Why do people hate Emos?

Emos don't hate themselves. THAT is the problem. They think they hate themselves and their lives, but they don't. They think they are depressed, or anorexic, because they skipped breakfast this morning, or because they cut themselves so that everyone would see how depressed they are.

If anything, emos love themselves. They love publicising their 'hatred' of themselves, they love saying 'you just hate me because you don't understand me!!'

Okay so it may well be 'childish'...but how is that wrong, morally or socially?

It has nothing to do with hating themselves, you don't turn "emo" because you hate yourself, by which I mean "emos" that adhere to the stereotypical ideals, like the skinny jeans, the eyeliner, the **** music, everything that they think will make them an "emo", whoare rather sad in all honesty. I don’t really have a problem with emos, or the scene, but nevertheless, they are not "emo" as "new romantic" was originally intended to be. It has become a fad, a trend, a fashion statement and in so doing it has laid itself to rest, since these are exactly what "emo" was originally formed to counter. I just have a problem with people attempting to change themselves for the most current scene.

Can't believe I replied so seriously to an emo thread.

I meant it's wrong as in the 'wrong' course of action.

'fail' would be the appropriate word really for being an adult emo/grunger/wigger/goth/insert teenage subculture name here/.

There's seriously not. Skin tight jeans + BMTH t-shirt + nike dunks doesn't equal fit

Their hair is pretty fit though, so long as it doesn't go over the top with covering one of their eyes xD

o_O I'm wearing a BMTH t-shirt in my profile pic. but then again i'm a girl, so i guess that doesnt apply to me =]

THIS IS WHY WE HATE EMOS

at the end of the day people will always dislike people who are different and do not conform to 'normal' behaviour (normal behaviour being what >75% of people do), some situations it is sensible to not encourage or like a certain type of people, whereas some people exacerbate the hate that is on them, e.g. chavs drinking a lot and doing petty violence, emos though are just a fashion statement (like punks) they do not go out to change society, i really dont understand why so much emo-hate is around, no one makes you socialize with them

Emo's are just happy to be depressed and it's that kind of mentality that I hate. We should be grateful to be alive because it can so easily be taken away from us.

Why does this make you hate emos? She's just a girl pissed off because people sterotype and make fun of the emo subculture. She's got a right to be pissed off her whining can't be that bad.

I think what infuriates a lot of people is that emos or whatever other subculture think they're not conforming but are in fact all just conforming to something different, then they don't see the irony in calling other people sheep or whatever.

Emos have had an impact on the world by making it cool to 'cut', be 'depressed', have an 'eating disorder', etc. Thus, people who actually have these problems feel they can't seek help because they are branded attention seekers, because everyone else is 'depressed', others don't realise that some people really do need help.

That's why I don't like emos. The fashion sense I don't care about, its this irritating attention-whoring.
