Yep, couldn't agree more Lou & Gwynne. I think it's pretty ridiculous to say that a certain type of music or dress code makes you act in a certain way. Every generation has some kind of group that teenagers etc will belong to. I myself, got into the whole Mod-revival thing in 1979 to about 1985. |

I don't see anything sinister in how lou discribes it either .But it would seem that teens here are useing the word Emo and have a differant understanding of what it means . |

Some of the young people in my youth theatre group would describe themselves as emo but I wouldn't describe them as suicidal at all. They appreciate a particular genre of music and like to dress in a certain way. |

Hi Lou thanks for the info ...........unfortunatly it would seem the children here are associating emo in a different way from how you say it is . |

Emo.....stemming from the music genre that has become known as Emotional Rock......bands like My Chemical Romance and similar artists led the way. I have to point out that not every teenager who claims to be Emo will self harm or consider suicide for some it is simply a way to blend in. I myself am 20 years old and so lived through the first sproutings of this Emo trend. The suicide cults are a whole different thing and i think that labelling every teenager who is an Emo as some one mentally vulnerable/unstable is a little harsh. Suicide and self harm has become a trend but i wouldnt blame the music/dress sense because everyone has a mind...people make choices. Some just make the wrong ones. I myself lost a dear friend in April, he hung himself. He was not Emo. |

Have also had problems with the "emo" cult that seems to be entreing High Schools all over, from what I can deduce from my daughter self harm and suicide seem to be the goal.Thankfully it seems to be dieing down a little here . |

Yeah, I know all about the "emo" thing. On a less serious note, we call my son emo-boy, and my daughter che-mo, she's a cross between emo & chav! Hahaha! |

Does anyone have any information on this? I've tried googling today to see what I could find out, but haven't been able to find anything. |
