how to write an emo entry

Nov 18, 2005 07:13

Intro:
Every so often, it's good to let stuff out. Especially if it's not there in the first place. This is my style guide to emo post formatting. If you're really into it, the first thing you'll want to do is replace your display pic with a small icon that references how great suicide is, or how bad your life is. Don't be put off if you don't understand what is in the pic, if it looks dark, it's good.

Alright.
Emo is the new stylistic rage. Look at my formatting, I'm even starting to look emo, albeit subtly so, what with the pretentious tendency to use one unimportant word to fill up a line. If I wanted to go really emo I'd follow up with some bold fonted swearing about how bad life is. Kinda like...
I Don't Fucking Care If You Don't Fucking Care That I Don't Fucking Care... Fuck

This next paragraph is where you will want to write a long ramble about how horrible your life is. You will want to touch upon how horrible things are making your life lately, but try not to actually say what they are. If you *must* say, replace everything you can with a pronoun, preferably with stars around it.
E.g.

BAD EMO PARAGRAPH
Hi guys. I finally asked Cindy out. She said no, which was bad, and a machine ate 3$ of my money. Life is terrible.

GOOD EMO PARAGRAPH

Life fucking sucks. I have been staring at this knife all day and all of a sudden it seems clearer what I need to do. I don't want to get into what *she* did, but let's just say I'm fucked, and I feel like fucking giving up. If that wasn't bad enough, my day got even worse later on, when *it* happened. I can't take it anymore. Fuck you.

(Special Hint: Take the number of sentences. Take the occurences of the word "fuck". If the ratio is below 2:3, rewrite it)

next, it's good to get a bit deeper, and more philosophical. Mention how you long for the "good old days". Get Their, There and They're mixed up.
E.g.

Fuck guys. Do you ever think that society is really just a whole lot of people who hide they're true emotions behind there cold and empty smiles? Putting on masks to pretend their happy when there really not? Fuck it i wish I could be back in the good old days, before all this shit started to happen...

Finally, end anticlimactically.
E.g.

Well I've gotta go. Peace out.
FUCK.

I hope this helped.
