***NOTICE***
If the boards are abused, I'll make this even harder to join in, with an interview before the joining! I'm serious about this!
***END NOTICE***
This is a group for fans of all emo bands, for emos that don't listen to emo, and for supporters of emo to join. If you've ever been stereotyped, and hate the way that the media portrays your subculture, join.
Recently, the media has portrayed the emo subculture in a less-than-savory fashion that I, as well as the rest of the emo subculture, detests.
Common misconceptions:
Myth: All emos cut.
Fact: Lots of people from lots of subcultures (or none at all) cut.
Myth: We're all depressed.
Fact: You can be depressed no matter what you are. It's your body, not your taste in music, that decides.
Myth: Emos want to shoot/kill/be violent to people.
Fact: The same argument can be used for professional wrestlers, marksman, servicemen, and boxers. Not all emos want to do any one thing, and violence is against our beliefs.
ANTI-EMO THINGS:
THINGS THAT MAY BE CONFUSEDLY CLASSIFIED AS ANTI-EMO THAT AREN'T:
Emo humor videos, such as the emo farm, and the emo police.
Thank you, www.skem9.com. I took off the ads because they were distracting, but I'd still like to give them a shoutout.
