  4. Joe says:

    Does that mean punk plus goth does not equal suck? I disagree.

  5. K. says:

    How true, how true…

  6. persons says:

    ….Thanks… Glad to know I’m punk (knew that) Goth (knew that) and that I suck (many people think that this emo kid is really cool!)

    • wykkedfae says:

      Probably only other emo kids. Tell me, do you have a Zelda cut and Lisa Loeb glasses? Those are the true signs pf an emo-kid; that and being a mopey, depressing, pseudointellectual.

    • Matthias says:

      Do they? Do they really think that? Well, it’s obvious that they respect you because of the individuality you have that comes with your counter culture and not the fact that they’re all the same as you.

  7. LolEmo says:

    Thanks….I knew that I was punk and gothic but I didn’t know that I suck….People kinda like me once they get past the fact that I look creepy and write creepy poems that one boy that swears that it gives him nightmares….

    • wykkedfae says:

      You don’t look creepy; you look like a poseur.

    • Matthias says:

      A) LolEmo is redundant. Everyone excepting emos Lols at them.
      B) Your post is near identical to persons’. Does this prove my point about individuality? I think so.

  8. jinx says:

    Lesson 4 on the video was pretty hilarious!… the same facial expression part. The rest kinda sucked. But then it’s pretty disappointing to see people make fun of cutting and suicide.

    But yeah, I agree with the graph! But I differentiate between the kids who are genuinely appearing “emo/goth/punk/etc” d/t their coping mechanisms for their mental issues… and those idiots who are basically dressing up and acting up so they can fit in with a certain crowd and be “cool.” (LolEmo? persons?)

    Why is it I want to see “suck” in the middle, though? I’d love to see a sociologist take this graph and run with it. :)

  9. lauren says:

    emo means emotive hardcore, douche. It’s a genre of music that died in the nineties.
    Also, the Goths were a scandinavian people who lived in the dark ages and died; the end.
    Punk was a rebel against mainstream culture in England in the Seventies. Is it the seventies? no.

    A person can not be emo, punk, goth, scene, etc.

    • Julia says:

      One is what one says one is. If I say I am a geek, and other people agree, then it doesn’t matter that I’m not fufilling the ‘technical’ definition by not biting the heads off bats.

  10. X-Emogirlandproud-X says:

    ha i laff at that.
    coz emos dont suck.
    neither do punks or goths or chavs or moshers or any other label.
    and
    i dont care what u lot think about me.
    coz im proud of who i am.
    so go ahead and slag me off.
    but i really really couldnt care less…

    • andrew says:

      and i “laff” at your Language…this is syntax genocide. So stopp murder the language…

      cheers

      • Get a life!!!!!!!!!! says:

        I totally agree with X-Emogirlandproud-X cause she’s right! u platics really need to get lives we are who we are and the reason u people don’t like us is because u know that we are different n that we stand out in a crowd n like who we really are instead of tryin to be like some princess barbie poser!!!!! and andrew before u say anythin about her language u should fix ur own!!!

        • Beyr says:

          Heh, there’s ways of being different without being emo. It’s called individuality, it means not following some stupid fashion because you think it’ll make you edgy.

  11. MT says:

    wow that sucks so bad ! u dont know anything at all xD looooser

  12. jackie says:

    ehem
    punk and goth are family
    goth was defined by the cramps and joy division because they had influences such as the sex pistols

    emo is a derived from punk and alt rock

    watch 24 hr party people pick up spin magazine
    or read a book goddamnit people the video and graph is suppose to be funny

    making shots at musical genres and the overlaps in time of musical periods
    you people fail at music history 101 and appreciation 101

    LAWLS

    • giraffe giraffe says:

      actually, “goth” dates back to the third century.

    • tyler says:

      emo means “emotional music”; it’s supposed to be a genre, might want to mention that too- i’m pretty sure you meant it to be implied, but for the idiots on here sometimes… they need it, man.

  13. emo girl says:

    they are STUPIDx(…leave we alone..x(….

  14. pie peeps says:

    O.e thats true yet mean but so true

  15. angela says:

    good one make some more of theree peaseeee

  16. drogger says:

    E M O I S N O W G A Y !!!!!!!!

    Why is that so many gay guys are turning from the fashionista peeps to emOs?
    Wheres the “gay” in being emo! it’s not Yaoi though! although they look almost the same!

    WAHAHAHAHA!

    Goth is the original thing!
    Actually, goth people during the early times are the smartest ones.
    Haller!!! what is happening today is just stupid.

    It is NOT about the LOOK its about the LIFESTYLE!!!

    Grew UP EMOS! Look up to the world!
    Coz the world will not look up to you!

    • tyler says:

      uhmmm… you fail at language… grew up emos? you mean grow up? and by haller, you mean holler, or w/e? also, having three exclamation points for three sentence fragments is just overdoing it. “Actually, goth people during the early times are the smartest ones.” when did “the early times” occur?
      sorry, i just dislike idiots & trolls.

  17. why says:

    EMO’s ARE COOL so this graph = FAIL!!!!!!11

  18. Courtney says:

    I agree with lauren- but hey,why would you want to waste your life trying to change other people? really, just let them be the way they want to be, it doesnt have to effect your life if you just shut up and let them grow out of it. They will, eventually ^_^

  19. Kara says:

    Okay, to the people who have posted idiotic, self-defensive, whiny comments- STOP BEING SUCH IDIOTS.
    Please!
    That graph and that video are only for amusement; you wannabe-emos need to realize that it is only a joke, and not aimed at you personally.
    Plus, I think I am the only one who has posted a comment that looked mature and had correct grammar. Seriously, guys? What’s with the overuse of exclamation points and then a nice patch of 1’s at the end?

    The graph is completely accurate, in my opinion. :D Nice work.

  20. Brianna says:

    Wow. I find the pathetic argument between the posers funnier than the graph and the video. I think goth and emo aren’t derived from music. They’re stereo types. People stereo type you for how you look and how you dress. If you can act “emo” or “goth” and people say you are, then cool. You fell into the pathetic human nature of generalizing and stereo typing. Good job!

  21. EmO_gUy_LoVeS_tHe_BoOkS says:

    This is offensive

  22. PlayMp1 says:

    *walks by, listening to Anthrax*
    Cool.
    *headbangs away*

  23. Trinchelle says:

    i lovee emoooo !
