i can explain

i put my hands in my pants when i'm horny

to the rest of the questions, here's the nikhil's theory of the emo *trumpet sound*

punk, when it started in '76 (12 years before i was born), the punks were referred to as "those guys with funny outfits and funny hair"

now, the indie culture is basically punk influenced but without the funny outfits and blue/red hair, eg the arctic monkeys, the stone roses, azure ray, beck, babyshambles (that lucky **** who's dating kate moss), black eyes, bloc party, and LOTS MORE

the emos on the other hand (scientific name : slit-wristus-for-attention-sake-us) scale down the heaviness in the music and concentrate on the make-up and sodomy

yes, most emos are ***, and no, i'm not a homophobe

now, emo's suck, we all know that, but those stupid ****s actually took the video awards away from red hot chili peppers (who weren't nominated) and shakira (whose video directs my hand into my pants)

some emo bands are - panic! at the disco, my chemical romance, the used (they were hoping they'd get confused with "the cure"), AFI and other fruity bands

and contrary to the "contrary to popular beliefs" bit spread all over the internet, emo IS going to kill punk, because, most teens confuse punk with emo, and emo's going ****ING huge scale now... its only a matter of time now... punk's wasn't dead... its going to be... hence, we have to start something in this beautiful emo-free country of ours...

peas!

I can see why some of the emo crowd get uptight.

I'll give him a week before he's either banned, or educated.












And no...I'm not an emo.

For those of you who don't know what emo is, it's a type of punk-music that comes from the word "emotional", basically it's young white guys whining about how their life sucks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this to hurt emos, I don't really mind them. An AFI show's like swimming in the Emo Ocean. They are known to dress really weird, their haircut is especially unusual, the write poems about the dead bird the saw on the street and they draw fake cuts on their wrists... popular bands like Green Day and Simple Plan are not that emo, but they do have emo tendacies... very fun people indeed.

and p!atd is an emo band, here's the proof :
