You'll have to excuse me...I don't get out much...but...what means "emo"? I've been seeing this word around a lot lately, and all I've been able to figure out is that it is not a reference to off-beat comedian Emo Phillips, who just did a show in Leeds recently after not being heard from since the mid 90's.

Probably...one of the toughest times...in anyone's life...is when you have to murder a loved-one because they're the devil......other than that though...its been a good day. -- Emo Phillips

Yikes! Now I feel old! He even had a bit part in that Miami Vice episode that Phil Collins was in!

Phil - as gameshow host: "How many toilets are there in Graceland?"

Emo - as contestant: "The whole country?" ::slowly rattles off some huge number while playing with his hair::

Emo is a style of music. It's short for emotion, and that's what it expresses. Songs can vary from beingg very quite and calm, to loud, not-understandable screaming and violent instrument torturing. Works quite good with depressions, why it got a reputation of expressing rather darker moods.
For further information, I just found a link that explains a lot of it and its different styles: <a href="http://www.fourfa.com/">clicky-clicky</a>

And here a quote by someone, whose name I forgot:
"When you have a girlfriend, you <i>can't</i> be Emo"

Haha. People really don't like that guy it seems. I think it was a noble effort on his part to help people understand, but it is inevitable in a case like that to have to resort to stereotyping and labeling. But that's another reason I don't limit myself to one style. I dress and listen to whatever becuase it makes me, well, me. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I've evaded description to the extent that in my german class one year, when we were asked to write down all the styles of dress and cliques we could think of, they gave me my own style/group name. Hehe. I thought was sorta funny. Encouraging too, to know that I haven't been totally unsuccessful at being my own person.

I had a quote from my friend Mario as my sig for a while: "Emo means you don't have a girlfriend. If you've got a woman, you CAN'T...BE...EMO!!" -- is that what you're thinking of? I don't know if he heard it from someone else, though.

Savethehissingcockroaches · Sun Jul 21, 2002 2:41 pm

hahaha, did anybody else hear about/see the article on 'how to be emo' in the newest seventeen magazine? my friend marika bought it and was reading me quotes from it. and jimmy eat world 'dislikes being called emo' haha, deary me.

youth today is FAR to obsessed with being 'rebels'. unfortunatly, there are two different veiws of 'rebel'. there's the 'punk/emo' approach, and the 'confederate flag' approach. i live in florida, so now, these people who want to be 'trendy', will dress in black and attempt to be what seventeen says is emo, and then plaster their cars/trucks/fancy rich cars that their parents buy them with confederate flag stickers. it makes me laugh.

er...i'm done..

Like I said. Just be you. Not a style. Never let one thing define who you are (well, besides God, but you know what I meant).

Here, try one of my Valium muffins. Fresh baked every day. Heavens to Betsy, they're tasty, delicious, and oh-so-sedatious! Look for the brown bag that says WARNING: Do Not Operate Heavy Machinery!

Ah, but does it necessarily have to be an object, Anillenium? Isn't it possible to be obsessed about something that isn't tangible?

Rico Underwood · Post by **Rico Underwood** » Mon Jul 22, 2002 7:45 am

As I see it, it's the thought that counts, literally. Something that you prize above your relationship with God. It could be the persuit of money, fame. It could be "nationalism", "the internet" or any consuming obsession.

In the end, anything taken to excess is detrimental, you don't need a religion to see that.

Stoned Arabs? They were Hebrews, Mr Underwood, the children of Israel.

I suppose they were a little tired from wandering in the desert for forty years, bitter about the dust accumulating in their robes, and maybe sometimes angry and frightened, but I seriously doubt they were stoned.
