AHAHA
So, if they're all doing it, isn't it then "pop culture"?
Ahh well, let the teenyboppers have their "depression"... they'll learn what true misery is soon enough...

In the mid-eighties, Emo-core (punk rockers that were sick of singing about crap like police brutality) came about, and I think it sort of morphed into the more generic indie-rock. I don't know about other cities, but in DC, bands like Embrace and Rites of Spring were a big deal in the Emo scene. Great bands, but they never prompted me to wear thick-rimmed glasses.

DING DING DING.... we have a dead on winner. I am/was one of those "kids". Ah the good ole days
THIS is where "emo" started and should have remained. Its been brutalized and MTV-ized way too much. Embrace, Rites of Spring etc etc all classics.
I enjoy the "new emo" too, but its hardly the same
It should be stated that at that point, none of those guys were really trying to "start" something - it just sort of happened.
I wouldn't even know what "new emo" is. One more thing to make me feel old.

How many emo kids does it take to to change a lightbulb?
None, they can cry in the dark
That describes half of my HS graduating class back in 1998. We called them "Goths".Originally posted by: Excelsior
They do for a reason.
This one from UrbanDictionary works well:
How you can identity an emo kid:
Black, thick framed glasses
An extra small t-shirt/cardigan
Pretty tight pants
Converse All Star shoes/hightops
Possibly a studded belt
Usually carrying around some notebook/poetry book/messenger bag
This too:
One who rejects "pop culture" and joins the counter-culture realm. Usually has ideas contrary to popular opinion and seeks to gain a better understanding of life through artistic venues. May appear depressed, have black or red hair, and dress in a way that is contrary to what is popular. Thrift stores, art, coffee shops, underground music, and poetry are usually of great interest. Contrary to popular opinion, though an emo kid may seem depressed, within their own group there is an element of deep understanding and friendship. Emo kids see the world as beautiful, but its inhabitants as lost and depressing.
