Our Kids Are Fucked: Emo Threatens Nation's Youth



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.

HAHAHHAAA!!!
Oh man oh man!!
Emo kids are totally the laughingstock of everybody else!
Nobody I know ever takes those emos seriously. I guess they really don't matter...
I can't believe this was made into a breaking-news documentary, like it's some form of evil disease infecting our youth and causing them to all go suicidal. tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue

Since when did THAT become emo? What happened to the shoe gazing emo kids with the glasses and a sunny day album? For real.

However, that video is pretty funny.
