"Emo" the new "Goth?"

RayB:
Take some of the lighter elements of punk, some of the lighter elements of goth, and some elements of "rocker" styles. Mix em all up, match it with commercialized "pseudo punk" music, and add a dash of teenage angst and that's "emo".
This sums it up:
Personally I don't have a problem with any of it. It's just teens being teens. In my day, it was those long-sleeve rocker shirts, super-tight jeans, rippe jean jackets and hair with tons of hair spray. Same ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, different look. Of course, adults have short memories, so....

Ahh the days of big hair and aqua-net, lol
I remember some of my girlfriends at the time having this "helmet" of hair you could probably break a board over :)

hehe. yeah, im not being an old grump. kids is kids. im just sad there is really nothing to define being an 'emo'. seems like being a buddhist (except that you can define what a real buddhist is) just because you say you are...
shmokes:
They are defined by what they buy, just like every other teenager for the last howevermany years. They listen to emo music, just like punks listen to punk music and goths listen to goth music and cowboys listen to retard music. The first time a cave-teenager put a bone in his hair and tagged the wall of the cave with stick figures and antelopes, all the cave-adults started making unintelligible grunting noises about how he was a freak and what was he ever going to amount to.
