Emo isn't the new trend. Pop imitating emo is the new trend. See Story of the Year, Taking Back Sunday, Alkaline Trio, etc. Then again I don't hate those bands, its mostly the kids that want to feel like they belong to some genre even though they have no clue what emo really is. You can thank corporate record companies that just want to sell a couple more records, and the ignorant critics who want to look more important for this emo fad.

The problem with kids these days is you go out of town for the weekend and you happen to pop on the comp and see some effing retard named eru. Sorry i dont have time to delete his posts, but ill work on it when i get back.

I like the sarcasm.

Anyhow, . . . . .
Oh crudamucker somebody give me a damned nuttter butter. i haven't had one in two days and I think I'm seeing spots.

So at any rate, I think that a new trend is set every day. About a year ago a trend was to wear safety pins in your ears which I still do from time to time. And i never did it because I liked goth music so much or anything. I just thought it looked cool.
And the whole black clothes all the time is not a must. It's a goth thing I know but i know plenty of people who don't wear all black clothes and consider themselves goth just because they listen to the music as much as the next person.
And it is not necessarily punk to have piercings covering more than half your body and in places that I don't wanna know about.
So why don't all of yous just hold hands, sing kumbayah and get over it. Be appreciative of the fact that you have ears and no what good music sounds like.
And the problem with kids today is that so easily succumb to peer pressure. I know that may seem like a foreign word in a thread like this but it's true.
Yous are all so quick to change your ways and style because your best friend says that all black is in. But then the next day it's tye dye shirts. Get a life, get over all of these crazy fads and just enjoy the futhermucking bizacci music.

And in all honesty I don't give two nutter butters for all of this stereotypical stuff. It's pointless. Through most of what I've said, I've been trying to say that it doesn't matter what you wear or how you wear your hair. What it all boils down to is that the music will still be at your dispsoal whether you meet the stereotypical criteria to listen to it. I mean relaly. It's not like if you don't waer all black the music will just disappear. Yous are all smoking.

Man that was cheesy and off topic. (I want my fothermucking bizacci sugar. Confizzled you are I know. But that's ok cause i'm all ceecee-dizzled out. I'm on the fritz and I'm holding on to the edge of my life with a single starburst and the PS2 I built all by myself with some help from my friend)


Peace out
Gone for sugar but will be back in 2.

because if more people were like you, you would have to go spend a few more hours at good will trying to be more individual because more and more people are starting to be like you.........than you would have to come home and go on the net and complain that everyone is conforming to your stile, your hole post was pretty much about you not about kids and how they dress...all i herd through your hole post was blah blah im individual blah blah no one is like me blah blah more people should be like me

i like the original post (whoever wrote it) saying that not conforming is conforming. i think i said something along those lines in another post somewhere.
i think people have this unintentional fixation with labels. i think it is just as common with adults as it is teens or children. most of the people on this site are still in high school, so there's yer typical clique-label crap that everybody goes through. In the workplace however, there are just as many useless labels. People are constantly conforming to their political (or nonpolitical) affiliations, religion, social standing and etiquette, gender, race, etc. etc.
in general, i think people should not concern greatly over what they or someone else is wearing. it seems really trivial once you get outta high school, where image is force-fed to the impressionable. let people do what they want. and you do what you want. because in the end, no fashion is original or creative. No label is withstanding...
If you talk to an intelligent person, they will not care what you are wearing. At least, i hope not...

every one i guilty of conforming even if you wont admit it from when you get dressed to what you stand for and how you act you cant get around it it's human nature to want to belong for example i bet you listen to the music your friends do

and if not conforming is conforming please tell me how do i go about being original

well is anything original?
and what is wrong with conforming, if everyone is guilty of it?

I think conforming is just human nature, it's only something to be ashamed of if you deliberately try to be like someone else or a certain stereotype.. But then again I don't know anything, so I may aswell have just kept quiet in this thread from the beginning :) Nevermind...

Ah, conforming. Like the dreaded emo debate, it'll never go away.

The way I see it: Do whatever makes you happy. If that means dressing in the same clothes as your friends and listening to the same records then do it, if it means making sure every band you like is someone that nobody you know has heard of, then do that. If it makes you happy, then get on with it. If something doesn't make you happy, then don't do it.

^ i agree with franscar and artistintheambulance. i guess sometimes the obvious just isnt so obvious to everyone. ;)
