Is the whole 'Emo' scene composed mainly of confused adolescents who pretend in order to fit in

Is the whole 'Emo' scene composed mainly of confused adolescents who pretend in order to fit in?
Its kinda comical to see this whole 'emo' movement. What's the point? It's not possible that all 'emo' people are so sad, dark and depressed ALL the time. Get real. I'm sure that the majority of these little kids are just posing to fit in and find some kind of identity. Buts its not mentally or physically healthy to wear this 'cloak' of 'emo'tional problems and live in some world of translucent and perpetual depression. That's not even logical. I mean who really WANTS to feel depressed? Maybe those who simply want attention. My thing is this, If you can afford to buy your little emo clothes and buy your favorite emo bands cd every week, and stay in your little air conditioned room and blog on your little emo blog site, then you really don't have any problems. Go to Sudan, or Myanmar, or Fallujah, or somewhere where there IS no internet, no electricity, no water, no food, no hope. THATS EMO!! Quit all that silly posing, quit whining to your parents, get a job, and grow up!

I guess. I am my own individual where as others have no clue what their own life is about.

dude, here's the deal. "emo" is an extremely offensive term to me. its like i'm some poser...when im not. ok my parents both died, im living with my aunt who's terminally ill, people love tormenting me....that's when life sucks ok? thats when you are depressed...and to all you posers out ther...QUIT IT!
3 :
I understand what you're saying... the thing is... people have different ideas, that's the problem. Many of them may be only acting depressed because they want to fit in but that's their thing! They thrive on peers so they adopt anything new... kinda sounds like survival, huh? Only, this isn't about preservation of life, but preservation of popular acceptance. Kinda weird, isn't it?
4 :
The only reason I'd be emo is if there was no food. Like ABSOLUTELY no food, not even rats or roaches.

wonderful Thailand

wonderful Thailand ?
Do you know that thousands of the hilltribe people living in the border area between Thailand and Myanmar is treatent so badly. They can't get any help to school and medicin and many dies from completely normal diseases because they can't get any medicin because they have no passport. Nobody want them, and they have to stay alone between two countries. We are talking about more than 2 million tribe people along the border. Why is etnic tribes all over the world treatent so bad.?

Yes, I know all about it, but if we do anything to help anyone, then 70% of the planet bïtches that we are insensitive to other cultures blah blah blah, so I guess the rest of the planet can live in its own misery. .
2 :
The problem of people who live in borders with neibhouring hostile countries is really pitiable. The countries cannot differenciate between common people and activists fighting for some cause and the treatment meted out to the entire population there is none too good. Improved relations between the neibhouring countries is the only solution. VR
3 :
I know many tour agencies which make trips to hilltribes bring along clothes and medicine and even money. The 2 contries Thailand and Myanmar give them bad areas to stay in. I understand why they make and sell opium to survive.
4 :
Well, it's not just ethnic tribes. Minorities all over the world are treated just as badly in varying degrees. That's the cruel reality of life isn't it?
5 :
Nope. I didn't know that. It sounds terrible. They receive this type of treatment because they either lost a major war in their culture or they didn't stand up for themselves or their families at some crucial time and hoped that if they never made anyone not like them people would get along with them. No wait, that's the Dems plan...
6 :
What you say might be true of a few people living in refugee camps, having been kicked out of Burma by the illegal government there. However, it's nothing like two million people. The two million you speak of is the total number of hill tribe people in Thailand. Most of these have a happy life. I speak from probably more first hand knowledge that almost any other westerner, as I lived in one of those hill-tribe villages for six years. In fact my daughter's first language was Lahu. While I am not saying that they are treated like VIPs, most of them now have Thai ID cards, and are officially Thai citizens. I think you unfairly aim your critiscism at Thailand, when it should be aimed at Burma. Burma has a military government which refuses to recognise the results of the last election held there, and keeps the winner of the election, Aung San Sui Ky, under house arrest.

What to do with life........PS:I'm an Otaku?
Ok.....here's a thing......I'm an otaku.......not just any otaku......I'm a freaking crazy Otaku.........watching anime and playing rpg is all I live for(right now.....I play or watch anime and video games for 15 to 20 hours a day depending on my lessons).........I'm from myanmar........and in my country my grandfather is the top dog.........and a really nice old man too.......I really love him and I live with him for my entire life..........that's beside the point.....the think is......I'm.......well......really confuse right now........all I know is being an Otaku.........nothing more.....I finish high-school and I'am studying to go to japan to be an anime artist or a video game designer but......it's proving to be quite hard.......for some reason.......I can't seen to get a long with people so well.....even now......I don't have any friends.......don't get me wrong.......I do have many friends when I was young.....I even became the class rep. for the student council.I go to yiec international school if that helps.but when we get older.........people change......they really change........they aren't what they used to anymore.they aren't so simple to get along anymore.....so I decided to break away from my friends and devote myself in watching anime and playing video games.......that was 2 years ago when I was 14(in my country.........we finish high school when we're 16 not 18)and after I finish high school.....I started on concertrated on my japanese lessons......but.........my dad thinks japanese is sh*t.he want me to get a diploma fast and join our family work.But I tell him that I'm an artist not a money making machine.aside from my lessons and my otaku stuff........I spent time making maps of a world that doesn't exist, designing charaters and writing dialog.I told him that japan is a dream world for me.....I can't just forget about it.and then.....he punch me in my face.......and yell at me that I'am nothing but a dreamer......falling in love with something that isn't real.And my grandfather stopped the fight and tell me that I'm like a son to him....and he's ok with anything by my way......he even said I can stay with him with weekly allowence with food and roof above my head.but I tell him I can't......I have to follow my dream.....but my dad's action worries me........guys........what should I do.right now........u guys are the only ones I can talk to....thanks for giving me an ear.....sorry if it took so long

Aghh! My eyes! Please use paragraphs! First up, get a life. I don't mean that as an insult, I mean it as a course of action that you need to take; get outside, explore and talk to people. If you don't do that it won't matter what you do or where you go. It's absolutely crucial to at least try to become the kind of person you want to be; if you don't like yourself then other people will feel uncomfortable around you. Second, get yourself a job (leave within a year and move on before you feel stuck in a rut) and get your own place to live. Your father IS dragging you down and I don't believe you would ever be happy following in his footsteps. Learning Japanese is NOT a waste of time and neither is learning how to create manga but be pragmatic; if you want to be a real artist you will have to be capable of providing whatever the customer wants and that will include a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with manga, animé or video games so give yourself a broad range of creative ability. Have you ever been to Japan? If you're under 25 (I think the age is 25) you could go to Japan on an exchange/work program like JET. Just be aware that Japan like every other Country has it's depressing side; if you saw your home town in an anime or manga it would look absolutely nothing like the view from your window and it's the same with Japan. Expect to see a crappy side to it.
2 :
I understand how you feel... As you get older people do change... When you get to college or begin working you meet new people and that sort of has an influence on you... Look... If you have the talent for being an animator and video game designer then hell yea go for it... and you're still 16 so you have lots of time to practice and improve your work... Show your father all the stuff that you've made... explain to him how good you are and maybe he'll understand... besides you're still too young to take over the family business... Also I suggest you go to college... I think you may be able to take animation and so on as a major... Also.. Try to take some time off anime... and try other activites... Just watching anime for so many hours will make you dull...
3 :
use paragraphs. You're a crazy anime fan and i cant blame you, you could still be anime fan and not be a loner. Go outside and go downtown and go to anime places and meet friends. Just go to school and watch anime when you're done with everything. Even though im younger, i was in the same place as you ( kinda) and i devoted myself to anime and everything anime related until i realized that i have one life only and i have to be happy or i'll die alone. so i got off my butt and i want to watch anime till i die and but happy with friends. Then follow you're dreams. When you're dads finished with work or when he's free , tell him that you want that life - not his and tell him that you love this life. Be happy
4 :
u should try and spend less time on otaku stuff & go out more often
5 :
There is nothing wrong with loving anime, your not alone, a LOT of people enjoy it and watch it a lot. They are just few and far between unless you live in Japan. Now that being said, it's NOT a good thing to sit inside all day and night and watch anime, being an "otaku" which I honestly think is a retarded term, and you do realize japanese people laugh at non-japanese people that call themselves otaku. I am a carpenter by trade and am 24 and still like to watch anime, in fact since I really didn;t watch much in my earlier years I am watching more now then ever because I missed a lot when I was younger, haha it makes me sound old but when I was younger we just had dial up and believe me you can't watch ANYTHING streaming online with dial up. So I had to deal with waht was on tv (dragonball, dragonball Z, that kind of stuff, around here, they didn;t really play very much anime, and especially not really good ones, except DBZ of course which is awesome) You really should concentrate on getting some social skills, its ok to watch anime, but to ONLY watch anime and dream of going to japan is not alright. There are lots of good stuff outside of anime: sports, friends, family, girlfriends, etc If you want to go to Japan then go, but just realize that watching anime won't give you the funds to get to Japan to realize your dream, you have to actually do something about it. Learning japanese is an excellent idea and not "shit" at all. You can do much more with multiple languages then just draw and create anime, so even if you learn japanese you can still find other jobs until your dream can be realized. Stop watching so much anime and get some friends, you can't just think "oh these people don't like anime so I can't possibly hang out with them, we don't like the same things" you have to meet them halfway, enjoy some things they like and things will start looking up.
