But it's ok because I'm better looking.


So I hear this phrase "emo" being thrown around all the time now but I don't have a clue where it comes from. I also can only guess at what constitutes being "emo."


Does it have something to do with that Sesame Street character?

Maybe Emo Phillips the stand up comedian from the 70s?

I've also heard it in conjunction with bands as a new genre of music. That band that sings "Float on" comes to mind.


As for its meaning I'm guessing that anyone that has a problem with anything is emo? That is, should I complain about politics, or games, or relationships, and etc... I'm struck by the emo bug.

I wouldn't really say emo is a 'new' genre of music. The term has it's origins in the musical style but is often used colloquially to infer a certain overemotional state most oft associated with the angst and ennui of young adult life. Basically emos are a bunch of whiney cnuts, many times white suburban males, who like to dress in all black, wear makeup, skate like a poser, and cry when people look at them funny.

And for the record, I'm smarter than you, better looking, not an emo ***, and doggone it people like me.

The hell you are. My wife's co-workers all but swoon when I visit her office, where they stare dreamily at the wedding picture she keeps on her desk. To quote one, I "have that whole Carey Grant thing going on".

Congratulations! You have just proved the theory that there is no limit to human stupidity. Just as the strength of a solitary brick will not save a poorly built structure, your bold typeface does not redeem your craven incoherent words.

Apparently I spoke too soon when I said you are all smarter than me. I cannot compete with the witty retort of the common ten-yeared asylum members, but I do however know the difference between a well performed burn worthy of a Racktm and a retarded 12 year old trying to use words 10 years beyond their vocabulary in a feeble attempt to sound smart and gain acceptance in an overtly un-accepting internet forum.

I’ll stick well within my intelligence level when I say, you were breastfed from your Mother’s own *******.


Edit: color tags pwn me...
