When you really think about it, isn't existentialism just emo without the music and the side swept bangs?

I really want a Neighborhoodie that reads, "Existentialism is Emo". Feel free to buy me one.

Why do you hate me? And how many more neighborhoodies do you need?

You can never have enough Neighborhoodies! *





* available on my emo masterpiece ''Jabberwok With Me"

I don't have any Neighborhoodies as of yet. And I don't hate anyone, though calculus does suck.

but Mathematicians ROCK!

Bullshit Tornado Detonation

Did you go to OSU?

Emo is Existentalism maybe better, since one came before the other.

Plus, you don't want to lose half your audience in the first syllable...

guava is a fruit.

did you guys know that some guy's semen smells like pancake batter?

Yeah, that new dude? Tastes like it, too.

what the hell is a Neighborhoodie? And does asking that guarantee that I'll never be cool? crap.

I weep therefore I am?

I'd wear that shirt...

No. It guarantees you'll never be a teen model.

Emo died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know. I had a telegram from the home: 'Emo passed away. Funeral tomorrow. Yours sincerely.' That doesn't mean anything. It may have happened yesterday.

I think my uglyness took care of that one

No, but that orange parka isn't helping matters any.

I keed, I keed.

NO. Not knowing neighborhoodies did. We had a meeting. It was close. Sorry.

So, which are you? Emo or existential?

you must know about T-shirt hell, right? t-shirthell

so that was the clincher huh?, I'm amazed I made it that close

T-shirt heaven is much better.

SO close. But now you have to go drink this stuff that smells like pancake batter.

ehh.. i really don't see the connection. but then again, i'm a philosophy nerd.

Existentialism, as it is defined by both philosophy and literature is associated with individuals in constant turmoil with themselves, their communities and the universe at large. The genre of pop/goth/punk that has been dubbed "Emo" relies on similar cultural connotations. There is still an element of the anti-authority message of punk rock, reminiscent of the struggle between society and the individual. Emotional, heart broken lyrics reveal internal conflict. The influence of morbid goth rock evokes individual vs. the universe, nature, time. That was my thought at least.


I like philosophy, too.
