Emo's ruining Visual Kei??

[PockyMePink]

Well, I didn't exactly mean that I, or anyone, was affected by what people thought of the style, but more of what the style is becoming in America's eyes.

The more emo's steal from VK, the more warped VK becomes. I know, that sounds like the same thing as people's opinion, I'm just really bad at explaining things -_-'

Emo's are greatly loked down upon. Their image is a no better image then people haveon gay's (I'm not a homophob, but I'm sure everyone knows that a lot of people look down on them a lot). If it's just an opinion, I'm fine. But I'd hate to walk into a place and be physically hurt because someone thought I was emo for wearing what they considered "emo chothes".

stereotype much.
it seems like you're the only one that would do that- look down on people because of what they where. why do you care?
this thread is pointless

[PockyMePink]

What? That's not what I'm saying at all. You've terribly conscrewed my words.

I'm smarter then to believe much in stereotypes, only few do I follow, and that's because they've been forced into my mind (I try to think around them, though). I'm doing very well, comming from a very small predijuce city. I was only saying that because, judging by my surroundings, I know how people think and how they view stereotypes. I've had people in my school beat up for being emo, they wouldn't hesitate to do the same to someone who just "looks emo"

And this thread isn't pointless. I always thought that the "emo look" was something people stole from VK, correct me if I'm wrong. What's so pointless about asking people if they agree that the American "emo style" is ruining VK (VK in America, I mean)?

this thread is pointless who gives a f*** if you dont like being called Emo than you should stop doing what makes people think your emo,stop talking s*** about emo people you dont know s*** about them,so stop being a bitch about it.

*sigh* I've yet to say one bad thing about emo's. Only what people think of them. Please inform me where ANYTHING you just posted is related to anything I have said.

I have yet to dress VK much, I'm too afraid to, seeing that people around here are WAY to close minded and I'd end up being shot if they considered me emo/goth

thats the thing then:
Emos aren't ruining it, people that are close minded are ruining it.

"I hate being called emo"

You made this topic, you obviously care on some level.

I find it incredibly ironic though you saying something along the lines of "The more emo's steal from VK..." because that's all kids in western culture are doing, except it's from JRock bands.

Agreed.

Close-mindedness can lead to very bad things.

Visual Kei and 'Emo' are different. It's not the styles themselves, it's the people who think they're one in the same, which unfortunately, I run into all too much. Yet, some of those people are my friends, so I can't really point the finger.

(and I only said the last bit for the emo effect, I'm the farthest thing from emo =P)

"emos" as they like to call themselfs stole VK and so many others styles, if you pay attention it's a lot of styles mixed up...
I wouldn't call those people of emo, I would just call them weird things

For all of you who either don't know what 'emo' is or don't know the details:
Emo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hooray for Wikipedia.

What is there is to be 'emo' about? I thought there was supposed to a cause for all the depression? A lot of emos are middle class, relatively well off individuals, and girlfriends/boyfriends are definitely nothing to bawl and cut yourself over. I knew a few of them personally. All they do is wear really tight jeans, hoodies, and slant their hair. I'd hardly classify it an entirely separate fashion 'genre.'
