has always been "depression is not a fucking fassion!", but I consider these kids in to be misguided, not somebody to hate on.


Emo is about skinny boys in tight pants, shitty/whiny punk music, black hair over one eye, poety, I'm proably missing a bunch of things, and generally glorifying mental illnesses that shouldn't be glorified. It irks me to no end that the term is being thrown at legitimate clinical depression and accompanying symptoms, as well as dark themes everywhere. It makes me feel.....


like a black rose
petals withering under crimson sky
blood seeping over agonized thorn
a soul that forever sleeps...


(Shit that stuff is easy)
