lol at the Punk/Goth hate against Emo kids.

Was a hilarious watch, but I honestly don't see the emo movement lasting more than another year, three years max. Just like every other tween/teen fad it'll dwindle down to small cult following.

I think that the whole scene/emo look is just a watered down version of the visual kei look they have going in Japan as far as the hair goes.

I was about to say that they didn't cover the issue that emos aren't people and should be hunted for sport, but they talked about that too. They even played the "emo song." This made my day.

also lol at punk kids

that was pretty amusing... but emo/scene whatever the fuck you wanna call it is pretty much nothing more than a new way to conceal being a groupie and a way for guys to try to get laid because emo chicks think it's hot...

you can apply that to lots of fashion styles though

I was both laughing at the first part, then I was clapping at the second part of Emo beatdowns and the rest of the music groups that hate them, even Goths:rofl:

Yeah, I'm sure what pisses everybody off is they are only in it for the fashion and the whole "Everybody is doing it, I just want to be popular" even though they don't know jack shit on EMO is supposed to be about.

What pisses me off about those Scenekids is that I can't believe the media thinks skinny Metrosexuals are supposed to be manly and badass, that's another reason why the other music scene's hates them so much.

Has anybody seen EMO Scenekids fight, it has to be one of the most funniest fights in fighting history:rofl:

I do agree to what g3nshir0_ said, the punk scene is still alive, it's just not the same as it used to be. But I'ts never going to go away. We have a ton of punks in our city, but even more Scenekids:arazz:

Why do kids in black with bad hair hate each other? These punk/goth/emo kids need to unite. No need to hit each other. That's like black on black crime on a whole different level. Kids in black all look the same to normal people.

They all preach the same message: Be different but be the same, criticize society and government, while being in the upper-mid tier in class themselves, and starting enterprises through independent labels, while being against capitalism.

goth etc kids suck.

Ironically enough during my senior year of highschool "scene" was my nickname cuz ONCE i came to school wearing jeans and a black AFI t shirt sooooooo um yeah

edit: to save myself the inevitable flames i bought that t shirt years ago....y'know when AFI was actually a good well known alternative band n not the emoass tranvestites they are today.




What the fuck is up with all the punkrock hate? i am a huge fan of punkrock and i don't know if punkrock is dead or not but around here in long island it more or less is i'm 1 of the only ppl i know who actually likes punkrock and yes if u were wondering it does piss me off when ppl call emo bands like my hawthorne heights or poprock bands like blink182 "punkrock" i know it shouldn't matter what other ppl think n all that but it does somewhat grind my gears to know sooo many ignorant bitches b out there n shit wearing a ramones tee n thinking they're "scene":bluu:

That's about it. Punk as a movement died only a few short years after it started. The music continued, but the message got corrupted soon after that. If in 1979 you weren't lighting cars on fire then you weren't really punk. The "real" punks you will find to be in their mid 40s and night manager at a grocery store. Everyone else (myself included) missed it.

I did enjoy going to punk concerts though. Plenty of kids show up (emos included) and there were no repercussions for beating the crap out of them. During the concert you had free reign to do whatever you wanted. Afterwards the chicks were hot, and incredibly easy. There is the current message of punk, I beat the fuck out of you and take your womens!!! :rofl:

Everyone else (myself included) missed it.I'll have to voice my agreement with Rollins, when he says: "Honestly, I'd much rather hear some guy with big hair say 'Are you ready to rock???' than hear some guy say, 'This next song is about people starving in Nicaragua... you there, stop smiling!'"

I'd wager that rock music in general has declined to the point of being on life support. Metal still has some viability, but rock is dying. The most popular bands now are the same ones that were popular decades ago, and those guys are in their 50s/60s at this point. New rock bands get judged on how much they sound like old rock bands. The talent pool is getting pretty incestuous.

Punk is self defeating. The whole idea behind it was to be counter to what everyone else is doing. At the time that meant very raw, anti melodic power chord rock, and as it got popular, it became more and more structured/polished into pretty much what it was trying not to be. The problem is, the low fi, "I can only play power chords" riffing gimmick has been done to death, so if you really want to be punk, you're going to have to come up with something new. Too bad most punk rockers spend more time brainstorming how to look differently than others than they do learning how to play music.

Semantics. No one said they are the same thing; they are emo scenesters, as opposed to metal scenesters. The term is interchangeable with "scene kid", if anything. It's all semantics, either way, and people arguing about the term is wasting their time. The kids in the video are fucking idiots, regardless of a trendy term.

I can't believe that people are relying on Fox and stories like these for news. Besides being old news, every old white head out of touch with youth culture is going to have a really skewed view about kids these days.

And seriously, as annoying as emo kids are the violent campaign against them is pretty fucking uncalled for, and discriminatory.

EDIT: And Goodm0urning, what old rock band do the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound like? And they sound great, or at least did. Popular rock music is crap, but popular any music is crap because it's corporatized and churned out bullshit. (For the most part) There are still talented rock groups in the underground on independent lablels, like Yo La Tengo.

I'm still into the punk scene for after so many years. They do tend to get more hate nowadays, but they don't care what anybody thinks of them, that's why I love it. They are not there to impress anybody.

I always talked to some of the older punks, the ones who were there from the beginning, and they said Punks have it more hard nowadays since he tend to see more Gutterpunks (homeless punks) nowadays, which gives them a reason why they are angry at society.

We just don't get along with the Upscale Suburban Punks, I don't mind them being rich, it's the snooby, smuggy attitude they bring with them at the venues that we end up picking fights with them all the time, damn posers.

That's pretty much the reason why everybody hates scenekids, they are only in it for the fashion and the popularity, and yet they don't even know who is Rites of Spring which is the band who started EMO in the early 90's.

God damn seriously guys 'emo' kids do dress and act stupid for the most part but what music genre doesn't? There's no reason to be so fucking pissy and irrationally hateful, save that for things that deserve it, not stupid kids with bad haircuts crying about having to take out the trash.

Your form of music is not superior to someone elses form of music, and the same applies to said musics fanbase. I don't like being around emo kids any more than you do, but is widespread hatred and condemnation of their pitiful way of life really necessary?

Find a group more useful to focus hate at, like modern environmentalists. There's REALLY GOOD reasons to bash them.

1) As a whole, the environmentalist movement has gone from one seeking to preserve the earth and bring peace to one that fights globalization/capitalism, while using the benefits of globalization and capitalism to feed their nonsensical cause.

2) The more radical environmentalists (Pretty much any of them beyond someone that just wants to feel good about themselves and relieve guilt by joining) spread their message via use of BLATANT lies (We don't need to be testing on animals to progress in medicine), propaganda ('Save the trees' movement, when trees are grown on farms like any other plant), and in many cases violence (See 'Animal Liberation Front').

3) Most of what they preach is senseless idealism with no possible benefits for either the environment or people in general. Biggest example: Global Warming. Almost everything about Al Gore's movie 'An Inconvenient Truth' is shock-propaganda and lies, the VERY few things that are true have nothing to do with his message.

True:
The Earth is getting hotter
CO2 levels are rising
Increase in Temperature can bring about climate change

False:
We are responsible for rising temperature
CO2 increases cause increased temperature (Actually, CO2 rises AFTER the temperature rises)
Anything we do makes a fucking difference in the overall temperature of the earth. If EVERY PENNY the earth had went to preventing global warming, we'd reduce the heating of the planet over the next century by about 5%.

Additional Information:
Global Warming is not something to worry about, nor something to devote funding to. There are MANY more important causes that we can invest in and make A HUGE difference in peoples lives, such as AIDS, Malaria, Cancer, Poverty, Malnutrition. All of those causes we can actually fight and win, with Global Warming it's impossible, because the earth heats and cools on its own fucking volition. We have very little impact on it. Wanting to save the earth is a noble cause, but the shock tactics of the global warming movement are a step in the wrong direction. What do we need to start doing? Focusing energy on things we can change, such as the previously listed things. If we want cleaner energy, we need to use more nuclear power, and electric cars. However, such things don't get press because OMFG GLOBAL WARMING IS COMING gets such good ratings.
People do die from heat increase, but about 4x that many people don't die from not freezing to death.

See? That's something that actually matters, makes an enormous difference to the world, and is something everyone can take stock in. If people were simply told the truth about global warming, it wouldn't be an issue, because we'd all realize that nothing we do affects the earths own climate change. It happens on its own, without our help.

Focus your hatred on something such as that, not on some stupid kids wearing stupid clothes.

For further reading, check out 'The Skeptic Environmentalist,' a fantastic book. For those of you not in the mood to read, I also saw some very similar, convincing arguments on the Glenn Beck program, Penn & Teller: Bullshit, and some other shows I can't recall off the top of my head. That actually use facts and logic, instead of shock-propaganda and false information/idealism.

To be fair, hippies were worse than punks. VW Pollution buses with 'Save the Earth' bumper stickers were probably the most hypocritical thing to come out of the 20th century. They both need to shut the fuck up though, full agreement.

If i have to listen to one more douchebag suit with white parted hair in his 60's on the news say the words "EMO which stands for emotional hardcore..." I will go postal at the CBC and any other near by broadcasting (I'm looking at you OMNI 1 and 2). Honestly it's okay to cut to an MTV News clip or to have George Strombolopolous on The Hour conduct these kinds of reports on modern youth culture for television broadcasting, but these fucking senial tools (ON FOX NEWS HOME OF RACIST WHITE REPULICAN AMERICA) who have been the defacto staple for TV News broadcasting for years need to stop this age old act of "trying to figure out what's wrong with the dawg gawn kids these days". For fucks sakes don't these people remember what they were like at that age, I bet more than a few were hippies/ mods/ jocks/ freaks/ new wavers/ gen xer's/ ect, and should perhaps try harder to place themselves in the shoes of todays youth before labeling there subcultures as "alien" and "dangerous". Honestly the "kids today" dead horse has been beaten so many times in so many generations by now that the once valiant steed has slowly decomposed into a rotting pile of mutilated and putrid heaps of maggot infested flesh, which is not at all dissimilar to the quality of broadcasting found on the FOX News channel.

Also what the fuck is up with these poser punk kids calling for violence against emo kids??? Please don't be fooled into thinking those fuckbags are accurate representations of the punk rock subculture. I was part of this culture for many years (and still am to some extent) and I can tell you that Punk Rock does in no way promote violence and harm toward other people. Punk is about rebeling agianst the opressors and going against the social norms, and its just as much about loving your fellow man (I'd put no homo but I feel it's a discrimanetory comment) as the hippie music movement. Real punk rock groups are about accepting people for who they are and protesting against those who abuse there power. The movement was never about violence towards other who are not like us. These kids in the FOX video are not real punks and I'm positive FOX just put them in for shock value, a very Springer-esque approach. Anyone who knows real punks will understand that they are good willed people who are at odds with a society of constant oppression which they feel needs reform.

And finally after defending Scenesters so much I am going to go the democratic route out and post a rant about one of the "staples" in their subculture, which is this glorification of self inflicted wounds and depression. There is nothing wrong with teen angst and I'm sure a lot of what these kids feel is real heart ache and pain which is normal for a certain percentage of teenagers and has been scentifically linked to hormonal changes and brain development in young adults. And I think it's wrong that people are persecuting emo kids for allowing these feelings to become apparent. And I also feel that this "Macho" persona for men and "Valley Girl" persona for women (which are social ideals that seem to be stuck in the 1950's) that are still forced on youth today really need to stop. And I feel that emo kids should have a right to express there angst without being cast out by the rest of society.
But,

where i draw the line with these kids is this sick obsession within the scene that promotes cutting and glorifies depression. All this does is trivalize the publics perseptions of depression and makes the masses think that depression doesn't really exist if all angsty kids claim they have it too. CLINICAL DEPRESSION IS NOT SOMETHING THESE KIDS LIKELY HAVE NOR IS IT A FASHION ACESSORY THEY CAN AQUIRE. I have personally come out to all my friends, family and co-workers that I am bi-polar in an attempt to reduce the stigma that society has towards mental illness. And trust me, coming from someone who has been institutionalized for episodes of depression I can tell you that these emo kids that are video bloging on Youtube about thier "deep soul crushing depression" are just dealing with normal teen angst and they do not suffer from real clinical depression. I personally take offense when ever some poser scene emo kid starts talking about suicide and bragging about their anti-depressants infront of a webcam when they have no fucking clue what they are talking about.

People please don't take these kids seriously when they make claims about suicidal thoughts and depressions, and don't be fooled into thinking depression is nothing more than normal teen angst because these emo kids really need to STFU about this subject end of story. Depression is caused by a physical illness which is a chemical inbalance in the brain that effects seritonin levels in the body, it's not some girl pants wearing black haired guys reaction to his scenester girlfriend dumping him for his best friends sister.


Wow what a rant!!! Well I guess that's what happens when you don't post for several days in a row, it all comes out at once.

hippies and punks were rich kids trying to act poor and are idiots trying to convince themselves that society is hurting THEM. What a bunch of idiots.

Everyone is ignorantly caught up in a cause that wastes enormous quantities of money and time which could be committed to existing, helpful organizations, and thus the medias constant coverage of global warming and ignorance of the facts of the matter has led to an enormous, wasteful social movement whose opportunity cost is entirely too high to let slide by. Billions of dollars, countless time wasted on a fucking wild goose chase when there's plenty of real people to help.

He, and the entire global warming shitstorm have shit in all our cereal.

edit- If you're going to neg rep me, at least respond with your reasons for disagreement. If you have none, and simply think I'm wrong with no reason to think such besides propaganda and hysteria, take a second to criticize your own beliefs, <3

I'm always up for a debate/discussion, but random neg rep with no attempt at argument is rather squirrelly.

young kids are very impressionable(especially the dumb ones), so its sad to see so many get caught up in a scene that advocates cutting yourself and dressing like a ***. but the truth is why should i give a fuck? its darwinism at it's greatest and hopefully they'll self-genocide themselves out in a smooth 10-15 years. it's not like emos are going to effect my (future) family. if any of my kids even thought about turning emo i'd pull their card with the quickness. its everyones responsibility as a parent, because if your kid is emo you fail at life and should of never had kids

Hah. The fact that you're right for the WRONG reasons annoys me. Global warming is for real to an extent, but it is being drawn out of proportion in the media while overlooked in politics. Environmentalism is a multi-BILLION dollar industry that looks to prey on the ignorant each year. Honestly though, do a bit of research on the topic. I'm sure you'll find a lot of interesting stuff to change your opinion on the matter ^_^

Punk is self defeating. The whole idea behind it was to be counter to what everyone else is doing. At the time that meant very raw, anti melodic power chord rock, and as it got popular, it became more and more structured/polished into pretty much what it was trying not to be.I guess I see that punk lives on the artists that are still countering the shitty music norms of today.

I'm heavily involved in the music scene. Some know me on here to be a electronica producer from the Music Producers thread from way back, but I've been playing shows around the east coast for about 6 years and going to them for a lot longer. So needless to say...I've seen the scene change a lot. The music scene that was once primarily a punk rock scene is constantly evolving, but the mentality and energy is still there in a lot of bands today. My own bands style went from punk to thrash metal, but we retained the same drive.

I'm in a more upbeat electrorock band these days and also produce lots of electro stuff (new FLStudio 7 kicks ass btw), but I can never really forget my roots and the word "punk" carries a lot of meaning to me. When I saw people putting punks and emos in the same sentence I got weirded out.

on topic:
I don't even see why this is such a fuckin' issue. Every new generation has some trend to follow. Go about your lives. There just white rich kids with too much time on their hands. gb2 listening to your latest RPG soundtracks and jerking off to hentai and eventually they'll suicide themselves out of existence. I already hear about how stupid emo kids are in real life, do I really need to read about it on SRK?

You didn't state any ways in which I'm wrong, and I've done quite a bit of research on the topic. See my larger post a page back, if you haven't already.

Emo died out in the early 90's. Whats left is just shitty fashion core with even shittier kids who should just kill themselves and get it over with.

BTW- Scene Kid used to be a derogatory word...kinda like scrub. I love how people now embrace it. Shit like this makes me regret my childhood.

That's what I always tell those ignorant fucktard kids. EMO died in the early 90's with bands like Rites of Spring and Beefeater, and they don't even know who are those bands.

I knew some actually EMO's from the early 90's, and even they feel embarrassed by the scenekids. The real EMO's I knew never paraded their image with a happy crowd of kids, they say that fashion is not important, the attitude is. And these scenekids only base it on fashion and popularity. The real EMO's never overdid their image through fashion, they never even wore eyeliner or had their hair covering one eye, and these kids do which is a lot worst.

They are making a mockery of what real EMO's actually believed in more than a decade ago, and these kids actually take their lame ass image seriously.

What makes it even more lame is that they admit to being scenekids, it's just as lame when people admit to being posers!
