Emo has hit the mainstream? Is that even possible?

Well it's annoying and rude and I don't like it. So stop. And stop assuming that anyone with hair over their eyes is "emo". That's close-minded and stereotyping.

Well yeah, it kind of has, with emotional rock bands breaking into music charts around the world, such as My Chemical Romance and Evanescence, and adolescents making the phenomenon known about, as many of us act like emos and talk about them frequently. Movies made by Tim Burton are considered to be somewhat emo as well, since they are gothic, and as such are adopted by emos as their own. Emo has hit the big time.

Tickle Me Emo!

Post by Disney Duster »

I found the perfect summary of what Emo is...in the form of...

Tickle Me Emo!

Take a gander at his clothes for hints at their music interests, and double-check the box for hints on what they do. Listen to the announcer to learn what Emos are all about! Turn up your sound, because, as many emo kids do, Tickle Me Emo speaks sadly and, thus, softly.
