A conversation with an emo kid

My sister is an emo kid. She has told me all about being emo. If you want to know how an emo-mind works, keep reading:

EMOTIONS

Being an emo-kid is not all about the looks. Its about EMOTIONS. Emo-kids are very much in touch with their feelings and they have a broader perspective of feelings than regular people do. And when they feel things, the feeling is ten times stronger than when regular people feel.

LOVE

Her boyfriend has the excact same haircut as her. (long, coloured black hair with a long, sideswept fringe) and they share eye-liner (MAC in very black) they take the bus together when they are meeting up with other emos. They sit side by side and listen to My chemical romance on the black ipod, wearing one earplug each.

FRIENDSHIP

When emo-kids meet they watch corpse-bride and Salad-fingers on youtube and recite Edgar Allan Poe poetry together. They talk about how stupid people are to discriminate them and how unfair the world is treating them.

SELF HURTING

Emos have as mentioned earlier very strong emotions. They are mostly depressive ones. These emotions are to be shared with the world. The way they do it is by cutting the pale, pale skin on their arms so that people see their scars and know they are suffering. My sister plays with Cedric, so he scratches up her arms so much it bleeds. It makes her feel better, she says. And it looks really cool.

Emos have been trained to not laugh of jokes. My sister has a mantra she repeats to herself whenever she has the urge to laugh; “Gerard Way is dead”. One of her more extreme friends put razorblades in his anus and clench his butt cheeks together when he feels like laughing.
