Confessions

i confess that is pretty funny

Bands like Dashboard Confessional began to popularize a more dramatic and personal style of "emo", which used lyrics that had a far greater appeal amongst teenagers experiencing life and love for the first time. As the lyrical content shifted, and as the genre began to enter the mainstream, the term "emo" started to be used more often to describe what was perceived by those outside the scene as the overwrought melodrama of the music. The perception was that melodrama was feigned, an effort to display depression or dysfunction where it didn't actually exist. Popular comments such as "don't be so emo" and "cheer up, emo kid" expressed the belief among detractors that fans of emo music took themselves too seriously.

As major labels began categorising more diverse bands under the "emo" label, varying styles of music and dress began to be conflated as well. The style of bands like My Chemical Romance and Panic! At the Disco, including their use of makeup (particularly black eyeliner) and longish hair (often covering one eye or the face) began to be associated with emo.

this sounds a lot like you said *rolls eyes*

And here's a convo between a friend and me:

nocturnomime: what would you define yourself as?
nocturnomime: goth?
nocturnomime: Punk?
nocturnomime: or Emo?
***: n/a, why?
nocturnomime: heh
nocturnomime: I got someone mad, because I said that I was a little emo, and she's crazy about emo, but hates me.
***: who?
nocturnomime: someone on an online forum. Zelda forum it is.
***: ah
nocturnomime: well, which do you think you are?
***: n/a
nocturnomime: but would you characterise yourself as emo in anyway?
***: nope
nocturnomime: what is emo anyway?
***: well, it started out as a term to describe a genre of music
***: EMOtional
nocturnomime: I know, what else?
***: but it then became a badge for listeners of the music, the stereotypical listener
***: which trendy f***s then began to copy the style of those people, and take it to the extreme
nocturnomime: lol
nocturnomime: dude, so basically it imploded on itself?
***: well, mostly the people that were the original 'emo' hate to be called that
***: the trendy f***s are the ones who would use the term about themselves
***: because they're doing it to be "coool"
nocturnomime: wow,
nocturnomime: so she's not really all that emo, most people don't understand the true meaning of emo?
***: maybe
***: more than likely she is probably a trendy f***
nocturnomime: why you say trendy f***?
***: cuz its a good term
nocturnomime: okaaaay.....
***: for someone who leeches onto something to be cool
***: like they see a new 'trend,' and they adopt it
***: thus, they are 'trendy'
***: and '****' is used as a noun, to replace 'person'
***: so instead of 'trendy person' its 'trendy f***'

I will not release the identity of my friend. This guy is a really knowledgable about music, punk, goth, emo, all of it.

[FireKitten18]

I confess this guy sounds like a 40 year old man. YOU ARE NOT EMO!YOU LISTEN TO CLASSICAL MUSIC! EMO IS A TREND! EMOTIONAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE EMOTIONS WERE DISCOVERED!

[darkphantomime]

Admit it nabooru, all you are is a trendy '***', not a true emo. Look at this and it will really make you think.

And besides, emo people who were originally emo hated being called emo. And FYI, this guy's 19, and he's really much smarter than most of you would know. How else would he know about all these trends?

[Nabooru]

Thats what emo is a trend der da der...and I just listen to their music, I am not emo though I wish I was.

And I hate when people tell me to think about stuff. All they make me think is god this is stupid.

[MasterKeyX]

i confess that i want a Wii

[Hi no Seijin]

Will you two take it to PMs already?!  Who cares what an emo is defined as?  Just stop talking about here and take it somewhere else.

Whenever I regain some of my sanity, it is snatched away again.

[darkphantomime]

Then I confess that it doesn't matter anymore... But if you knew me as I am, you would be really freaked out and twisted in new ways.

For a time I was obsessed with magic. So much that I would go into weird things when something would happen. I had lost who I was... heh, and I started to lose touch with reality, because I had gone so far away from everything else. THis was a time of very deep depression, believe it or not. Had lots of thoughts of suicide. But people don't know this, and so they do with their own hate...

I'm too disillusioned to care about anything anymore...

[Pale Dim]

Oh, dude, that is sooo deep!

[Hi no Seijin]

I could care less about politics.

[MasterKeyX]

i like politics
