Article "Emo" [AID #479]

Emo: (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven Hardcore punk") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring, as well as bands such as Fugazi, Moss Icon, and Antioch Arrow.

Examples of being 'Emo' in Gemstone:

[Scene: Jenovadeath just had a bad break up with his girlfriend, Glanvis. They're meeting one last time to return keepsakes.]

Jenovadeath sighs.

Jenovadeath says, "It's so nice sitting very still. In this room where no one else can feel..."
>
Jenovadeath exclaims, "THE PAIN THAT BREAKS MY HEART HEART EACH DAY. I'M NOT OKAY!"
>
Jenovadeath holds back his tears, his eyes glistening with pain.
>
Jenovadeath says, "Sunlight shining through the window... lets me know that I'm still alive. But why did I ever let you inside my heart?! I'm such a fool."

>
(Jenovadeath flips his jet black bangs back.)
>
Jenovadeath says, "Seriously, babe. What's he got that I don't have? Is it his brown eyes?"
>
Jenovadeath rubs his crystalline ocean blue eyes.
>
Jenovadeath exclaims, "I know blue eyes get boring... but... I could wear dark glasses all the time!"
>
Glanvis shakes his head.
>
Jenovadeath says, "Hey... if you want me to -- I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes."
>
Jenovadeath removes a keenly honed crimson steel knife from inside his cape.
>
Glanvis says, "Please stop. It's over for a reason."
>
Jenovadeath cries sadly, tears of sorrow flowing down his cheeks.
>
Jenovadeath sniffs.
>
Glanvis says, "Mix tapes and clothes back, if you please. I have to go meet my new boytoy in less than fifteen."
>
Jenovadeath blinks.
>
Jenovadeath bursts out in tears of frustrated anger.
>
Jenovadeath exclaims, "YOUR NEW WHAT?!"
>
Glanvis says, "Boyfriend. I've moved on."
>
Jenovadeath clenches his fist and glances over at Glanvis.
>
Jenovadeath exclaims, "You ripped my heart out. You tore my eyes out. Now... you're going to PAY. I'LL STAB YOU ONE TIME. I'LL EAT YOUR HEART OUT -- SO YOU FEEL MY PAIN!!!"
>
Glanvis takes a few steps back.
>
Glanvis says, "What... the..."
>
Jenovadeath says, "Let's play this game called when you catch fire, I wouldn't piss to put you out."
>
Tears stream down Jenovadeath's cheeks as he clutches his eyes.
>
Jenovadeath says, "Why don't you go to the pub and have enough drink and drive yourself home. I hope there's ice on all the roads. And you can't think of ME when you forget your seatbelt, and AGAIN when your head goes through the windshield."
>
Glanvis gets a blank look on his face.
>
Maliku just arrived.
>
Maliku glances at Jenovadeath.
>
Maliku glances at Glanvis.
>
Glanvis rummages through his gothic black cloak.
>
Maliku says, "I'd rather be a crying little pussy than a goth kid."

Heh. Hilarious.

Fucking hilarious.

Actually, Harmnone edited it since that particular term isn't allowed to be used on the boards.

[Stanley Burrell]

What the fuck?

Since Miss X altered it incorectly (and left out a vital word), this is what it really said at the end:

I edited it, actually. I edited it for a reason. When we need you to put back what we have edited out, we'll be sure and let you know. Until then, you may assume that edits made by moderators and administrators are made with reason. If you have a problem with an edit you are welcome to contact the person who edited for clarification...that is, if you are the original poster.

Which is true.

In America.

Which you are not.

Message boards definitely are not protected by your Bill of Rights in this instance-- now if you were being slandered, you may have a case..

anyway, that psinet article is hilarious.. my friends and I write emo songs when we're bored, makes for good laughs!

[Kuyuk]

u2u me the correct phrase plz.

[Jolena]

Hmm..all of JD's posts are gone now and I missed the last half of this thread dangit. :(

[CrystalTears]

You didn't miss anything. He was just reenacting his emo behavior. :D

[HarmNone]

Just so all of you won't break into a curiosity rash, I'll "enlighten" you:

An insulting slur related to sexual orientation was used in the original post. Said slur was removed by me. The original poster was quite understanding of the edit. Tabor, apparently, had a problem with it which he chose to remedy on his own by reposting the edited material...several times.

I do hope that prevents at least one emergency room call. I'll have done my duty for the night. :D

[Drew]

Funny text though.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Pf pussy is a great word anyway!

[Sean of the Thread]

Calling a homosexual male a pussy is just as disparaging.
