Well maybe it's just me who see's it like that but some people really often used emo=goth and emo=cutters ... I don't agree with that.
Now first of all I couldn't care less about some emo fucker imagining how sad and fucked up his life is. ^^ just wanted to say it always feels so good
Now a cutter ...
Cutter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
For other meanings[It first showed a type of ship called cutter], see cutter (baseball)[no], cutter (tool)[not quite yet]and self-harm[ah that's the one]
Self-harm (SH) is injury inflicted by a person upon his or her own body, whether conscious or unconscious. Some scholars use more technical definitions related to specific aspects of behavior. This injury may be aimed at relieving otherwise unbearable emotions, sensations of unreality and numbness, or for other reasons. Self-harm is generally a social taboo. It is sometimes associated with
mental illnesses such as Borderline Personality Disorder, with a history of trauma and abuse, with eating disorders, or with mental traits such as perfectionism
So usually a cutter is someone who really is mentally ill to some degree. Stupidity as it seems to be some kind of reason for emos doesn't count, since until you are below an IQ of 70 you are not considered mentally ill. And by then you have problems with binding your owen shoes.
In other words, some emos may not really be emos but cutters and suffer from any kinda mental disability. But they might find it comforting to seek out others which do have the same problems. Now after some time a cutter would probably have to notice that his/her mates are ... not like him/her and then either leaves them or abuses them ^^
goth = emo ... interesting. I can see where you get the idea. And I would agree that quite a good percentage of people who call themselves goth are emos. But beeing goth is just another lifestyle. Like Hip-Hop. Now please spare me the explanations of Hip-Hop and goth not having even a bit in common. The point is people often only see the clothes and/or the music but actually both are a way of life. Now I don't like either one but that's just fine for me. I can respect people who live their style wholy. But just because lotsa emo suckers feel atracted to the gothic lifestyle because these retards can't understand what it really means is from my point of view not a good reason to call them all ----ing emos...
