According to a local news report in Grand Forks, North Dakota, "emo" is the next youth movement to corrupt the sensibilities of American teenagers, replacing goth culture as the number one enemy of parents everywhere. Yes, that's right; My Chemical Romance is just as, if not more dangerous than Elvis shaking his hips on television, violent movies and even Marilyn Manson.
The story focuses on the 'cutting' phenomenon, but links all manner of dangerous anti-social behavior to wearing tight clothing, hanging out in your bedroom and making mixtapes. Best of all, humorous sites like the Insta-Emo Kit are taken seriously and local youth are interviewed, revealing that teenage angst is shockingly alive and well. What would Kurt Cobain think???
Don't worry, though; the town sheriff knows what's happening and is on the case investigating the infamous "emo scale," which kids everywhere use to evaluate each other's emo-ness; the reporter points out that if you've attempted suicide, you "hit the jackpot." It's times like these that The Onion appears to be a viable news source. Enjoy.
Just out of curiosity, are suicide attempt "jackpot" points cumulative? Does the method used have an effect on your score? Can points be redeemed for mascara or eyeliner from Hot Topic?

Emo frequent flyers. I think your on to a no-fail money making scheme there, my friend.
Are these people serious? This is some kind of satirical joke right?

I think the only real danger to emo kids is frequently getting their little emo asses kicked by kids that are frequently annoyed with their constant whining.
That is ridiculous, lol!, i can believe that they even went as far as documenting this,.. if these kids cut themselves thats theyre freakin problems, i get called emo cuz i listen to music about love, or stuff like that, peoples opinions on emo's can vary and i find it stupid that they are generalizing everyone who might dress with thigther clothes, sorry if i dont want to dress in pants that me and my 4 sibblings can fit it, its stupid, it pisses the hell outta me.
If only they got points for actually dying instead of just attempting suicide the world would be such a better place full of less shitty music and poetry.
