What does it take to be emo?
Hmm… It’s an unknown knowledge to most people that we want to feel sad sometimes. The concept of being miserable is very inviting cause, ironically, its fun. When miserable we’re emo, then comes the booze, the comforting friends, the rampant curses to that special someone, and of course the endless sound tripping to the songs of Dashboard Confessional, Butch Walker, etc the list just won’t stop. Emoness adds spice to life. It feels good to scream and feel sorry for yourself sometimes.
This is why I think that most people are emo for the sake of being emo. They’re really fine pretending to be not. You’d be surprised to know that those who look fine and happy are those who have the biggest problems in the world. Its simple, you don’t want attention for what you’re ashamed of having. But in truth, it hurts so deep that it doesn’t bleed.
So why do we want to be emo? Its far from lonely but sometimes, its all that you’ve got.
I salute the god in you.
