Watch your emo

it might sneak up on you and force you to suck.

It's not often I get to do one post about two things that are very close to my heart. It is a blessed day however, as I just saw Papyrus in this amazingly asinine news clip:



This "emo" thing kills me. Like, we're all trying to be different... in exactly the same way.

It's the pop-culture emo shit that is the problem. Real emo, and the slacker mentality came by way of thrift and achieving as little as possible. Emo shirts were ironic and original because they were actually found in thrift stores. Hair was actually messed up out of laziness.

Now, it's all about going to the mall to pay top dollar for clothes that look like their from a thrift store. You buy jeans that have already been torn. People spend money on hair products they then use to spend time applying to their hair to suggest an expertly crafted "bedhead".

"We're all trying to be different... in exactly the same way. It's very expensive to do so. Aren't I original?"

Oh and here's another video on emo kids cutting themselves. These newscasters are so in the know and must be really good at their jobs to bring us these hard-hitting stories that, other than for kitsch value, I have absolutely no interest in watching.

Let's hear it for girl pants, huh?!

oh and if any emo kids are reading, email me. I have a bunch of pills and razor blades you might want.
