You hit the nail on the head. People have, and always will ,marginalise, mistrust and criticise that which they do not understand. This matter highlights the public and media need to direct its prejudices upon something, to scapegoat and label. Teen/youth culture is easy target. | |

| Why do so many people hate Emo?
Posted: 7/21/2008 8:44:30 AM | | I used to be emo in highscool for about 2 yrs. People tend to hate the guys emo more where i live because most of them are gay. A lot of people have the wrong idea about emo males cause of the way they dress, they have the impression that they're gay and tend to create emo bashing groups. I love white emo men, wish i could find one. I just love their hair the rings on their lips everything about them makes me melt. Your quite right they don't understand so if you don't know something you'll hate it cause your inferior | |

Then it went all over the place and came back with lifetime, sunny day real estate, the promise ring, and jets to brazil.
The stuff most people call emo, isn't.
And to call a type of music a style of dress, is retarded. | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 3:55:18 PM | I always find these kind of questions interesting. Why do people hate country, or hip hop, or metal, or classical. Because people "hate" lol.
We love to judge, give our opinions, and try and prove that our point of view is "better" than everyone else's. Its just human nature. Everyone does it from time to time, its unavoidable.
But like the post above asks, "Just want to know why people hate a genre they don't understand". You answered your own question. We "hate" what we don't understand. Granted we do hate somethings we do understand, or presume to understand, but most of the time we see something and go "WTF...man i hate that."
I for one grew up in the nu-metal era. Korn, Deftones,Limp Bizkit, Staind and a host of other bands. Music doesn't get much winier than that(well not deftones)...but if your screaming to the point that hairs' rise on the back of your neck, well thats pretty bad ass...or so we thought. But todays "emo" is more of the pop variety. Heaven forbid we get guys who can actually sing(regardless if its falsetto or not lol). Sure the optics of skinny jean, eyeliner wearing, long bangs falsetto sings kids does seem a little wimpy...but does anyone remember a little thing called hair metal. You know great manly bands like Twisted Sister. Now that was makeup and eye liner. I'm not saying....i'm just saying...
At any rate...the world would be a better place if we stopped being so damned ignorant before we start judging everything...Have an opinion but be mature and respectful of the fact is is just that - an opinion. | |

Then why are you all exactly the same and exactly as mainstream as eachother?
Simple case of "I'm going to conform to being "different" by following a subculture!"
I'm usually against hating an entire sub-culture, or an entire genre, but as always, there's an exception to every rule. Y'all are jus' so damn irritating!
It's like.. they're whiney just for the sake of being whiney. They all seem to be either anorexic or obese. They all seem to think that moping around and generally being emo makes you special, or something and none of them realise it's just a pre-teen phase they're going through. They think they're all being different, yet selling themselves out to overly-corporate bands like my Chemical Romance and other whiney little emo bands that I'm sick of hearing about, wherever I go, that wouldn't even exist if little emo kids weren't mistaken into thinking they produce good music and give them the only thing they're interested in; money because their friends tell them it's kewl, and it'll make them different by listening to them, like every other emo.
Whatever they think they're doing that makes them so original and "different", has been done before, a thousand times over.
To add to that, people look at then and associate them with metal. An emo kid wouldn't last 5 minutes in a real metal pit. It's degrading!
Remember, kids, it's along the road, not across the street. Do us all a favour.[/rant] | |

If you want to find what I think is the original emo song, look up "The Quiet Room" by Alice Cooper.

I have not heard any of the bands mentioned, or any band calling themselves "Emo".
My friends don't hate it, because they haven't heard it either.
About all I know is that Emo Phillips is not funny. | |
