this question has come up from the not-so-sub-culture-educated folks...

so here's the instructional video..
How to be Emo

so quit yer smilin' being happy and what have you.. emo's the new pink! or is pink the new emo?

i still don't really get it
lol.

a little off but dam are some of those bands old school. Funny
Wow. That's just so... wrong.

Quite wrong.

There are people like this?
like i mentioned the video is off LOL
I have yet to meet any one like that lol

http://www.suicidegirls.com, http://www.myspace.com, http://www.deviantart.com - surprised they didnt mention anything about those main sites.
^^ no kidding.

problem with any site that tries to explain EMO, it's always a bit off the mark... close, in that I think it's correct for the regional EMO scene, but not so much for the 'accepted'(?) emo-pop culture.

or all you have to do is hit up livejournal.... anyone who's not smiling and is looking down and away from the camera can provide you a guide into the emo look.

I've seen a lot of it here in toronto.. I've seen Emos sitting in the middle of a statue at dundas and yonge-ish, looking sad, and introspective, but with the ever pervasive digital camera to capture that self-emo-portrait.

And while a there are punk bars in T.O., like the bovine sex club, they tend to have a few emos around as well. Emos tend to invade goth/punk clubs.

Actually, there's another bar I've been to on Monday nights at Bloor and Bathurst.. can't remember the name right now, but it's VERY emo... and watching EMO's cut loose and dance is always entertaining.

p.s. if you want to get some good eats and see where EMOs gather to eat in toronto, head to queen and bathurst to Saigon Cowgirl... a great fusion restaurant where you can get sweet potato fries with wasabe mayo and jager chocolate mousse.
I've yet to see what this so-called emo (elmo?) is or looks like? are they just another style for gothic people? well come to think about it, i may have seen atleast one emo-ish person at club 108 not too long ago... other than that, ive been to everywhere DP talks about but have yet to see anybody who looks something like an emo (elmo?)
so its a new fashion thing? :huh:

.... are you sure you live in mississauga?

Go to any of the malls, Drive past highschools... tim hortons... theyre everywhere mang!
you prolly seen emo kids may just not realize it.

majority ppl listen to emo and dont even know..
So many girls seem to love emo, they think its "cute" lol
emo girls are hot!!
Emo girls are hot ...


Look... Emo kids even like parkour : http://pkto.ca/popups/jul9_09.htm (try to find him .. ha ha ha)
^-- can't be emo if he's athletic, and into 'extreme' sports, can he?
From my understanding they can.... Besides Parkour is still pretty underground, hence im sure thats bonus points for him.

Im sure he goes home and cries about failed vaults, and slits his wrists because others are better then him ...

=P

To add to Jays list, Morbid Beauties and Livejournal (biggest emo site ever) are some other very popular emo locations on the net.
^^-- I already mentioned live journal, didn't i?

actually, I find emos on lots of blogspaces now.. MSN My Space is being overrun by them too.
Your right steve you did .. my bad ..

Msn My space is the new livejournal lately ... Its quickly becomming very emo.

The internet makes it so possible to be emo... Its like breading them.
emo collects in the cold dark corners of the internet.

anyone have stain remover?
mmmmmmmmm http://www.suicidegirls.com so hot!!!!!
