In reply to: curt you didnt answer my question about emo kids and making out to depressing music
Sure. That is because I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I did make it clear that I am an old fart climber, right?

dude, "indie kid" is sooooo mid-nineties.
and all I know about emo is that it gets played at my gym way too much. I can't really see why one would be inclined to make out to it, though, unless it makes them feel unusually heartfelt-tormented-whatever.

In reply to: why do emo kids like to make out to dashboard confessional and other similarly depressing music?
That's easy. It's cuz they haven't discovered Sade yet.
In reply to: Sade make a shorty drop her pants like they was on fire.
Stupid emo kids... If they knew about Sade they wouldn't be so sad and weepy all the time.

Back in Austin, TX there is a club called Emo's that had a band play there frequently called the "Fuck Emos", which I assumed was a comment on the club itself. I'm sure all of this goes back to the Tickle me Elmo doll from Seasame Street. Pfffft.

Uh, cos they're emo? I'm still hung up on the goth kids that would cut up their arms in class and write bad poetry to Marilyn Manson and NIN (how 1997 am I??). My little brother (who's 17) makes fun of the emo kids, but I don't know if what he listens to is rockin' either. Taking Back Sunday, whine-whine-effeminate wail-SCREAM, type-stuff. Kids. Which reminds me, my dude got the Vans Warped Tour 2004 compilation disc and we listened to it on the way to and from Hueco this weekend. Blah. I must be out of touch... but that s--- was bad.
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about either. And here I thought you might be able to serve as an interpreter between clausti and me.

It's apparant that the term "emos" is similar to what "goth" means, albeit with a particular modification that is only meaningful to those who apply the term or felt the need for it. I think quite possibley for you and me Curt, we could lump all those kids into the group labeled "little fuckheads".

When I was in high school in Utah ten yeas ago it was all metal heads, ska boys, ravers, grungers, and straight edgers.
No emo back in them days, although Sunnyday Real Estate did give a local concert. I think they later became total emo bedwetters.

Hey clausti, there were always guys like that in school when I was younger, we just didn't have a specific name for them. It's actually good that you have identified the personality type, and so can more precisely ridicule it. This is always good.

Yeah, I wear baggy jeans and frequent coffee shops myself. I thought the devotion to a particular type of music and the drivel it embraces was the core of the emo thing, like goth kids wanting to be vampires and get all into death stuff, way cool. Speaking of sort of proto-goth kids, my brother once knew a kid named Danny he met in art class. Danny knew some punk kids who reportedly robbed a grave of an elderly man and put it in their attic and named Gramps. This is the sort of thing I think would later appeal to goth kids to do. I'm surprised there was not a fad like this.

In reply to: I *did* make it clear that I am a loose-jeans-wearing, coffe shop frequenting, shaggy hair sporting, black plastic frame glasses exhibiting, relationally dysfunctional dashboard confessional, something corporate, yellowcard freak right? [but I don't wet the bed] [[though I have made out to dashboard]] [[[I forgot to add likely to wear pithy t-shirts]]]
OK, OK, I get it. I am aware of the people you describe. I'm not stupid, I'm perhaps just not clued in to the latest vernacular.

an Austrailian joke. "Pissy" means quite something else in the States.

Yeah I know. Which is probably why Phil made the mistake of thinking that someone in the US might also know a little about common slang in countires other than their own.

Clausti, you forgot about the scratchy sweaters. That's my favorite emo accessory.

What a sad, sad thing this thread has become. :(
Curt, if I go to Red Rocks with only one day to climb, is Levitation-29 worth my day or should I pick something else? Also, is it in the shade or sun (doable in the Winter without too much discomfort?)?

Emo is like the new Country. Every song sounds the same...and it all sucks.
"Emo" is also short for 'emotional punk.' Frightening concept.
Also, I think clausti is being a little generous by saying that they are usually above average intelligence. :P What a bunch of whiners! :lol:
