Description
NOTE THIS IS NOT MINE I FOUND IT ELSEWHEREthis is what emo was a few years ago and i was and would have not cared if someone called me emo back then but nowadays what emo stands for and is used as and is joked around about is completely different it deals with cutting death constant depression and only wearing black and listening to "emo" music which is completely different style of music compared to what an emo of a few years ago listened to they listened to, they listened to indie bands. now "emos"listen to screamo and emo music i wish we had a different name for the "emos" of today like call them unoriginals or something along that line because they all pretty much look the same just shorter or taller. why because i look like that guy above minus the glasses and i have a diferent face obviously and i get called emo for nothing when i don't even look close to what today's "emo's" are like. i wish it was different.
*EDIT*

Wow, I definitely prefer this kind of 'emo'. The 'emos' today are nothing like this, they're like strange goth impersonators or something o.O
The styles here look more like what's now referred to as 'indie', so as you said, a lot of people might not even think that this look was what used to be called 'emo' =/
I used to get called an 'emo' at school, but one of today's type pf 'emos', like as an insult, people thinking I self-harmed just 'cause I wore a lot of black, and wasn't even trying to be that kind of 'emo'. I don't like how the 'emos' now give like a bad impression for anyone that looks a tiny bit like that style >.<

Ah, I remember this.
Back in the good days of emo, when raiding thrift stores, looking unique and listening to good music got you labelled, rather than looking like a morbid little clone.
Not bashing modern emos though. I hang out with too many to hold a grudge.

This is why emo doesn't make sense to me, goths wear black, goths had the whole black thing down packed way before emos did. Its funny, the ones that call themselves emo dress like goths but act all weird.... Well, weird relative to a goth perspective. Scene kids sounds like a good way to describe them.

# i totally agree with you these days what people think are 'emos' are actually just scene kids.

dear god... So it looked three years ago .. hmm I'd been alway like that, as child I heard indie bands, I was dressed like that... and they just had called me geek ... I do not care anyways .. but I just weare clothes I like at the moment , I usually had brown hair but i allways loved the black hair of my mother so I wanted them to have black to I had dye them black ^^ and now I am called emo from all sides.. most from gangsters who do not really know whats the meaning of emo is and who is an "emo" (!) I am thinking there is no one who could called be emo, thats not even a real word!
emo is just a music style .. but i adore this style.. sometimes i really need some noise to scream out my feelings and then go and drink glasses of water because i got Sore throats xD lol this had to be said !
still its very intresting to see how "emo" was like ... i'd never seen something like this before.
still very nice you had put it in

i'm just surprised that it got so much attention. i mean i only have around 700 something page views.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
hmm really??
Isnt it kind of good for you then x)
but pageviews do not really count because everyone can give a view on your page and this could be all...
the others are intrested in your art.
thats a difference ...
still I like it ^^
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
true. but more page views means more people have gotten a chance to see my artwork.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1

I just look If someone had favorit/collect my artwork of commented it ^^

omg thats so from a seventeen magazine from like 2000 or something.
i still have that issue
your comment is so true.
emo years and years ago was not so much of black, black, depressed, black, black, and depressed, as what it is today.
i think it was more of a artsy, nerd, outcasts style.
now it has been morphed so much that i think goths and emo practicely look the same.
i basicly get called emo for looking like todays emo's.
and i'd prefer to be called nothing or goth.
becuase emo is also considered someone that cuts, and it depressed alot.
im more of just someone that wears alot of black funky colours of hair a accessaries.
i love how you have that photo of what emo was from seventeen magazine and rote your own comment about it.
theres alot more behind a picture then some people think.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yeah most of the time there's more than a thousand pages if not books for every photograph.
it's amazing how a simple story can entertain someone and it branches out form a singel photo that they saw like newspapers for instance.
thanks for the comment it's nice to know that someone finally though about what i said or even read it it's hasn't been happening very much lately i wish more people would tell me what they think of my writing or stories more often.

...now you can decide wether this would be good or not. I don't think it would be good, cause they are pretty much fun in my oppinion
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
sometimes fun to make fun of but yeah that was emo a few years ago now it's indie which i think is a better term for the way people like that look like than emo, emos are just a bad impersonation of goth
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
It sounds like you know "the Emo-song" by Adam and Andrew
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yeah i heard it and thought it was stupid but emo is jut a bad impersonation of goth it's true
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
I miss when this was emo... The old emo was cute Now it's all the cookie cutter danky dark doom doom kids... running around iwearing hottopic, straight off the manikin outfits.
What is it now... some weird mix of prep and goth? Erg.
I miss the old emo. haha
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yeah so do i mostly because i was that before it was called emo and i looked like that. now it;s something that is s really stupid name for depressed or not depressed just clumping them together as a group, personally i think stereotypes are lame and stupid and a reason for them to make the person seem less human which makes it easier to make fun of them.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
As lame as stereotypes are it's hard to escape them, or the people who make stereotypes so true.
Anyway, thanks for posting this. Fun little reminder of how things once were ^_^

i'm just glad i'm not the only person out there who wishes that it never was called emo and when it first was that's what it was and it wasn't really something to be ashamed or mad about but now it is.

..thats not emo. at all. ever.
thats nerd fashion. cute, but not emo, except maybe the glasses.

Perhaps you were just too young to notice when this was emo... Because it was.
