rites of spring Mug
A truely talented punk rock band formed in 1984 in Washington DC. They are credited with defining "emo". By this I mean the true and original emo. Not the emo we all know of now days as Hawthorne Heights and Dashboard Confessional, where cutting wrists and wearing eyeliner is the main theme. When Rites Of Spring banded, the main music at the time was punk rock. But Rites Of Spring took punk music a step further by integrating love into their lyrics. They wrote love songs that still had the punk flare if the '80s in them. Along with highly emotional performances that were more emotional than most bands at the time. And that is what emo really is. A musical genre. Not wearing girl pants and thinking you're life is so miserable. The word emo supposedly came from the word emocore, which was short for the genre that the Rites Of Spring fit into: Emotional Hardcore. Throughout the '80s and early '90s, that is all the word emo was. But then came the 2000s, and the word emo was slowly becoming a new word with a completely different definition. Modern mainstream bands were inspired by the past emo musical genre. They played it in their own way while changing it. Then came the emo kids. The emo kids usually followed and listened to the newer bands that took after and raped the old emo. A general emo kid consisted of the following things, give or take a few: - Converse shoes - (On guys) Girl pants - Hair covering the eyes - Band T-Shirts - Dyed hair, usually black and sometimes mixed with red, brown, blonde, etc - Often lonely and misunderstood - Sweaters/hoodys - Lip, eyebrow, ear, labret and sometimes tongue piercings For whatever reason, people began using the term emo to describe people who listened to or followed modern emo bands: the emo kids. The original meaning of emo was forgotten and replaced by the definitions you now see on this website. A band being the modern definition of emo is now a bad thing and is often frowned upon or recoiled at. Examples for "emo" bands are as follow: "Taking Back Sunday? Pfft. They suck. Fucking emo bands." "hawthorne heightso is so emo, omagahzz cut mai rists n blak me eyes </3" "Thursday is so emo! I love them!!!" And examples of negative thoughts towards so called emo kids: "Cheer up, emo kids." "Dude, see that kid over there with the Taking Back Sunday shirt, dyed red & black hair, eyeliner, converse and girl pants sitting in the corner alone over there? What a fucking stupid emo fag." "Emo kid: I'm so different. Nobody understands me. Nobody gets me. I HATE MY LIFE. *Slits wrist with a razor blade*" I gag whenever I hear someone describe a modern band from the 2000s and late '90s as emo. The modern society of teenagers have no idea what the true definition of emo is, where it came from and what it really meant. I just wish the world could know about all of this so that this so called emo plague that has spread over the globe can finally cease. I just don't understand how the world could turn a musical genre into an insult. What a damn shame. I'm sure I didn't do a very good job or pay much attention to detail.

I've had this mug for over a year now and every single day it watches while I shower. It makes me safe sometimes protects me from the voices. Other times I'm lying on the couch watching judge Judy and eating my hot pickles and the mug becomes angry I feel it approaching me with menacing aura. Next thing I know I'm pooing out pieces of ceramic. Overall, its a great mug but only if you can afford multiple colonoscopy's and extremely invasive anal procedures a year. If you have the money for that THIS IS THE MUG FOR YOU.
This mug has given me a new meaning to wake up everyday. I absolutely adore it and I don’t think my life would be the same if this mug did not exist. A gift from God, truly.
What a sexy ass mug ヾ(*’Ｏ’*)/
My daughter is a Seinfeld afficianato. She was pleasantly surprised when she opened the package with her Penske File mug. It has the definition of Penske File from the Urban dictionary. Totally worth the price!
gay mug very spicy
The Urban Dictionary is a unique place to find anecdotal memories on all sorts of stuff. Their ongoing communication once your order is placed is excellent. I have put in a significant number of orders recently, and the communication regarding my order status is excellent. I have had one order misplaced in transit. They have contacted me to say that they will get back to me, but to this point, they have not. So, that's a bit of a caveat in my rating. Overall, I would rate their products and customer service as good. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Fill Your Boots with Whatever You Want to Order. Nice job, "Urban Dictionary."

This mug gives my life purpose. It's what I've always said. Patience is a virtue and hard work never betrays. Ever since I was born I've been struck with one misfortune after another, but today it all paid off. I got my own mug, and I use it anywhere and whenever I can! Both of my legs are shattered because to my wife threw me in the middle of traffic and my windpipe is messed up due to me screaming all the way from the crash site to the hospital thanks to the unbearable pain I was feeling. Although even with all that's happened this is still the best day of my life. I suppose the only problem I have is that whenever I happen to look at my cup I get a little too happy. That causes problems because my life support can't handle my exhilaration, haha! I'm just kidding; that was just a little lighthearted joke of mine. I actually cannot afford life support because I spent all of my life savings on this fine piece of pottery. Not to worry though! I can get through the pain with my will and drugs - I mean medication. P.S. There are definitely no ghosts in the mugs. Just wanted to point that out in case someone was worried about that.
I bought two mugs as gifts for coworkers and they were very pleased. The print was clear and concise. Hopefully they last a long time.
Ordered a gift for a friend I hope he likes it :)
