The Shrine

Hahahaha, I love it! =)

What's with all this emo stuff lately, like people keep on talking about it in WoW too.

Bah ha. Fucking losers.

It's a mid 90's stereotype, kind of the bridge between the Grunge era and the Goth and Rave era. They're all philosophy majors =)

I found the lyrics =)

Dear Diary,
Mood: Apathetic
My life is spiraling downward, I couldn't get enough money to go to the Blood Dead Romance and Sufficate Me Dry concert, and it sucks because they play some of my favorite songs like "Stab My Heart Because I Love You" and "Rip Apart My Soul" and (of course) "Stab Me Rip Stab Stab"!!! And it doesn't help that I couldn't get my hair to do that flippy thing, like that guy from that one band can do. Somedays....

I'm and emo kid
Non-conforming as can be
You'd be non-conforming to if you looked just like me
I've got paint on my nails and make-up on my face
I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
'Cause I feel real deep when I'm dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression
Most just call me a fag
'Cause our dudes look like chicks
And our chicks look like dykes
'Cause emo is one step below transvestites
Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo!
I don't jump around when I go to the shows
I must be emo!
I'm dark and sensitive with low self-esteam
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sister's mascara and now I'm grounded for a week
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can't get through a Hawthorn Heights album without sobbin
Girls keep breaking up with me, it's never any fun
They say they already have a pussy and don't need another one
Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo!
I don't jump around when I go to the shows
I must be emo!
Dying my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo!
I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo!

My life is like a black abyss you know, so dark and it's suffacating me and grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip tighter than a pair of my little sister's jeans, which look great on me by the way!

(guy singing)
When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped gives me an errection
I write in a live journal and wear think rimmed glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes
I'm just a bad, cheap imitation of goth
Reading "Catcher in the Rye" and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said I liked girls I'd only be half right
I look like I'm dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo!
Screw X-box I play old school Nintendo
I must be emo!
I like to whine and hate my parentals
I must be emo!
Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be emo!

(guy talking)
My parents don't get me you know. They think I'm gay just because they saw me kiss a guy...well, a couple of guys. But I mean this is the 2000's! Can't 2...or 4 guys make out without being gay?!?! I mean chicks dig that kind of thing anyway. I don't know diary, sometimes I think you're the only one who gets me. You're my best friend!...........I feel like tacos.

You cannot do a thread about emo without watching this.

I've shown this to many. Hilarious shit.

That was pretty funny, mainly because of the guy's voice, but I get sick of the mocking of sub-cultures thing. The whole reverse-conformity argument is even more annoying and misguided than the reverse-racism argument. People conform, it's in our nature to conform; certain people just identify with different sets of values. If you were 100% independent you would also be 100% sad and lonely - you'd be the KING OF EMO!

Besides, what did emo kids ever do to you? Can't you just let them play Legend of Zelda in their original Chuck Taylors in peace?
