Something we don't know about you...

It's a misnomer.

Haha.  I love when people bring that up.  Face it, the term "emo" has been stolen and no longer means what it used to mean. 

I don't tell people I like emo music, I tell them I like Fugazi.

[son_ov_hades]

Indeed, but I use it as an opportunity to educate people about quality music.

Exactly. Nowadays there's a huge difference between liking 'emo' and liking Rites of Spring, which is a shame. I hate when stuff like this happens.

The word emo originated as meaning emotive hardcore, but it no longer means that. It now means emotional, whether we like it or not. Let us review a similar example: Take the word gay into mind. It used to mean happy, now it just means that you are a freakin' homo. I'm not gonna go around saying I'm gay and I'm not going to go around saying I like/am emo. lol. It is just something that must be accepted. The masses have spoken.

I had two of my wisdom teeth removed today morning. The anesthetics are still kicking in.

I'm going on vacation for a week starting this Saturday. Please don't blow up your Famicoms while I'm not here .

This forum is going to blow up without you, 133MHz   It'll get flooded with "How to" and "WTF" questions

Have fun on vacation.

Will you leave the country or just travel around inside?

The word emo originated as meaning emotive hardcore, but it no longer means that. It now means emotional, whether we like it or not.

I think I have a solution.  We can use "emo" for emotive hardcore and "emaux" for the whiny commercial stuff.  It's like faux and emo combined, so it makes sense, right?  Hooray for boredom-induced wit

[son_ov_hades]

MTVmo works as well haha.

[nurd]

Oh, kids and their made-up words.

[UglyJoe]

Hey, now.  MTVmo and emaux are perfectly cromulent words.

[nurd]

I meant like "emo" ;p

I guess not really a made-up word, but a word with an extra made-up meaning.

[nintendodork]

made-up words.

Farts FTW

Marga is coming over Friday night.
