The EMO thing

This morning a friend shared to me a video URL from youtube. Suprisingly,i find it quite comical. The video was a tutorial on how to dress the "emo" way. The tutorial was demonstrated by a caucasian guy, and in a way he seems to be very fashionable. I was puzzled on how the guy behaves, is he a gay or not? So, is emo a Gay thing? No offense to those who claims to be "emo" but i find myself bewildered by this thought.

Emo, short for emotional. Therefore, emo is a state of mind. In today's generation most of the "emo" people are teenagers. You can recognize them by their looks and hair. They usually have shaggy hairdos, dyed with dark colors most probably black. They also have uniquely cut bangs that covers half of their faces. Clothingwise they wear undersized clothes like fitting shirts and skinny jeans. Most of them would have facial peircings and make-up. The make-up i am talking about is the black eyeliner that compliments thier eyes. Hooked up with dark rimmed glasses, and together with bags cluttered with patches either a side bag or pack bag. They go for footwears like chucks and vans. Girl or boy emo almost always share the same fashion. So most likely they have the same taste and appearance.

Most of today's emo are laughed about. The society does not understand thier ways and unexplainable behavior. When you have to take a look at them they look lifeless and do not care on what is happening around them. Their faces are full of emotions, mostly sad, in pain, and the suicidal type look. I was even astonished to know that some emo boys kiss each other. Yes that is so true, i read this from emo-corner.com "Emo boys kissing is when two or more emo boys explore with each other by kissing. They usually do it to see the girls go crazy..They just do it because they can, and they know girls think it's hot! " LOL. Oh well, that is their own point of view.

Well my friend whether emo or not..we have all the rights to express ourselves. We have given the free will to choose on what we want and what we think for us is right. As part of the democratic society, we are bound to respect each others points of view. Express yourself well! =)

note: i can't share the tutorial with you, the actor in the video might be offended. peace!=)
