emo kid Tee

This group (notice I didn't use the word 'individuals') is mostly characterized by kids from middle school to high school age. Emo kids are very rarely adults because if your still enough of a pussy to be emo when you're 20, you actually kill yourself when you start to realize that you had no idea what depression(or 'the deep black emptiness thats raping my withered soul' for translation purposes) really is. The second largest characterization is by their dress-code, taste in media (notice I didn't say art. See porn if you want art) and writing poetry with all the same literary devices and genre. The music is usually made by someone who has managed to get rich off of being the most pathetic people the fad has to offer(raise a glass if you see them). They seem to think that dressing exactly the same(black everything so don't bother with your high beams) is also a sign of individuality (See individuality). Their clothes are all purchased, or scavenged, from patronizing all the same places: garbage bins, wal-mart lost and found, thrift stores, Hot Topic, and gratuitously burglarizing the storage buildings of pop stars from the 80's. Finally, the third largest characterization is the insistence on being known as an individual whilst being part of the largest fad in recent history. Most of these children would say that they are individuals because they do what they want when they want. The fault in this logic is that everyone in America does the exact same thing. I highly doubt most of America's youth is still being dressed by their parents and are deprived of choice. They get uppity about getting called goth as well (if you ripped off the culture of an entire group of people that are just as stupid just because you where to scared to be as hardcore as they were, would you want somebody bringing that up all the time?). In effect, all anybody manages to do being an 'emo kid' is to subject yourself to ridicule, dress like a moron, and most likely end up with a head full of regret later on in life about how stupid you were to make out with a member of the same sex just to be seen as 'cool'. They usually are found to frequent malls(a pop-culture hub oddly enough), MySpace and/or Face Book. Their pictures are from a 45 degree angle above their face. (See money shot)
