They'll still think what they do. It's their opinion on the subject.

Yeah, I've been bullied because people think I'm 'emo' because I wear skinny jeans. But I just brush it off. I've also been called emo because of the music I listen to. The only reason why they tell you you're 'emo' is because of that stuff. I personally, don't really believe in 'emo'. I just believe in the music and the fashion statement.

As I read what they said, I couldn't help but laugh at some of the stuff they wrote. Just stop arguing, "I'm not emo!", because all you're doing is showing them what they want. It just gives them more to write about. Of course I don't find it fair that they are labeling people like they do, but soon the 'emo' phase will pass.

Well said.

I actually liked that article.
They did use the word "emo" way too freely, but all-in-all the rest of the article was pretty fair.
They weren't biased like the Daily Mail.

lol. The guy in the article had it right, over-25's need to stop trying to understand emo. Seriously.
At least this one didn't have such a negative spin.

This article actually made me laugh at how stupid the guy who wrote it was. Either he was using some very well thought out writing techniques or he did genuinely believe in what he was writing because that's what it seemed like. The only thing that made me a little mad was the fact that he was talking about emos as if they were a different race but I'm not going to dwell on it things like this just need to be ignored and forgotten.
