Ok, so making fun of emos has gotten popular these days. Let’s face it, emos are easy targets and they are pretty much harmless. After all, they are self-loathing and lazy. Seriously, how much work does it take to put on a little eyeliner? Now goths and punks on the other hand show true commitment to their exterior statement. But emos?
Indulge me for a moment… but what’s with the reigning king of emo? He seems like a poser to me. I mean he married Ashlee Simpson and is fathering her child. Isn’t her Dad a psycho Christian pervert from the South? It would be one thing if they rebelled against old Joe Simpson but they don’t, he is still her manager. I just don’t get what is so alternative about Pete Wentz-Simpson? I have to say it, the Fall Out Boy is not a rogue or eccentric pioneering musical influence or any shade of rebel. The dude was on the cover of Out Magazine with the headline “Yep, I am a fag” and later he said “it’s all because I know that I am going to get a reaction” and that he is sexually attracted to men but only from the waist up. I don’t get it. That doesn’t even make sense. He just seems silly to me. Is this what has happened to our rock icons? Remember Bowie? Remember the Stones (pre-hab) or Michael Jackson (pre-Neverland)?
With all that being said I can actually relate to the emo world. I mean I liked Sunny Day Real Estate and Shudder to Think. Didn’t everyone like the first Jimmy Eat World song they heard? And I’ve had my share of moody days. I also have bangs and I wear black eyeliner.
In an effort to establish truce between myself and the emos of the world, I offer:
