Emo Conspiracy

Most people by now had heard the term emo. The trend was easy to describe, though everyone had a different twist. "Goth meets Harry Potter" was one that Jeigh laughed at because it held some truth. As much as Jeigh didn't like to admire fads, she liked the emo look, particualrily the emo glasses and old chucks. Jeigh found this stereotypical, yet amusing site: http://www.dobi.nu/emo/ because she knew that some people reading her blog were still living in the dark ages and were not familier with the term. Where have you guys been for the last ten years?

However, she'd been asking around for about a year what emo-style music was. She got a thousand different answers. Everyone knew Emo was short for emotional, but music was supposed to be emotional. It was art. She even did some research on the internet and after only a couple minutes, she figured out excactly what emo was. A conspiracy. Someone had started it some time with no real style in mind and everyone was like, "Yeah! I like emo too!" even though they didn't know what was going on. They just wanted to be cool. So then others caught on until everyone said they either did or didn't like emo, but in truth, no one really knew for sure. They coppied how other people have defined it, but there were so many different versions. Some people defined it as having really cliche sappy lyrics that repeated over and over, but wasn't that just pop? Other people said it was like whiny boys singing about their loves and losses. But wasn't that just regular boy-bands -- in the same vein as 90's pop? The best way to define it was to give examples and Jeigh had never heard of any of these bands before.

There is no such thing as EMO!
