i was going to write something utterly emotional tonight, about lost love and how unfair the world is and how it has treated me wrong and love lost and how wronged i was by others.. (keep this in mind : the general rule of emo) but i'm not going to do that. i'll just be one of those 'emo' kids. no i'm not (no longer at least). i'm fuckin rock and roll bitch. ahh you would never understand.

revolution 'emo'

grunge was a revolution. punk was a revolution. and since the blogging revolution started not too long ago, along with it came the 'emo' revolution. or rather it made the revolution known. it made being publicly 'emo' possible, anytime, anyday. and those friendster, myspace and whatnots (now thats another bashing for another day) were made medium, like trojan horses, for this very movement.

general rules to writing emo.

exaggerated feelings.
but not really letting it all out cos emo's aren't whiners, they are just emotional. the trick to writing emo is to repeat the same thing again and again using different phrases (see opening paragraph). insert a poem or sad song lyrics in between. phrases like 'she broke my heart' dont cut it. say what you really feel, and if you feel like someone tore up your heart and fed it to the dogs, be dammed if you dont make a poem of it. and remember, impossible is nothin. 'its been so cold without you the past 3 years since you were gone that dark august night, i've even resorted to wearing thick long sleeve camouflage uniform in the 1 oclock afternoon sun and walking long distances, and although i have a map and compass, i'm so lost without you.' yeah you know. something like that. never reveal who you are writing about, make up names to replace the original names cos you are not out to diss others, you are just emotional.

ask rhetorical questions repeatedly.
you see everyone has the potential of being emo, guess what, we were even taught told to go emo way back when we were still kids without anyone realising it. remember how they used to tell you to ask questions, be inquisitive and curious cause thats how you learn? same goes for emo. ask a lot questions, but not really specific ones, just why. 'why did she have to go? i know he is much more good looking, taller, richer and i know i haven't been much of a boyfriend but why does she have to go and leave me here out cold and lost in the dark taiwanese jungle? oh why?' repeat the questions if need be. remember you are not a fuckin retard for not understanding the fact that you are fucking ugly and broke that you have to ask so many times to noone in particular, you are just fuckin emotional.

pick up some issues.
like how unfair people are for bashing you for smoking when you've been posting a stick-o-meter on your blog and telling people you're really bad ass for pickin it up but its not really you. ahh you know how it goes. bottomline is just have some issues. whats being emo if you dont have issues? you cant play soccer without a ball can you?

always believe that noone understands you.
the whole point of having issues and exaggerated feelings is to garner sympathy and concern and maybe even love because you are emotional and you need love. but here's the trick. you dont succumb to the false concerns, what do they know? they aren't the ones getting their hearts ripped out and eaten up. you will take it that they judge you and they dont understand you. with that you got another issue. 'why dont anybody understand me? why?' see. its that simple when you know how it works. just like magic.

and just like a magician who has broken the magician's code i feel really bad for revo-emo but you'd never understand how i feel. noone ever does. and oh yeah. why?

p.s. goooooo emo! i am but a hypocrite.
