March of the Emos

"I was going through an unhappy period at school," she recalls. "I grew up in the wealthy area of Cheshunt in Hertfordshire, and I was surrounded by spoilt rich kids. I felt that being an emo gave me a defined individuality."

Looking back, she acknowledges that the "cult", as she calls it, was heavily linked to self-harm and depression.

Many of her friends were actually taking prescription antidepressants.

"In hindsight, I can see that being involved with such a cult can be dangerous if you are a vulnerable personality.

"There is a very dark side to being an emo, which is about dressing in black and listening to music with very deep lyrics. That could tip a vulnerable person over the edge."

See if World War 3 breaks out tomorrow and we need to start conscripting these kids? I'm surrendering. Immediately.

There are actually no words. At all. Jeez.

Recently, Levi asked her mother: "Just why do people kill themselves?"

"When she asked me that, it made me shudder," says Lorraine, 46, from Alston in Cumbria. "I managed to keep calm and explained to her that people's minds are very disturbed, and often they don't really want to die. But inside I felt sick with worry that Levi is thinking about such things.

WOMAN, get a grip, be a grown up and explain, your child is curious. FSAKE

I like the idea of 300 emo kids trying to march through London, London drivers care even less for emo kids than they do for common courtesy. It's gonna be a bloodbath.

[Ness]

i like the idea of three hundred emos defending the rights of all emos against the tyranny of the press.

THIS IS MCR!!!!!

How depressed would they be if the Mail said "you're right, sorry" as soon as they turned up? 300 emo kids smiling in close proximity could fracture reality.

Oh for fucksake.

Bandwagon much, on both sides.

Are all these pointless protests dreamed up by people that sell shoes or someone that bought a massive amount of cardboard placards cheap?

For all it sounds hilarious, the article is mindblowing, I mean it's called "Why no child is safe from the sinister cult of emo", for fuck's sake. Essentially it tells us that Emo is an evil cult, and anyone involved will probably top themselves after spending a few hours on Bebo.

They'll probably go stomping down the street one way, turn on their heels and stomp back up the other for dramatic effect, throw in some pouting and fuck off home.

I wanna know how these fans have 'confirmed' they're gonna turn up to unsanctioned protest.

Could be a great opportunity for all these bright young teens to exhibit their beauty and personality in front of numerous camera. I wonder if it will.

I couldn't read to the end of that article, even by the Daily Mail's non-existent standards that was awful. Most of the comments do seem to reflect reality, except for this one:

And cutting yourself is almost never suicidal in these circumstances, just a badge to say "look at me, I feel miserable". But some teenagers don't know how far to take it - remember the girls who killed themselves when Robbie Williams left Take That? Pointless and silly. And very sad.

The minute "emo" became a noun, these dickheads started deserving the stick.

Hope they get robbed/shanked.

[I'm Your God Now]

I hate emo kids.

God forbid that there is ever another terrorist attack on London, but if there ever is I know when i'd like it to happen.
