Question:

Emo People and Peace?

A lot of people claim to dislike or mock "emo" people. I'm just wondering, wouldn't it be better if we gave them love and understanding? Even if some of them are faking depression to get attention, attention-seekers usually have low self-esteem, and if they can't get attention in a positive way (perhaps due to a lack of recognition), then they'll try to get some sympathy. I'm not saying that's right what they do--many people have more serious problems, and complainers can be exhausting...but I don't think it's good to make fun of people who hold a different perspective. Life can be a negative place, and lots of not so nice things happen. Much of existentialism claims that life is meaningless, and this isn't exactly reassuring. I think what we should do with those that claim to be emo is help them realize their negative thought patterns, and just give them the understanding they hope for. What do you think...won't this help unify us all instead of segregating us? Peace. :)


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Peace would be wonderful. But... I don't think you really fully understand emo. It's not all depression and broken hearts, there's more to it than that.
