Emospeak

Emospeak refers to a condescending tone of language used by individuals in an attempt to humiliate another person by flexing their intellectual muscle. This should not be confused with execuspeak, which is similar to emospeak except used to impress business associates and subordinates rather than humiliate them.
Emospeak is not a phenomenon exclusive to emo kids, it has also been witnessed in goths and geeks who tend to memorize episodes of anime cartoons by production code. Despite others being seen using emospeak, the most common manifestation of this phenomenon is the “Emo kid being flamed on the Internet” defense. From this manifestation we can accurately draw its name.
==Modern Emospeak==

With the popularity of sites such as MySpace and LiveJournal contributing to the exponential growth of the emo community between 2001 and 2005, emospeak has never been more widely used (and abused). Now rather than being a poetic and wry, almost modern-day Shakespearean, response to an ignorant attack, the response is not only ignorant, but often times uncalled for.
Modern emospeak has so bastardized the carefully-crafted art of the early oppressed high school goths that some have compared it to the bastardization of rap by such artists as 50 Cent and Kanye West. Because of the awesome power of early emospeakers, the technique was, like Karate, intended to be a last-resort for defense. However over the past several years it has been abused for defense and is even being used as an offensive tactic by some of the more sensitive emo kids to blatantly attack others.
Spelling and grammar has also been thrown out the window with modern emospeak. It is no longer seen as important for an emospeaker to be a good writer to attack the writing skills or intelligence of others. As an emospeaker, it is absolutely imperative that you ensure your enemies know that you are their intellectually superior, no matter how many times they correct you or how little sense you make. The less sense you make, the better. You will then be able to accuse them of not making any sense or not being able to comprehend the profoundness of what you are telling them. You are enlightened, they aren't.
