Man, oh man. I LOVE it. It gets me every time.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I'm the epitome of "public enemy." Fear me.

Oooh, a finger heart and a TGUK t-shirt. That's worth at least, what, fifty points?

As a former resident of Grand Forks, I would like to say this is a joke.
But sadly, it's probably not.

Escpecially considering that I used to work at the Television station that ran this report. Good people. None of them shop at Hot Topic, so I can understand the confusion........

The report focuses on Eddy County, which is pretty damend rural, even for North Dakota. They good citizens of that county used to burn down abandoned farm houses that had ACDC logos spray paint on them because people thought it was in reference to some kind of cult. IN THE 90s. No lie. I have it on good authority.

God I miss the Good old industrial/goth scene. At least they had the hardware AND the stupid clothes to warrant misunderstanding. Oh well, Just goes to show the trends hit slow in the deep cold of the upper midwest.

holy chit.

Finally someone recognizes that Emo is a problem and a disease! I think I'm going to form an Emo neighborhood watch and roundup all the Emo kidz then ship them out to Nevada. I must save my fair city from the terrible Emo culture that has destroyed Grand Forks, North Dakota! I am also going to write Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger a letter about the danger Emo poses to the Great State of California.

Now if only National Punch an Emo day had been better publicised...

don't send them to nevada! jesus, there are enough two toned hair, pizza toed, mad dog mugged folks here as it is. and i blame california *or at leaste the bay, as being one of the bad influences.
sigh.
fine.
just send them to vegas, or as i like to call it, slutty disneyland. everyone loves disneyland.

I was wondering about that accent.

I've said it elsewhere, but I can't tell which is worse:

being a contemporary emo kid and having such ridiculous, conformist tastes and not realizing that you could have been actually pretty cool and somewhat rebellious and not utterly pandered to by MTV if only you were ten years older

-or-

being a typically depressed teenager with the usual fears about entering a weird, fucked-up world and internalizing that in all sorts of ways, some stupid and some not, but then having a bunch of pandering misguided assholes from the local television station try to 'fix' your problem with poorly researched human interest stories.

If you want to convince pretty normal kids to turn themselves into self-mocking freakshows, point a camera at them and ask them why they're so fucked up. They'll start believing you eventually.

Cheer up, emo kid. And emo emu.

What a waste. I think Sawyer from Lost came up with the best way to get the emo out of a wallowing kid: a sharp punch to the arm followed by a command to "cowboy up." Maybe they should institute an Upping of the Cowboy policy.

I think that sherriff needs to worry more about his cholesterol....

in my own personal experience, today's so-called "emos" are the kids that used to play sports and make fun of me in middle school. apparently, it is now cool to be a nerd, as long as you and your friends have a uniform and all listen to the same shitty music.

it really scares me that self-mutilation and suicide have become a sort of cliche joke thanks to emo culture. now people with real problems have to deal with the "emo" label. and by REAL problems i mean those that don't include figuring out a way to roll up your testicles so they fit in your sister's jeans.

What I need to find, though, is that emo points list. I MUST KNOW MY CUMULATIVE SCORE!!!

People still listen to that shit?!?

Yeah, before emo kids there were never cliques and exclusivity in high school subcultures.

cf. goth kids through the '80s and '90s.

The only thing emo ever got me was a cool picture of myself in a pea coat in high school, but come on, these kids are ridiculed enough by anybody with sense- have some pity on them.

I'm only 22.6% EMO, guess I'll have to work harder. Check your score at http://www.geocities.com/ctskaboy/emotest.html. stupid kids

I can't find the damn thing either.
