I totally agree with the posts regarding 'emo' that have been going on; how twisted the whole thing's gotten. There's the music related meaning of emo - which I've always thought is a bit of an odd title, cus if a song isn't emotional, it might as well be an advert jingle (I got that quote from somewhere...), then there's the fashion, which is cool, but I prefer real gothic-ness much more ;) but THEN, there is the twisted realisation of it, that TOO MANY people seem to a) think emo IS, and b) support those people who think it is by going ahead and acting like it! Wth? Making dramas out of every little thing, and refusing any help for anything from anywhere, though making sure every poor person around them knows aaaaaaaall about how 'terrible' their life is (waahwaahwaah...) and PURPOSFULLY making their lives horrible JUST in order to complain about it. THAT is what 'emo' is turning into. Makes me sick. Idiots.
And as a quote, I posted this in my last blog too -
Pleeeeeaase do note the difference between being depressed, and depression. The former is feeling sad, the later is a very serious disease. These two should never be confused, or abused. Emo-ing (as in, the twisted version of it) for emo-ing’s sake makes people suffering from actual depression look stupid. Just... don’t.
*takes a slow calming breath* I love being able to get this stuff off my chest over here.
Anyway, I'll post about something that isn't a rant next time, I'm sure :P
