Quote:Here's the thing. The bias against being "emo" is apparently so strong that people just can't be introverted loner types any more... So, those that actually hide from people at school are likely targetted even more, despite the utter dislike of attention.
I was a loner introverted type, but I didn't dislike attention. I was, after all, the youngest child. I was pegged as a weird kid, though, and people pretty much left me alone after 9th-10th grade. Everyone finally mellowed the fuck out Junior year.
Quote:Yeah that's the ironic thing. I probably fall into the definition of emo in some ways. I'm the introverted loner type. Oh and I have emotions. I also like girls who wear those geek glasses and have piercings. And I even like certain emo bands. I just don't dress the part and since the whole emo thing is so superficial if you don't dress the part you're not part of the group. Kinda like goth.
I'm pretty much like that, but I don't like many emo bands because the voice of the singer is so whiney. Like that Fallout Boy shit.
