Emo Kid Beatdown Day
6/6/06. A great day for The Omen's marketing folks, for sure. But did you know it was a national holiday? Saw this on a bunch of blogs...
Y'all wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?

i bet the guy posting this has one of those haircuts. come on buddy, just admit it. oh, and you...the guy posting a comment after me. you have one of those haircuts too. it might not have the EXACT placement as one of the ones in the drawing. yeah...you. you're sorta feeling a bit uncomfortable right now, shifting your hair a little bit and trying to mess it up...but....it's now looking like one of those other drawings. you'll get over it. once you graduate high school you'll realize that hair is not the most important thing in life. when you're 95 you'll think to yourself, "why did i waste all of that time worrying about my hair? sure, it made me look cool, like i was in a rock band or something. but when i was photocopying at my temp job, nobody looked at me. now i'm retired from all of that and nobody looks at me now. they just clean up my urine for me in my bedpan."

I bet half of the people who read this blog, or better, have a similar haircut, but with blonde/red/blue/white/purple highlights, for goodness sake. Back in the early 90's they were wearing flannel. What do you expect when many people toe some sort of faux-bohemian line and don't even like the music they are pretending to enjoy?
Score = 0
Many of the kids who were wearing flannel were also wearing combat boots. The 90's, especially the early 90's genre, were still kicking ass and taking names. Nowadays the Emo's are too busy whining, complaining, crying and trying to commit suicide because they can't handle the stresses of their lives. C'mon, you see kids in Third World countries living in shit conditions with no iPod, myspace or a radio and they're not Emo. Fast forward a few years and those same Third World country kids are either trafficking drugs, humans, became successful in their lives or ended up dead. Ungrateful little bitches trying to make a statement about the sorrows in their lives. Suck it up, grow a pair (for the guys) and face your challenges head on!

the photo and the haircut controversy that follows; isn't that just giving into more judgmental bullshit based on hipster/scenester/i'm cooler and older than you nonsense? i think it is weird and discomforting when very young kids give into music genre-based aesthetics, but i'd still prefer any of those haircuts anyday opposed to whatever the haircut norm is now or from before. but then again, the beatle-swoop thing sure seems like it's growing as the norm.

I thought they were Beatle-cuts when I first saw them too. They're hard to identify without the sullen-looking, eye-liner-wearing faces to go with them.

Ya all i have to say is leave the emo kids alone i dont see the problem all you guys are trying to fit in with the rest and join to the stupid jokes you make. And if emo kids are dipressed and act strange and are a bit stange let theem be for we dont know for sure why they do the things they do. YA i did leave my email because i dont care if you come yell at me or make fun of me i am not emo. I like the punk side ya. and maybe i did leave my real name because i am not afraid. SO i really just wanted to say whats the big point. We should be hear to help them for the love of God.. No really God is the real one we should be following and praying that maybe he could give us humble hearts and also we should really be careful with what we say. Ya i am not emo but i dont see a major problem with it. Bye all conformity is not right. yes i know that this does purtain to some emo kids so God Bless!!!

hell-o?
in germany, emo is quite popular. two years before they were the ideal little skatepunks who listened to blink 182 and pennywise. the next thing was emo and so they buy their black "from first to last"-t-shirts and their black hoodies. it´s just a trend, no one is sad or depressed but pretends to be, at least on myspace. i´m wondering if anyone takes this whole thing serious? to me, it´s just another youthculture.

I found the comments hilarious since no one who commented seemed to know anything about what emo really is.
But anyway, we "emo's" (don't let me ever refer to myself as that again) are "sissies". You've got that right. I for one will tell you right now, idiot neanderthal male aggression is overrated, and in pretty much every case well...stupid. I sounded redundant, but you catch my point.
Whatever, you all just showed your "vast intelligence". It doesn't take that long to even google the word emo and find out none of you know what you're talking about.

People really beat you up for being emo? I thought it was all a lil tongue in cheek... The reaction shows its a tender issue.
I'm a sociology major at uni, and my faculty coordinator does a lot of subculture research...
If any of you (emo or no)could send me your ideas of what 'emo' really is- Is it more than a musical subculture?
+ Material aspects that carry meaning- such as clothing, hairstyles, music etc
+ Language- any language or non verbal communication specific to emo culture.
+ Values- standards of behaviour in social interraction, self-view in terms of how being emo fits in with society as a whole, and how society is viewed by people who consider themselves emo.
All of it would be anonymous, and the purpose is to document, analyse, and understand not judge. Send any response to my email address...

Why are you all defending yourselves over the internet? 666 is over. Get on with your lives. Don't be so offended over the internet, stop fighting with people whom you don't know.

Ok, emo kids, let's get real. Really real. There's a lot of GOOD reasons to hate you, honestly.I'm starting a list, everybody pile on.
1. Superiority/Inferiority Complex
The typical Emo kid in his abberant mind believes that while he is harassed, unloved, and shunned by the general public he is also superior mentally, more physically attractive and/or spiritually inclined to compensate for this weakness. See also, Delusions of Grandeur.
2. "Non-Conformity"
Believing that he is not part of typical "corporate" or "normal" society, the goddamn emo kid sets himself apart from "society" in the belief that this will be a haven, a change for the better. In truth, the emo kid brings all his psychotic baggage BEFORE he was an emo kid to all the other emos with their own baggage, creating their own distinctly flavored clusterfuck for the masses. Emos change their dress to another mass produced style and think themselves "counterculture".
SOMEBODY STOP ME OR ILL POST MORE!
p.s. worst of all yer music sucks more than Bolton/Manilow/Sinatra double album. That goes for radiohead AND Coldplay too.

i think it's extremely pathetic how you have to stereotype others because you think you are so god damn perfect... take a look in the mirror... a haircut doesn't define a person... neither does a stereotype... people are made up of alot more than their outer layers... this is why the world is going so bloody crazy because noone can except each other any more... maybe one day you will realise that if you judge then you too will be judged...

Emo is just a subgenre of rock, just because someone appreciates the music, or the style, doesnt mean they cut themselves, or hate life.
Its not right to label someone you probably don't even know. Get to know a person before you judge the crap out of them.

I don't hate emos or anything. But this one time i got really drunk and i passed out. Some people gave me an emo makeover and i woke up with black clothes an emo haircut and eye liner on.

Im sure i dont fully understand what you go through but that experience gave me some idea. Its terrible.

Ok...Why the hell would people want to hurt other people who are no different than themselves? I mean it seems kinda pointless to beat up someone for the way they wear their hair or clothes. Beating up emo kids is exactly like when Martin Luther King Jr. made his buisness. With the segragation and all. Black and white people didn't like eachother for their skin color.You never saw a single black person in a white school or mainly stuff like that! What's next schools only for emo's and schools only full of preppy people? You ever stop to think why kids in schools hurt other people with guns, knives and what not? If there's anymore good people out there you would think for a minute that bullying is just giving people a reason to hate you, and what do these ignorant people do? They go ahead and torture them. No i'm not an emo, but emo means "emotional" right? And everybody has emotions. So wouldn't everybody be emo? So people who want to beat up "emo" kids are saying they have no emotions...when all of us are only human. Preppy people can be sad and i don't see people wanting to beat their faces in!
