rant.
i;ll be attacking shitloads of stuff, feel free to stop reading any time.
labels
as much as we hate them, or dont, they're inevitable.
first punk, then goth, now emo, soon to be scene until MTV or Myspace or whatever the fuck comes up with a new one for people to suckle on, then before we know it, calling people that won't be trendy, and there will be ANOTHER label which will then turn "un-cool", so on and so forth.
"cool"
Who the fuck defines what's cool and what's not cool?
Is there some higher power that defines:
-what we listen to
-what we wear
-who we talk to
-what we eat
-weather we study or not
-if we should go to parties
etc.
Because the amount of times i've heard a certain individual say:
YOU'RE NOT COOL YOU FUCKING CUNT!
makes me want to throw up.
One thing I noticed:
The people who call themselves 'punk'are into non-conforming, no?
so when someone comes along and tries to hang out with them,(NO this hasn;t happened to me), they say "No, you're not punk".
I've heard that happen before, and it made me think-
how do you fit into a label that demands non-conformity...?
Society & the media:
It's like it's a crime to be yourself these days, instead of people smiling when they see you actually wearing clothes, they glare at you for wearing one shard of black clothing.
That is bullshit.
I was on a walk today, black mcr shirt, grey shorts and long black/red/white striped socks.
I got more glares then the fucking local drug dealer.
People are too upthemselves to notice this going on, instead of scowling at the teenager who's barely clothed, they glare at the person wearing black like they killed their fucking children.
What the fuck?
The media promotes basically everything, and one thing I've noticed there is that it also promotes being yourself, well that's all well and good until people give you death stares for not looking like you "should".
Here's the media cycle-
They're basically telling you to go out, get verbally bashed for doing what they tell you, feel bad for yourself, consume more of their bullshit and do it some more, and the LOW SELF ESTEEM CYCLE continues.
On a similar note..
I used to read some of the girly magaiznes, and i noticed that i would constantly have low selfesteem for not looking like the other girls in the magazines.
They tell you to feel good about your self, but on every second page (as it would seem)there's a photo of a skin-and-bones "model" who's been through HOURS of makeup, and after the photo's taken, then airbrushed to "perfection".
You get low self esteem looking at a ficticious picture for god sakes, they probably to acknowledge this, but choose to ignore it, as long as the girls keep buying the shitty excuse for litarature.
Highschool Parties
And why I'll never go to them.
Basically all the trendy parties to go to are the ones where you get fucked up and almost die.
Consuming litres of alcohol and fucking shitloads of drugs is considered "in". That just seems a bit wrong, doesn't it?
I'd rather be sitting on my ass at home, being "un-cool", then getting my stomach pumped when I over dose.
Judgementality
I know these people at school who hate me because I'm not exactly like them, they claim that they're not like everyone else, when in reality, they're exactly the same.
In this case, I'm not a hiprocrite.
I have a friend, Naomi, who's definately the smartest girl in our year, she hates the music i listen to, the doesn't dress the same way as I do, or go to concerts, but I admire her courage, and she admires mine, we're good friends.
There's an example.
And here's what those guys don't see:
Me and my friends walk out of the school and they throw insults at us, what are they wearing under their school shirts? Band shirts.
If you looked up "stereotypical emo" on google images, I'm pretty sure that you'd see a picture of them.
eg, snake bites, black hair+fringe dyed blonde, bandana around their necks, etc.
Yet they hate us for what reason...? (yes i lost my point in this one).
John Howard
The prime minister of australia, aka national fuck-up.
He puts money into private schools, and when he puts money into public schools it's not for the benefeit of education, it's for the sports team (like felise mentioned).
Maybe if they weren;t so focussed on such an extravagent P.E program, they could have the educational resources for children to feel better about themslves, then they'd get into sports teams and loose the weight.
His politics are bullshit, and he's mirroring bush.
Why the hell did we "need" to go into Iraq!?
I dont think someone should be a leader of a country if they cant think for themselves, and have the guts to say no to Curious George.
Band fights:
In listening to bouncing souls song "sing along forever", something occured to me.
"touch my heart, I'll sing along forever,
give me a reason to care, I'll sing along forever."
If a band means something to you in a certain way, you'll hold that with you, and you'll stick by them
If a band means something yo you, you'll still love them regardless of the fights they've had with other people that dont concern you.
I'm listening to who I want and not giving a shit about the rest.
and as for 'emo'
it'll blow over by the time january hits.
