Emo is the new goth to the musically ignorant They both wear black and are depressed so according to musically ignorant kids they see the same thing It s just a new insult word like I hate goths there creepy Now it s I hate emo kids It s become an insult coming from the mouths of the ignorant Almost everybody who gets called emo isn t In fact most of the emos that would get called it probably shouldn t care what society thinks since their trying to be disenfrachised And as far as it being used as an insult The Emo Song hasn t helped any mainly it s just stereotyoed Emo kids as a bunch of wrist slashing bipolars
