I dont hate you guys.I think it's just dumb to be depressed over life itself.Life is hard.Life isn't a walk through the park.Deal with it like the rest of the world.

well, yeah I understand, but I guess you have to be real like depressed to be an emo. I mean, im a goth and everyone at school goes round and says im emo just because I like rock music. I mean thats just dumb :dry: but I think emos are pretty cool ^_^

there's always some scrap of people at any given time that people don't like...
the Brits go on about chavs and people in North America rant on somewhat about emos...
5 years ago it was metalheads that got all the grief..
in the 90's they would rag on so called "thugs", people who listened to hip hop and wore baggy pants...
emo is just the latest trend that people have chosen to whine about...
not everybody "hates" emos, they just like to complain about them, like a joke where you already know the punchline...
try not to take it to heart, it's nothing personal and it will be someone else before you know it...

Ummm... what do you mean? (Im sorry for asking dumb questions)

hmmm... I'm not sure the best way to explain it... so I'll let good old Wikipedia do it for me :p

Wikipedia said:
The term emo itself is sometimes used pejoratively, to suggest that the target is overly emotional. Emo has been characterized as a fad that will be discarded and forgotten in the near future. Recent trends in music has also been compared to the teen pop of 1990s boy bands.Critics cast the music as lacking any artistic merit, the fashion as "embarrassing," and the people as imagining or pretending that they lead harsh, painful lives when they actually live in comfortable, middle- to upper-class homes. Members of the emo subculture are portrayed by critics as melodramatic, self-pitying teenagers who pour their efforts into writing bad poetry and spending a great amount of time on MySpace.

I wouldn't worry too much - Wikipedia is hardly the final word in anything. After all, it is edited by anyone who has an account, so there ya go.

Personally, I don't think it is "emo" to be sad about having a hard life - it's part of being human. I only get annoyed with certain friends of mine for whom life has been a piece of cake but they "need to feel pain" so they get all weird about it.

Then you have those who've had it rough but are the "get on with it" variety who have little or no compassion for those who are unable to be as upbeat as them - they might consider those who struggle to be emo but like Hex said, it's nothing to get worked up about and it's nothing personal.

I wouldn't say that any life style group is hated, I would just say it is the way the Group acts that determines if someone takes a dislike to you, judging strictly on what emos claim to do this gets frowned upon by quite a lot of people. Like when people say Emo you have all sorts of theories come up, probably one of the most popular would be the Slitting wrists. Or maybe something like they are so depressed and don't make any sort of bond with anyone. Instead they would just rather face the problem alone or whatever - when in fact this would be the worst thing you could do. Simply because you need help to deal with some problems or whatever, and people don't like the fact that emos get so depressed when they don't make enough of an effort to help theirselves.

The thing that makes you unpopular with people is simply the fact that you can seek to help yourself, but you don't. You think that you can go alone with all problems, resulting in a lot of emotions spinning around; such as Depression, anger or just the will to stop. Now, I know some of you may have personal problems, but you could relate them to other people, seek help; but, most don't. And thus result in a sort of downwards spiral on life.

Depression is not a sickness.For emos it is because their brains dont make a chemical which make them happy.And anti depressants put that chemical in their body.For any clinically or manically depressed person.

Hehe...

By the way, I was under the impression that whilst depression is indeed a chemical imbalance in the brain, it is still an illness...or was I just on more pills than a pharmacy and seeing counsellors for no reason? :p
