Inner Party System, Save the Music World with their chocolate single!
This is the story of how Inner Party System saved the music world:
In 1970 "antisocial" stereo was born with the introduction of Quadraphonic Sound. Only one lucky listener could hear the stereo properly if they sat in the correct "sweet spot". This resulted in the alienation of friends and families by stereophiles.
In 1979 Sony continued the antisocial stereo movement with the Walkman.
And alas, in 2001 Apple launched it's mission to place IPODs in the ears of every single man, woman, and child on the planet.
But now Inner Party System has made listening to music SOCIAL AGAIN. 100 lucky listeners in the UK can buy their latest single" Don't Stop", play it on a turn table (wicky wicky wicky), and afterwards split it into tiny pieces and eat it with their friends because it's milk chocolate. Witness the first bite here. A historic moment indeed.

Bebo blamed for Emo's death
Social networking website Bebo has been blamed for a 13-year-old boy's suicide. Sam Leeson, a 13 year old student from Tredworth, Gloucestershire, hanged himself in his bedroom apparently after suffering months of bullying online.
Sam's mother Sally Cope, 45, said the family only learnt of the cyberbullying when they checked his Bebo page after his death.

Emo against the Daily Mail
There are few things that would drag a typical teenager out of bed early on a Saturday morning, but defending the honour of a beloved band from tabloid attacks is probably one of them.
Around 100 My Chemical Romance fans had already gathered at Marble Arch, in central London, by 10.30 this morning - not bad given that organisers had given the protest a 12-hour window, of 10am to 10pm, and that there was a last minute change of venue.

Angry emos to picket newspaper
Hundreds of very unhappy (even more than usual) black-clad emos are set to march on the notoriously right-wing Daily Mail's headquarters in London to protest against the newspaper's coverage of My Chemical Romance and its fans.
They're especially sad (2x normal emo sadness) about recent articles in the paper that they claim wrongly casts emos as a "suicide cult".
Up to 300 protesters have already signed up and organisers have urged them to be on their best behaviour and pick up their litter. And presumably not kill themselves.

"Emo" is killing British children!

It's getting way out of hand.
The whole 'emo kid beat-down' thing is getting extremely ridiculous. I mean, I don't understand why somebody would want to beat somebody else unconcious because they look, think, dress, and act differently than the others may do. I think that all people should be treated equally no matter their race, religion, and even clique. The whole 'emo kid beat-down' thing is getting extremely ridiculous.

Emo music blamed for teen suicide
Hannah Bond, a 13-year-old girl from Kent, hung herself, and Emo music has been blamed.
The coroner suggested that because Bond was so obsessive with the music it was linked to her death.
Bond had apparently talked with her friends about the "glamor" of suicide and even had a picture of an emo girl with bleeding wrist on her Bebo page. She also was obsessed with "My Chemical Romance."
According to the article, her parents seemed to think her obsession and moodiness was normal, emo was just a fashion.
Why is music always blamed? If everyone who listened to "Emo" music killed themselves there would be a lot of dead people in this world. It happens with rap music too. Not everyone who listens to rap is gonna become a ganster.
Could it be that the girl had some psychological issues on her own, regardless of the music she listened too? Hannah Bond, a 13-year-old girl from Kent, hung herself, and Emo music has been blamed. ... more -

Mexican Emos 'under attack'
It has been reported that there has been a bizarre wave of mob emo-bashings sweeping across Mexico.
The movement is being generated on internet message boards and social networking sites by non-emo youth who highly dislike like the emo look and attitude.
According to Daniel Hernanadez's blog, in which he has been keeping up to date with the emo-bashing Mexican antics, it begun about three weeks ago when "an estimated 800 young people poured into the city's Centro Historico hunting for emos to beat the crap out of." He goes onto state, "They found some."
Over the last few weeks the violence has spread across Mexico, with reported attacks sighted in Mexico City, Durango, Colima as well as others.
Check out some of these links and see if you can come up with an explanation as to why there has been such an increase in the amount of 'emo-bashings'.
