Tickle Me EMO and Call Me Macabre!!!

Here is an issue i've been meaning to deal with for a while. You see long time ago back in the 90's I discoverd this store in Utah ,of all places, called Hot Topics. Just a little store with Goth clothing and accessories, it was very dark dungeon looking I was waiting for Vincent price to jump out and greet me to a private party where I'd witness all sort of morbid behavior. Needless to say it was fantastic. At that time I said "man wish we had one of these in Idaho" So cut foward 8 or 9 years later we got one but two problems Corperate infulence and EMOS!! both of which I can't stand. Now Its obvious why I hate Corperate Influence cause they wanna make things marketable to everyone and in doing so loseing all credibilty for there product. Now you go there an it might as well be The Buckle with trendy shirts and styles stickers of all the latest bands and shit like that. Dont get me wrong you can still find the old stuff there too it just seriously how many products can they slap the Good Charlotte name on (love GC old stuff, hate the new stuff by the way ). Then there are the Emo kids, now Im gonna try to break this down for ya in case you dont know what Emo is. Emo is a few things its a Style, A genre of Music and art, and a Attitude. I dont mind the first too in fact Emo chicks are quite hot, though the guys gotta mix it up a bit they all look the same which might be the point though. The thing I hate about these Emo kids the I wanna die atittude or No one understands my pain so I gotta cut myself shit. Now I understand that not all Emo act this way, I personly have met some who were happy good hearted people. I just cant stand most people who wallow in how bad there life sucks, and to have to deal with them when im there or just anywhere is annoying and also there style is starting to dominate Hot Topics products cant find anything these days i like.


Now If you had to call me and my some of my freinds anything in now or in highschool it would have to be Goth. and brings me to reason two i hate Emo's. Goth get used as a interchangable word with Emo and vice versa. The big differce between Goth and Emo is Goth love death but they dont wanna be dead. they use there style to express themselves wether its happy or sad we just have love for the thing that are Macabre(concernd with death or grim or morbid details). Emos take pleasure in there introvertiness. they explore inward and focus on the bad it seems to the point they want to hurt themselves, and that is what drives me nuts it would no tmatter what they were. I understand that some people have had a shitty life and have thought about ending it and even tried, but to Emo's crank it up a notch and actually make it a cool thing to do to earn rep That is just retarded . Being proud about hurting yourself of trying to kill yourself is just Moronic. So if you dress Emo thats cool, you listen to Emo music thats cool too, but if you have the full blown Emo atittude then seek help, cheer up cause everyones lives suck sometimes but you dont have to let it get to you and stop bitchin so loud when your in Hot Topics.and for those of you who cant go get your own store get out of Hot topics I dont wanna hear your wineing when im in there.
