I highly doubt that in 50 years there will be children looking at old "emo" stuff from back in the 00's, saying "wow! this was a ground breaking style and music that changed the world!" So it's nothing like hippie. All the good stuff happened before 2000. Well, i guess Obama happened, but they should send him back in time, so we can read about his amazing acomplishments now.March 28th, 2009 at 04:37am

Ugh.
Emo style is nothing new. Its all been done in the eighties. Its kind of sad when people walk around in tiny skinny jeans, converse, and impaired vision and think they are something new. Sorry guys, my mom wore those pants too.
And sorry if those examples were stereotypical, but I was only making a generalization.February 11th, 2009 at 05:30am -
I think you certainly have a point here. Not only the hippies but you can also use the punk movement of the 80's (I speak for Britian here as I am British) as an example for this. Just the other day my English teacher was speaking about the punks of the 80's, so perhaps in twenty years time teachers will refer to the 00's as the 'emo' generation. To be honest, I quite like the idea of that. It makes me laugh.
Highly interesting article.

That's a really good point... I never thought of that.October 19th, 2008 at 05:13pm

I really do think that "Emo" will be remembered in future years. Textbooks will talk about how emos were riduculed, and they might even discuss the emo riots in Mexico.October 17th, 2008 at 04:47am

Oh yes, and I also agree with the person below me. Emo IS just a trend, but trends are one of the many things that are remembered about different generationsOctober 14th, 2008 at 02:32pm

I agree. Though I'm not particularly a huge fan of emo, there's no denying that it's a huge part of youth culture in this age and time. I think this era will definatley be remembered as the age of emo, hardcore, long bangs, skinny jeans, and too much eyeliner. Kids 10-20 years later will be listening to MCR and thinking they're retro. haha.October 14th, 2008 at 02:30pm

This article is well written but I have to agree with the others that emo is just some trend. The only thing 'emos' do is look the same. Okay, perhaps people will talk about them in future, but the difference to e.g. hippies is that they don't have a message to bring across, they don't protest against anything, they just hang around and are proud that they are all 'different' although they aren't.
uhh...I wrote a lot of mess here, sorry.October 11th, 2008 at 09:14am -
Paper.Hearts.Parade.,
What exactly are Emo's rebelling against? Conformity? Most of the people I see walking around would be put under the "emo" category. Itr's kinda become "non-conformist" to [i]not[/i] walk around with ridiculous hair and retardedly tight pants.
Flapper girls were against oppression. Hippies are anti-war. Punks are anti-corporation. What are you guys against?October 11th, 2008 at 08:53am -
Trends can get people killed. Prejudice and hate are not logical.
Anyway, I thought the article was entertaining and well-written. Can't wait to read more articles by you!October 11th, 2008 at 04:20am -
FORTY OZ. CASUALTY
But Emo is a social movement, people frown upon non-conformity, and yet some are conforming by not making it their own.
Also, the stereo types associated have caused great debate.
Mexicans created a mob, and Russians banned "emos" from entering public and government buliding.
That is very social movement like.
Trends don't get people killed.October 11th, 2008 at 03:51am -
FORTY OZ. CASUALTY- I had not thought of that before, and I agree. That's a very good point.October 10th, 2008 at 09:26pm

Emo is a trend.
Flapper girls and hippies were social movements.October 10th, 2008 at 09:21pm -
Sigh.
Even more proof that I'm an anachronism.October 10th, 2008 at 07:44pm
hmmm...
