Those of you who know me, know that my current occupation is as a partner in a small business, namely a Cafe/Functions centre. In this role, I have the great pleasure of working with and meeting alot of great people.
One of our employee's happens to be a wildly entertaining young guy named Cory. Thanks to his age, Cory knows everything. He claims to know what an EMO is. I had previously heard the term bandied about in relation to people who were semi goth and depressed about how crap their lives were. This amused me no end, seeing as most of them belong to Generation Y and all of us Generation Xer's know how good their generation got it. (Way better than us, dude's....)
Imagine my utter astonishment when I showed up to work a function wearing a pair of black "Chuck's" (Thats Converse Chuck Taylors for all you oldies) which I had purchsed expressly for the fact
that they were black, comfortable and great for the kitchen, only to be informed by Cory that I was wearing EMO shoes. Yeah, this from a guy who wears a black t-shirt with a dead bird on it on a regular basis.
It kind of became a running joke, you know who was the most EMO of both of us. I very nearly lost when I got the black streak in my hair without thinking it through....Well, I have decided once and for all to put this to rest and of course, ultimately WIN the argument.
Thanks to the wonderful contributors of Wikipedia, I have found the definition for Emo. I am pleased to report that I am NOT an EMO, not that there is anything wrong with that....
"At the same time, use of the term "emo" expanded beyond the musical genre, which added to the confusion surrounding the term. The word "emo" became associated with open displays of strong emotion. Common fashion styles and attitudes that were becoming idiomatic of fans of similar "emo" bands also began to be referred to as "emo". As a result, bands that were loosely associated with "emo" trends or simply demonstrated emotion began to be referred to as emo." For further reading go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/emo

My Lovely, I do believe you've hit the proverbial nail on the head!
I mean, what are all these EMO dudes going to do when they eventually grow the hell up and have real issues to worry about ... like paying the bills and raising kids?
Have I mentioned that I'm glad you're back?
Hey Little Miss Kylie!!!
So thrilled you dropped in!
Thankyou for your lovely comments as always, I am so very glad to BE back!
I promise to call, soon, till then take care of you and Boy Wonder,
Love Tye x
HAHA thats so funny....lame but funny!! ok so u got one definition! well what about this definition: What is "emo" and why is everyone always talking about it?
"Whether the word "emo" has you reaching for the black hair dye and eyeliner, or running for the nearest exit, it's hard to deny that it's the teen culture genre of the moment. And like so many music terms used and abused, we've reached the point where nobody is really sure what "emo" means or exactly who is doing it. Here's our attempt to make a bit of sense of it all.
The origins of emo
'Emo' was first used around the mid-1980s in Washington, DC, where American punk rock bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace would become spontaneously emotional during what had previously been traditionally aggressive performances. Hence the emo tag (short for 'emotional') started to get used.
This scene grew in the '90s due largely to the breakthrough success of 'emo-core' heroes Fugazi, but by the new century, the term emo was being associated with more commercial punk-pop acts such as Jimmy Eat World, although none of these bands were willing to define themselves as emo.
Emo today
In the last couple of years, whether by a genuine sub-cultural movement or just some very clever image marketing by record companies, emo has become a teen cultural phenomenon as Goth was in the '80s and grunge was in the '90s.
As with grunge, it is very hard to define the actual common attributes that the bands in this so-called scene share. However it is safe to say the most popular bands associated with emo today, such as AFI, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco and Fall Out Boy, do loosely share a pop-punk sound, melancholy, overwrought lyrics delivered in a high-pitched, theatrical fashion, not to mention a stylist who only learnt to cut hair so that it covers a third of the face at an angle and advised against regular shampooing.
How emo are you?
The mainstream adoption of the word emo isn't even about the music and is just as likely to describe a fashion, lifestyle or a generally depressed demeanour. Emo can be likened to a melancholy version of punk. Or alternatively, a tougher version of goth.
Use our checklist to confirm your emo-ness:
Are you under 20?
Was the last time you smiled at your tenth birthday party?
Are you wearing:
Skinny black jeans
Converse All-Stars or Vans
Eyeliner
Piercings
An asymmetrical haircut in which a long fringe is brushed over one eye
Are you members of the official site message boards to any of the previously mentioned bands?
If you answered 'yes' to most of these — congratulations, you're emo!"

Check it out for ya self!
I had it just in case ya thought up something like this....and u picked the lameo one..
nice try tho...It was a good laugh.
N ill admitt im kinda emo but not a full emo.
but check the list twice ur almost an emo....lol
And as for Kylie...REAL issues..... Paying bills and raising kids! i agree with the kids part as kids theses days seriously need help mainly for there PARENTS who are either to busy trying to pay the bills or just dont give a Shit. (Not say anything personal as i wouldnt no first hand).
Also i think that there are bigger issues such as teen suicides, domestic violence, violence in gerenal, lol global warming, War, poverty. But these issues are such a problem that even the parents Us teens/young adults are supposed to aspire to can't seem to deal with... maybe society in general needs to grow up n get some balls n face shit that really matters.
lol.. talking is so much easier than typing..
lol u crack me up tye...
Ur a savior to all emos out there...u put the smile on an emos dial...lol
Cory xxx
Please explain Cory, Why it is you need MY help studying for the SAT exam? You seem to have written a magnificent little essay all by yourself.
There is a saying "one thinks thou doth protest too much.."
Dude, sound familiar? You seem to have gone to an awful lot of effort writing that INSPIRING essay. Obviously something you feel very passionate about!
So it begs the question Cory, did you get any closer to proving I am an emo? I think not. In fact all you did was prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that YOU are in fact a HUGE emo!!!!
Thankyou though for that enlightening, educational moment.
Love Tye xxx
lol.i didnt write all of it. but thank you. n i have to agree when i do find something inspiring i find myself willing to put in the hard yards. its finding inspiration thats was the problem.
Lol all i need now is the Question "What does Emo really mean?" on the sat n ill be ok.
Oneday the student will become the master.... oneday! till then...im off to be inspired.
I know your exam is on Saturday, so its probably a bad time to tell you this...The student can only become the master if the master did their job right.Which means you have no chance of ever becoming the master under me!
When you pass your SAT's it will be because of YOU, not me my dear.
If you werent such an EMO, I would tell you to simply believe in yourself, but I think thats against your religion yeah? Like Shampoo...
Thank u :-) you should look at that emo boy one on this blog:
