example: ohmygodthatkidswearingablackjacket!!! EVERYONE LOOK! ITS AN EMO!
2. a culture made so someone could seek attention from the world or be 'cool'. all this cutting self, tight pants, and anorexia stuff is only to make people think their actually emo.
example: dude, if i go emo all the girls will love me, because i'd be so sensetive and cry. and if they don't beleive me ill show my wrists off to everyone and wear tight pants. ill be so cool.
mmm... their are people like that in all forms of cliches and other groups and stuff.... its not just emo's
by saying emos are attenstion grabbers your also saying that all mexicans steal, all white people are blonde and dumb, germans do nothing but drink, all cops are rascists, etc.
the whole emo's cut themselves thing was started by a few people that dress "emo" and who liked attenstion a little too much...
thats how steriotypes work and by saying a steriotype is true you might as well say all are true. which is wrong. not all emo's like to cut or are attenstion hogs. its just a few. i wouldnt even say the majority of emo's cut or like attenstion... and if you read my earlyer post cuting is serious... for real cutters... most of the people who cut their rists are just plain stupid...
