*SIGH* .
Why can't we all just...get along?

Well, this ''Emo'' phenomenon seems nothing more than just a step back in evolution, this trend is noting more than an 80's reoccurance, and quite frankly it's stupid and silly, and this fad is psychotically driven by ''Music'' and the propogation of an ''Emo'' message in the fashion and music industries based on sadness, depression, death and suicide all under the guise of ''Love'' but the ''Emo Kid'' is far from it, hence his malencholy depressed like appearance, it's a cry for something they've lost. Emotions just get in the way.......

i agree with mobius

as much as i dislike this whole trying to be emo bullshit... to beat the crap outta u solely for that reason is even more stupid than what you stand for

emos out there.... learn to love and appreciate life, and be happy

godn damn it! lol

that's machismo for you.

isn't an emo a large flightless bird?

the same thing happened with punks in the 70's, deathrockers and glam posers in the 80's, etc. they are kids being kids. and noone really knows what 'emo' is. most people can't even discern between what is 'emo,' 'indie/metal,' or 'electro-glam.' they are just KIDS.

these people are just annoyed at the sideways fringe haircuts and trendy piercings because they are counter-cultural...and everyone is looking for an excuse to be violent against those who can't protect themselves (mob mentality).

Weird!

wright on, pressrecord. I was thinking the same thing!

The other thing about the situation is that its taking place in Mexico where piercing and other things associated with the emo look is a new phenomenon. In the US and Europe we see a Emo kid and we say, "I remember those days," were in Mexico the whole machismo and gay-fearing mentality kicks in. And in a mob/gang mentality it can spread just as bad as nigger bashing in the south back in the day. It all just adds to tolerance and awareness.

they are just doing what we're all thinking (tongue and cheek you overstimulated people)

but i do hate emo: the music.
and the look.
and the attitude.
and the combination of look and attitude and the music.

all things in moderation, even hate (again with the tongue and cheek).

i eat emo kids for breakfast...bunch a whiny p*****s

I find it deeply disturbing that people are uniting in a witch hunt against the trend of kids that's only harm will be when they grow up and look back at photo's saying "What the hell was I thinking?"

It just goes to show how much further as a species we need to go.

Silently-sarah....

Yes mam, I agree....

rabidlemur, thats an emu.

mobius, well thought out. i may not have thought of that myself, but gee golly i agree with you 110%!

Wow, if only they could use their ability to organize and take a stand on something that matters rather than acting like nazis.

lol, emos

Perhaps they're just receiving some well needed discipline. (lighten up it's a joke)

Pity the poor emo's. I was just in Guadalajara, Jalisco over the Christmas holiday and every time I saw them, they were always hanging out at the big, fancy malls where all the rich, white (of European descent) people shop. I was of course taking public transportation unlike the emos in their brand new cars. I don't condone the violence against the emos but this is more about the poor majority fighting back against the rich minority.

people should be thankful for emos and anyone else who looks/acts different from the norm, they help make our world a beautifully varied place.

Hey morons every generation has to upstage the last one.If it wasn't for the rock n roll generation of the 1950's or the jazz generation of the 1930's imagine how boring this world would be. Just leave the emo's alone because it's not going away.

okay that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Emo is just a fad. It's not fashion, it's not music, and it's definitly not a way of life. No one should be hurt over something as stupid as that.
This is just as stupid as the Matthew Shepard thing. They beat up some poor kid for no reason at all. I hate how people can be cruel to someone just because they are different. Grrr! fighting is stupid and annoying.
