Cheer up emo kid

Recommended Posts

Fair enough. Calling people Emo is fun if just to see them try and find reasons why they're not Emo. Especially when they're Emo as fuck.

Nope I don't, I know plenty of people exactly like that though. It's quite sickening.

what exactly is an emo kid? based on that picture, I know some folks that dress that way (people in their 20s, mind you)...is it just the clothes or is it a personality type as well?

They have emo kids in England? :huh:

 

Damn globalization.

Oh God yes, Englands youth culture is at current primarly made up of either Emo Kids or Chavs. It's a sad sad truth.

Too true. If you go a website like a faceparty it can be totally split down the middle between:

 

Chavs: Who use text speak, list sex and alcohol as their hobbies and always post pictures of a) Their bare torso b) Their cars (Usually Vauxhall Novas with a body kit on it c) Their tatoos.

 

Emo kids: Tend to spell quite nicely, but list their favorite bands in the about me section because they have no personality and have lots of photos of themselves wearing eyeliner.

 

Once you group them, you're basically left with myself and G Money representing the normal kids in Britain.

It would be funny if it wasn't so desperatly true. Britain is made up of totally generic people.

Maybe I've been out of the country for so long that I missed it, or maybe I don't associate much with them...but I've never heard of a 'chav'... go figure...

 

Incidentally it would appear based on your criteria I maybe approaching the Emo side of affairs...

What does that even mean? As opposed to brand x people? And if you are looking to group people, what about pop teens, pramfaces, "lads", goths, punk posers, indie kids, scousers... all are around in Britain.

 

And Welsh people aren't normal. Just watch and listen to them. No one that produces that much saliva when talking can be 100% normal. :D

 

Also, for clarification, these are what chavs look like.

So like wiggers, except Nike instead of Sean John.

I only recently became aware of this Chav term as well.

 

When I was at school the word was 'dodgeite'.

 

The word Dodge basically meant = Taxdodger/Unemployed/feckless yob etc but became more commonly used to describe a certain area (he/she lives WHERE? I'ts fucking dodge around there you know). As a result, the term 'dodgeite' came about to define you were talking about an individual. Acting like a braindead yob = Dodgeite. A stereotypical dodgeite would have had a baseball cap, big puffa jacket, closely shaved head and been a smoker. East 17 were the official pop group of dodgeite's because they all looked and spoke like one.

 

A Chav seems more image-consciouss and define themselves by their lifestyle rather than just by their disorderly public behaviour at weekends or on the occasional schoolday.

 

I've probably got it all wrong but i'm too old to care anymore.

You fuckin twat. It's an actual word, not a slang term to describe a clique.

ge·ner·ic  adj.

  1. Relating to or descriptive of an entire group or class; general. See Synonyms at general.

  2. Biology. Of or relating to a genus.

  3.

        1. Not having a brand name: generic soap.

        2. Of or being a drug sold under or identified by its official nonproprietary or chemical name.

  4. Grammar. Specifying neither masculine nor feminine gender: generic nouns like waitperson and executive.

pramfaces

this is without doubt my favourite classification.

 

And here in Middlesbrough, "chav" is more than just an annoying fashion, it's a full on scourge - they are out to simply terrorise people and generally cause trouble. Although they're curiously less brave when seen walking on their own.

You're a hipster in training, you know.

 

By the way, we ought to get rid of the scenester classification. They're not what we call them. Andy Warhol and David Bowie were scenesters.
