That would be the perfect example of the bitter and resentful soul I talked about in my first post. Tragic really.

Something that is very secret and closed, and nobody really knows what's going on, and it's a bit scary because loads of people take it all incredibly seriously, and these are normal, smart people, and the effects of the cult turn them into crazy people.

That's pretty much what happens when anyone mentions emo.

Emo’s not a cult no body knows what’s going on because they say their emo cus that’s the cool thing to do and they don’t take the time to figure out what emo is besides a cool word short for emotional and every day we have more of these retards running around wearing gc shirt saying hey I’m emo than the majority of the world sees those kind of people and thinks that is what emo when it’s not even close and they start frowning upon it because those kind of kids that they see are completely ignorant to what emo really is and you couldn’t hold a 10min conversation with them about it

Than you have the real “emo” people who absolutely love music and know what’s going on and they get filed under the some genre as the people wearing the gc shirts so when they get mad their just sticking up for what they believe in, in some way trying to save what is left of emo the same thing happens in all of the scenes punk, political punk, hard core, metal, ect…. So its not fair to say that emo is a cult. if you actually believe that emo is a cult though then you must think of every other music genre as a separate cult witch I don’t think is true at all

Why do you care so much? That's the thing that amazes me. Why does it matter that someone is wearing a Good Charlotte t-shirt and saying they are emo? What grief can this possibly cause in your life? What is so special about being a "real emo person"? What are you sticking up for? What does "what is left of emo" actually mean?

Your entire above post has completely vindicated my assertion that certain people wish for emo to be a cult, a secret society where only a select few know the "truth", and one where they can use this "truth" as an excuse to talk down on other people just because they might not own a Sunny Day Real Estate record. Which I do, by the way.
