emo

Emos are beautiful souls.

I try to avoid it, skipvia. Too lappet-faced for me. ;-)

I love the end, actually: "...hair that is required to cover 3/5ths of the face at an angle." Perfect.

Reesetee, have you ever heard emo music? The only fans are members of other emo bands, and maybe their parents...

I think there's a link to a relevant image for this page. See lappet-faced. If that ain't emo, I don't know what is.

I gather that the author of that article isn't a raving fan....

I love this definition from the Urban Dictionary:

Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who don't smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

Note: I do realize that the word "rifts" should be "riffs," but I think I might invent a new guitar method employing rifts--you know, respecting the silent spaces between sounds, or whatever...
