Could someone explain to me the appeal of Emo?!


Question: Seriously.... I thought Goths were kindy whiny ten years ago... but thes current "Emos" at least the stuff that makes the airwaves really takes the prize.

Is it ALL so snivelly and whiny? And if so.... wtf is the point?!?!

Well, in regards to the music subgenre, that's all subjective.
Different things appeal to different people.
Everyone should know this by now.
And while I suppose the same applies to the subculture, I really don't understand the appeal, either. Whiny kids who pride themselves on their mental illnesses? Most people I know who are truly depressed tried desperately to hide it, which in some cases, had some consequences that were far less than pleasant. I simply can't comprehend why someone would want to be suicidal, or better yet, why society would glorify such. It's very sad.

Appeal for those who are too weak to be punk but still want to rebel.

With being whiney... i don't know how that works...

Goth doesn't bother me. I like Gothic rock and I kind of like the whole Goth fashion style. Emo on the other hand I have a different opinion of. There are so many at my school. Talking about Alesana with their girly tight pants. Bugs the hell out of me.

so guys can act like chicks and not be called a fag (in there own inner circle)

Well, whiny and pathetic are all the rage.

"Try Emo, you're in for a wrist-slittingly good time!"

Edit: I nearly died laughing when I read that emos have "real problems." You call not getting tickets to the latest concert of girl-pants wearing clones a real problem? If you have real problems, suck it up and deal with it like the rest of us.

They think it's cool. There really is no point except to get attention.

I'm still trying to figure that out myself. I don't see the appeal in being depressed and whiney, all these kids need is just a big hug from mom and dad.

He`s just so CUTE! you just wanna tickle him to death!

Its a form of conformity. Its fashion. As "someone " shows you, yes they are whiney! 10 or 15 years from now they will be embarrassed by their melodramatic behavior and the way they dress.

At first I thought the question was "explain the appeal of Elmo." Tired eyes and been on here too long I suppose.
Anyway, I can't explain the appeal. I try to stay away from anyone who complains, no matter who they are.

it's supposedly a group of people who will accept you for who you are and you can be an individual, you can be whoever you want. but honestly, it's one of the worst trends i have ever seen, and the people who claim "emo" look more alike than anything. emo is a lot different from what it originated from. i suppose its just like 12 year old girls who think if they wear black and pink together that they're "punk". :\

hey. im bi-polar to(but Not Emo). but ANYWAY. Y!A puts Q's about emo into the Gay and transgendered section because emo ppl are whiny fags.

I'm not bi-polar but the whole thing about the "I have problems, my life is a deep, dark abyss" just drives me insane!

honestly, we live in America people (or im assuming the majority do, if not another well off country), how could any of our tiny problems compare to that of way more less fortunate countries. i mean come on, "my parents hate me, a girl doesnt like me, nobody understands me" its ridiculous how ungrateful people can be

I think some people are just stupid and, for some reason, have the need to fit into a fad. I have no clue how the emo world got so popular among miserable teenagers, but it's a fad and going to be gone in less than 7 years. (guessing of course)
@->-->-

Stupid Trend.

I am Emo. Its because us Emos have real problems and have real depression and wear our pain with pride and honor to the world, and is an expression of ourselves. We do not cut, or seek attention. We are really suicidal and its for people who feel misunderstood by society.
